Question

Match the following:
\[ \begin{array}{|l|l|l|} \hline \textbf{Column I: Perspectives in Psychology} & \textbf{Column II: Concept of Human Nature} \\ \hline \text{P. Psychodynamic} & \text{(iii) Controlled by inner forces and conflicts} \\ \text{Q. Behavioural} & \text{(i) Reactors to the environment} \\ \text{R. Humanistic} & \text{(iv) Free agent seeking self-realization} \\ \text{S. Cognitive} & \text{(ii) As thinkers} \\ \hline \end{array} \]

• A. P-iv; Q-iii; R-ii; S-i
• B. P-iii; Q-i; R-ii; S-iv
• C. P-iii; Q-i; R-iv; S-ii
• D. P-iv; Q-iii; R-i; S-ii

Hint:

Psychodynamic → unconscious conflict, Behavioural → environment shaping behavior, Humanistic → self-growth, Cognitive → thinking and reasoning.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Match each perspective carefully.
- P. Psychodynamic → (iii) Controlled by inner forces and conflicts (Sigmund Freud’s idea).
- Q. Behavioural → (i) Reactors to the environment (based on stimulus-response theories by Skinner and Watson).
- R. Humanistic → (iv) Free agent seeking self-realization (Maslow’s self-actualization theory).
- S. Cognitive → (ii) As thinkers (focus on internal processes like thinking, memory).
Thus, the correct match is: \[ \boxed{{P-iii; Q-i; R-iv; S-ii}} \]
