Answer: B - Humanism is a theory of personality that emphasizes free will and human agency in directing personal behavior. Humanism is a theory of personality that came about to account for the role of free will in how people behave. Unlike theories such as psychoanalysis which emphasize unconscious motives and desires, humanism considers human beings active and present agents in their own behavior. For example, the need to pursue professional success is understood in humanism as just that, a need for the person to succeed. Other theories may emphasize the role of parental instruction and influence or hidden desires.
