According to which theory, humans are driven by inborn instincts of which they are largely unconscious ?

  • A.Psychoanalytical theory
  • B.Psychosocial theory
  • C.Cognitive development theory
  • D.Learning theory

Answer: A

This is psychoanalytical theory.

Sigmund Freud held that behaviour is driven by inborn instincts, chiefly sexual and aggressive drives of the id, and that people are largely unaware of these forces because they operate in the unconscious mind. Development passes through psychosexual stages shaped by how these drives are met.

Erikson's psychosocial theory stresses social and cultural influences over the life span, Piaget's cognitive development theory concerns how thinking develops, and learning theory explains behaviour as learned from the environment rather than driven by instincts.
