Conscious: the information we ( are aware of, are not aware of, repress ) in the present moment
Preconscious: thoughts and feelings which we may become aware of during dreams or ( Freudian slips, Pavlovian slips, Freud's slippers, Skinner's slips ) (e.g. calling teacher 'mum' instead of 'miss')
Unconscious: the ( majority, minority ) of our mind. It stores all of our ( instinctive drives, current thoughts, conscious feelings, conscious drives ) that have a significant effect on our behaviour and personality.

Question 4 of 18

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Freud describes personality as a tripartite, meaning there are 3 parts:
1. The id: this part operates on our ( pleasure, reality, morality, surreality, obscurity ) principle and is based on ( unconscious, conscious ) drives and instincts. It develops at ( childbirth, 2 years old, 5 years old, 2 weeks old ), and is characterised by a need for immediate gratification.
2. The ego: the ego mediates between the id and the superego. It operates on the ( reality, surreality, obscurity, morality, pleasure ) principle and develops at around ( 2 years old, 5 years old, 16 years old, 2 weeks old ). The main way in which it reduces the conflict between the id and the superego is by using ( defence, offense, attack ) mechanisms.
3. The superego: this part operates on the ( morality, reality, obscurity, surreality, pleasure ) principle and forms at about ( 5 years old, 2 years old, 2 weeks old, 16 years old ). It is our internalised sense of ( right and wrong, respect, black and white ), and it punishes the ego for wrongdoing via guilt.

Explanation

Question 12 of 18

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

In Maslow's hierarchy of needs, there are 4 ( deficiency, efficiency, growth ) needs (physiological, safety, belonging/love, esteem). In order to move up the hierarchy, you must ( satisfy, dissatisfy ) each need. For example, you cannot satisfy the safety need if the physiological need isn't satisfied. There is also a ( growth, strength, actual ) need, self-actualisation, which is achieved when ( all, 3, some ) needs are satisfied. People in extreme poverty and privation often can't satisfy their physiological needs, let alone self-actualise. This can lead to ( restlessness, restfulness ) and ( dissatisfaction, satisfaction ).

Question 14 of 18

Which researcher investigated humanistic therapy?

Select one of the following:

Freud
Maslow
Rogers

Explanation

Question 15 of 18

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Rogers claimed that, in order for a person to self-actualise, their view of themselves must be ( congruent, incongruent, different ) to their ideal self (the person they want to be). If the gap between the self and the ideal self is too ( large, small ), ( incongruence, congruence ) occurs, and ( negative, positive ) feelings of self-worth ensue.
For example, if Person A's ideal self is a mechanic with 2 kids and a happy relationship with their partner while living in the UK, but their current self is unemployed with no kids or relationship and they live in Antarctica, incongruence would occur.

Explanation

Question 16 of 18

Select from the dropdown lists to complete the text.

Rogers created ( client, group, self, ego )-centred therapy to ( reduce, increase ) the gap between the self and the ideal self for clients. He found that many adult experiences, such as low self-esteem, are the result of early childhood experiences and a lack of ( unconditional, conditional ) love on their parents' part. Because of this, Rogers aimed to provide his clients with unconditional ( positive, negative ) regard. This meant the atmosphere of the therapy was warm and ( non-judgemental, judgemental, analytical ), and the client is encouraged to discover their own solutions.
