June overhears a professor who objects to survey research saying, "surveys just skim the surface. So much of thought and behavior is unconscious, and therefore unavailable for accurate self-report." june thinks to herself that the professor has been strongly influenced by the _____ perspective in psychology.

Answer 1

He has been strongly influenced by the "psychoanalytic" perspective in psychology.

Psychoanalytic analysts see psychological issues as established in the unconscious personality. Sigmund Freud accentuated the significance of the unconscious personality, and an essential supposition of Freudian hypothesis is that the unconscious personality oversees conduct to a more noteworthy degree than individuals suspect. Without a doubt, the objective of psychoanalysis is to make the unconscious conscious.
