Studdy Solution
STEP 1
Assumptions1. The problem is a multiple-choice question related to psychology.
. The question asks for the idea that most closely resembles the scenario where two ancient cultures on different sides of the world had similar stories and rituals even though they never interacted.
3. The options are neurotic needs, trait theory, collective unconscious, self-actualization.
STEP 2
We need to understand the meaning of each option to determine which one best fits the scenario.
STEP 3
Neurotic needs refer to irrational desires that people feel compelled to satisfy in order to avoid feelings of panic and dread. This doesn't seem to fit the scenario.
STEP 4
Trait theory is a psychological framework that posits that people's personalities can be understood by identifying their significant personality traits. This also doesn't seem to fit the scenario.
STEP 5
Collective unconscious refers to the idea, proposed by Carl Jung, that all humans share a set of primal, unconscious images and ideas that are inherited from our ancestors and expressed in myths, religion, dreams, and other symbolic forms. This seems to fit the scenario.
STEP 6
Self-actualization refers to the process of realizing and fulfilling one's potential and is the highest level of psychological development and the expression of one's unique capabilities. This doesn't seem to fit the scenario.
STEP 7
Based on the definitions of the options, the scenario most closely resembles the idea of the collective unconscious.
The answer is "collective unconscious".
