Answer:

c) validity

Explanation:

Validity: In psychology, the term validity refers to the tendency of a test to measure what the test is supposed or claims to measure. It is the judgement which is based on different types of evidence.

In other words, it is the extent to which a particular conclusion, concept, or measurement is well-defined and responds accurately or precisely in the real world.

The validity of an experiment can be increased by improving measurement techniques, controlling different variables, adding placebo or control groups, etc.

In the question above, Gunter's statement is equivalent to saying that the WAIS lacks the validity.

Answer:  

generativity; stagnation                                    

Explanation:

Generativity versus stagnation: In psychology, the term generativity vs. stagnation is one of the stages in the psychosocial development that was developed by Erik Erikson and is the seventh stage in the theory. The stage starts from the forty years of age in an individual's life and lasts through sixty-five years, this is considered to as the middle adulthood period.

Generativity: It refers to the process of making a mark by nurturing or creating things that will outlive an individual.

Stagnation: It refers to the process through which an individual redirects his or her energies into meaningful activities.

In the question above, Rob is probably facing the psychosocial conflict of generativity and is likely to develop stagnation.
