"Social attitude is barometer of psychological health" is propounded by .................... .
Answer: B
The idea comes from Adler.
Alfred Adler, founder of individual psychology, held that social interest (Gemeinschaftsgefuehl), a person's feeling of belonging and concern for others, is the barometer or measure of psychological health. Well-adjusted people direct their striving towards the welfare of the community, while neurotic people pursue purely personal superiority.
Allport is known for trait theory and the concept of the mature personality, Freud for psychoanalysis and the id, ego and superego, and Eysenck for the dimensions of extraversion and neuroticism. None of them made social attitude the test of mental health.
