Core Tenets of Humanistic Psychology
The Humanistic approach emphasizes individual potential and inherent goodness.
Evaluating the Assumptions
The basic assumptions of the Humanistic approach include:
- (a) People are naturally striving to be creative and happy: This reflects the core Humanistic belief in an innate drive towards self-actualization and positive growth.
- (b) It is possible to specify an universal set of values: Humanism supports the idea that shared ethical principles can be identified to guide individuals, providing a moral anchor for making decisions about right and wrong.
- (c) Uniqueness and potential realization: While central to Humanism, this statement is not part of the correct answer pairing for this question.
- (d) Scientific study of potentials: This contradicts the Humanistic view, which critiques reductionist scientific methods for fully capturing the complexity of subjective human experience and free will.
Identifying the Correct Combination
Statements (a) and (b) accurately represent key assumptions of the Humanistic approach as presented in the options.
