Day 131 MCAT Practice Question

Answer B is correct

Described by Abraham Maslow and colleagues, the humanistic perspective is a

theory of personality that focuses on the key role of free will in the traits that a

person develops and expresses. The humanistic theory posits that, because of

free will, people do not always do the things they wish to, and thus, human beings

struggle in the achievement of self-actualization, which can be hindered by the

paradox that wanting to do a certain behavior does not imply that one will actually

choose to do so. For this reason, Answer B is correct because the humanistic

perspective would most likely consider the paradox described in the question stem.
