MULTIPLE CHOICE

1.Jung’s view of personality differs from Freud’s in that Jung:

a.	placed an even greater emphasis on the unconscious.
b.	emphasized social factors in personality.
c.	considered human nature to be shaped solely by future goals.
d.	placed more emphasis on sex.

ANS: A

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: Introduction

REF: 82

FEEDBACK: A significant point of difference between Jung’s view and Freud’s view of personality revolved around the unconscious. Rather than minimizing the role of the unconscious Jung placed an even greater emphasis on it than Freud did. He probed more deeply into the unconscious and added an entirely new dimension: the inherited experiences of all human and even prehuman species.

2.Jung’s theory is concerned with:

a.	inherited primal experiences.	c.	consciousness, much more than Freud’s.
b.	the development of social relationships.	d.	past events, not future aspirations.

ANS: A

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: Introduction

REF: 82

FEEDBACK: He probed more deeply into the unconscious and added an entirely new dimension: the inherited experiences of all human and even prehuman species. Although Freud had recognized the influence of inherited primal experiences, Jung made it the core of his system of personality.

3.Carl Jung’s childhood experiences included:

a.	a typically happy and peaceful Swiss family life.
b.	the attention and adoration of a young and attractive mother.
c.	a life of ease based on his father’s success in business.
d.	personal loneliness plus the marital conflicts and mental instability of his parents.

ANS: D

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 82

FEEDBACK: Jung’s difficult and unhappy childhood years were marked by deaths and funerals, neurotic parents in a failing marriage, religious doubts and conflicts, bizarre dreams and visions, and a wooden doll for his only companion. Although kind and tolerant, Jung’s father experienced periods of moodiness and irritability and failed to be the strong authority figure his son needed. Jung’s mother was by far the more powerful parent, but her emotional instability led her to behave erratically.

4.Jung’s early life was characterized by:

a.	a secure relationship with his parents.
b.	religious doubts and conflicts and bizarre dreams and visions.
c.	a high degree of self-confidence and an intense ambition to succeed.
d.	parents who held extremely strict religious views and emphasized the virtue of hard work.

ANS: B

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 82

5.Jung’s theory of personality differs sharply from Freud’s concerning the:

a.	role of unconscious.	c.	understanding of dreams.
b.	early childhood experiences.	d.	inner growth of an individual.

ANS: D

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 83

FEEDBACK: Jung’s loneliness is reflected in his theory, which focuses on the inner growth of the individual rather than on relationships with other people. In contrast, Freud’s theory is concerned more with interpersonal relationships, perhaps because Freud, unlike Jung, did not have such an isolated and introverted childhood.

6.Jung broke from Freud’s concepts because:

a.	he decided to follow his own ideas and viewpoints on personality.	c.	Jung had no contact with Freud on a regular basis.
b.	Freud was Jewish and Jung was a non-Jew.	d.	he placed far more importance to sexuality in shaping personality than Freud did.

ANS: A

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 84

FEEDBACK: Jung had his own ideas and unique view of the human personality, and when he began to express these notions to Freud, it became inevitable that they would part. They severed their relationship in 1913.

7.How did Carl Jung overcome his neurotic disturbance, which later influenced his theory of personality?

a.	By confronting with his conscious mind
b.	Through the exploration of his dreams and fantasies
c.	By laboratory experiments in psychology
d.	Through word-association tests

ANS: B

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: The Life of Jung (1875–1961)

REF: 85

FEEDBACK: Jung overcame his neurotic disturbance by confronting his unconscious through the exploration of his dreams and fantasies. Out of Jung’s confrontation with his unconscious he fashioned his approach to personality. Jung established his theory on an intuitive base, which derived from his personal experiences and dreams.

8.Identify an area of disagreement between Jung and Freud.

a.	The existence of homosexuality	c.	The importance of dreams
b.	The existence of the unconscious	d.	The nature of libido

a.	a broader and more generalized form of psychic energy.
b.	the primitive and carnal desires inherent in all individuals.

10.What is the term given by Carl Jung for “personality”?

a.	Ego	c.	Persona
b.	Psyche	d.	Libido

ANS: B

PTS: 1

A-HEAD: Psychic Energy: The Basis of Jung’s System

REF: 86

FEEDBACK: Jung used the term libido in two ways: first, as a diffuse and general life energy, and second, from a perspective similar to Freud’s, as a narrower psychic energy that fuels the work of the personality, which he called the psyche. It is through psychic energy that psychological activities such as perceiving, thinking, feeling, and wishing are carried out.
