Questions: Question 45 (2 points) Listen Humanistic theorists have been criticized for: overestimating the impact of childhood experiences on adult personality. underestimating the inconsistency of behavior from one situation to another. overestimating the degree of similarity among people. underestimating the inherent human capacity for destructive and evil behaviors.

The answer is underestimating the inherent human capacity for destructive and evil behaviors.

Humanistic theorists, such as Carl Rogers and Abraham Maslow, focus more on the present and future potential of individuals rather than past experiences. This criticism is more commonly associated with psychoanalytic theories, which emphasize the impact of childhood experiences.

Humanistic theories emphasize personal growth and self-actualization, focusing on the individual's subjective experience. They do not typically address behavioral inconsistencies across different situations, which is more of a focus in social-cognitive theories.

Humanistic theories actually emphasize individual differences and the unique potential of each person. They focus on personal growth and self-actualization, which inherently acknowledges individual variability.

Humanistic theorists have been criticized for their optimistic view of human nature, often focusing on positive growth and potential while neglecting the darker aspects of human behavior. This criticism points to their tendency to underestimate the capacity for destructive and evil behaviors.
