Adler is to____, as Freud is to_____

Adler is to____, as Freud is to_____

• A. Teleology; Early childhood
• B. Mechanism; Libido
• C. Humanism; Unconscious
• D. Behaviorism; Phallic stage

Answer: (A)

Adler’s view focuses on teleology—people act with purpose toward future goals, aiming for mastery and social connectedness—so behavior is understood as goal-directed and forward-looking. Freud’s framework centers on unconscious forces shaped by early experiences and psychosexual development, especially in childhood. That contrast makes the correct pairing: Adler with teleology and Freud with early childhood. The other options mix in ideas that don’t fit Adler’s goal-directed emphasis or Freud’s emphasis on early-life unconscious dynamics (for example, calling Adler mechanistic or tying Freud to modern behaviorism, or pairing with libido or phallic stages in a way that doesn’t reflect the overall orientation).
