Calvin has disowned that part of himself that controls anger. His sudden outbursts and bad temperament are a natural part of Calvin’s neural network. He found love with Rebecca who, unlike him, displays no anger. She rarely gets upset and does not ever raise her voice. This theory of opposites attract is described as:
  1. Relationship conflict
  2. Separation anxiety
  3. Polarization
  4. Compulsive behavior disorder
Explanation
Answer - C - Polarization is the conscious want of something one is incapable of having. This is a sign of disowning parts of neural networks causing internal conflicts between the conscious and subconscious. An example may be an individual who does not have the ability to express love. He or she will seek out someone that can compensate in this area for them.
