Select every statement that is TRUE about humanistic psychology.
Hints
- Two options misstate the hierarchy's rigidity or borrow from Freud.
- Maslow allowed exceptions to strict ordering, and unconscious sexual conflict is Freud's, not humanism's.
Show the answer
- A. Incongruence between self-concept and experience can cause distress.
- B. It arose as a reaction against both behaviorism and psychoanalysis.
- E. Unconditional positive regard means acceptance regardless of behavior.
Why
The Third-Force reaction, unconditional positive regard, and incongruence-causing-distress are all true. Maslow allowed higher needs amid unmet lower ones, and unconscious sexual conflict is Freudian - so those two are false.
