Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Horney believed that social relationships in childhood, rather than sexual impulses, were the primary determinant of personality development. She also emphasized the importance of cultural and societal factors in shaping gender roles, rather than Freud's idea of penis envy in girls. However, Horney did not make any specific statements about women staying at home to care for children, so choice D is not accurate. Lastly, Freud's psychosexual development theory involved five stages, not four, so choice C is incorrect.
