Question 1
Which approach in psychology emphasizes the role of unconscious drives and early childhood experiences?
Correct Answer Explanation
Psychoanalysis, founded by Sigmund Freud, emphasizes that unconscious drives, repressed memories, and early childhood experiences are the primary determinants of adult personality and behavior.
