Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
A theory is matched to the thinker who formulated or is most closely identified with its central explanation of motivation or personality.
The reliable method is to recall each thinker-theory association independently and then read the Roman numerals in the order of the names in List A.
Application
The four independent associations can be organized as a direct mapping:
Thinker | Associated theory | Code |
|---|---|---|
Hull | Drive-reduction theory | IV |
McDougall | Instinct theory | II |
Freud | Psychoanalytic theory | III |
Maslow | Need theory | I |
Reading the codes in the List A order gives the required sequence.
Contrast
I, II, III, IV reverses the theory assignments for Hull and Maslow.
IV, II, I, III interchanges the theory assignments for Freud and Maslow.
IV, I, II, III misassigns the theories for McDougall, Freud, and Maslow.
Therefore, the matching sequence is IV, II, III, I.
