Answer

Brief Explanations:

  1. For the first question, positive reinforcement is used to increase desirable behaviors. Psychoanalysis focuses on unconscious - mind exploration, negative reinforcement removes an aversive to increase behavior (not the same as directly increasing with a positive stimulus), and punishment decreases behavior.
  2. For the second question, repression in psychoanalytic theory occurs because many unconscious thoughts are of a threatening, sexual, or aggressive nature. Emotional problems can be a result of repression rather than a cause, scary dreams are not the cause of repression, and forgetfulness is different from repression which is an active defense mechanism.

Answer:

  1. B. positive reinforcement
  2. B. the fact that many unconscious thoughts are of a threatening, sexual, or aggressive nature.
