Feedback on the questions in Assignment 01

Each question will now be discussed. The correct alternative has been identified and highlighted
in yellow, and an explanation has been provided on why it is correct.

QUESTIONS ON FREUD’S THEORY

QUESTION 1

Freud is well known for his development of which theory?

A. Psychosexual theory
B. Archetypes theory
C. Classical conditioning theory
D. Hierarchy of needs theory

FEEDBACK ON QUESTION 1

The correct answer is alternative A. Freud’s theory is, commonly referred to as a psychosexual
theory. This is because Freud’s developmental theory focuses on the development of the sex
drive and how society and the child deal with the accompanying problems. Theory of the
archetypes is associated with Carl Jung. While hierarchy of needs is a theory that is linked to
Abraham Maslow. Classical conditioning is a concept that is generally employed by radical
behaviourist theorists such as Skinner.

QUESTION 2

Hope finds herself attracted to a work colleague who isn’t her partner. When she gets home, she
unprovokedly accuses her partner of being a flirt. Which defence mechanism is Hope
employing/deploying or using?

A. Projection
B. Regression
C. Fixation
D. Rationalisation

FEEDBACK ON QUESTION 2

Alternative A is correct. In the above case scenario, Hope is attributing her own feelings or desires
to another person, in this case, her partner. The prescribed textbook explains projection as an
attempt to keep the unconscious and threatening psychic material unconscious by projecting the
focus to the drives or wishes of other people and thereby ignoring the impulses within themselves.
Fixation transpires when an individual’s psychological development becomes partly stuck at a
particular stage. Regression occurs when an individual partially or totally returns to the behaviour
of an earlier stage of development in which less anxiety and frustrations were experienced.
Therefore, alternatives B and C are incorrect. Alternative D is incorrect since rationalisation is a
person’s attempt to explain their behaviour, towards themselves or others, by providing irrational
reasons.
