Charise and Noreen were having a conversation about men. "You know," Noreen said, "I think my husband tries to annoy me! Even though he tries to do what I ask, I think that subconsciously he really enjoys ticking me off to see the reactions he'll get. Freud must have been right!"Charise, who has just studied personality psychology in school, corrects Noreen by saying which of the following? a. "You're probably right, Noreen. Freud was really into subconscious motives." b. "Freud's theory has absolutely no validity in the modern times, Noreen. Stop analyzing your husband!" c. "Freud really didn't address the psychological functioning of men, Noreen, only women." d. "Freud's focus on the cognitive functioning of men would not support your theory, Noreen." e. "Well, Noreen, there really is no 'subconscious' in Freud's theory!"
