(Answer to Q. 1)  ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Ten years after the initial study involving parents of 8-year-old children, the children, then age 18, were given the depression scale of the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). Those whose test scores showed they were more depressed had been neglected in childhood by their parents.

(Answer to Q. 2)  ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Early recollections of adult criminals dealt with disturbing or aggressive interactions with other people. They contained more unpleasant events than the early recollections of a control group.

(Answer to Q. 3)  ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Early memories of people diagnosed as anxiety neurotics were concerned with fear; early memories of depressed persons centered on abandonment; and early memories of those with psychosomatic complaints involved illness.

(Answer to Q. 4)  ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Although most of Adler's propositions have resisted attempts at scientific validation, several topics have been the subject of research. These include dreams, inferiority feelings, early recollections, pampering and neglect in childhood, social interest, and order of birth.

(Answer to Q. 5)  ANS: C
FEEDBACK: Adler's primary research method was the case study. Unfortunately, little of Adler's data survived. He did not publish case histories except for two fragments: one written by a patient, the other written by a patient's physician.
