AP Psychology
Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.6
How would a staunch critic of Sigmund Freud's psychoanalytic theory potentially refute the fundamental concept of unconscious desires driving human behavior?
Freud's theory is based on a small sample size, mostly comprised of educated women from Vienna.
The psychoanalytic approach does not adequately account for learned behaviors or societal influences.
Unconscious desires are unquantifiable and unverifiable, thus making them unfalsifiable and not empirically sound.
Freud's conclusions were biased due to his own personal experiences and introspection.
