(Answer to Q. 1)  ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Allport described six criteria for normal, mature, emotionally healthy adult personalities. They include the following: (1) mature adults extend their sense of self to people and activities beyond the self, (2) mature adults have a sense of humor and self-objectification, and (3) mature adults subscribe to a unifying philosophy of life.

(Answer to Q. 2)  a. a resilient id.
c. self-objectification.
b. the extension of the sense of self.
d. a unifying philosophy of life.

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: B
FEEDBACK: The adult personality grows out of childhood and is no longer dominated or determined by childhood drives. Allport described six criteria for normal, mature, emotionally healthy adult personalities. By meeting these six criteria, adults can be described as emotionally healthy and functionally autonomous, independent of childhood motives.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: D
FEEDBACK: If the mother or primary caregiver provides sufficient affection and security, the proprium will develop gradually and steadily, and the child will achieve positive psychological growth. Childhood motives will be free to be transformed into the autonomous propriate strivings of adulthood.
