Question

what is the difference between psychoanalysis and psychophysics?
○ psychoanalysis attempts to resolve conflict.
○ psychoanalysis uses introspection and psychophysics doesnt.
○ psychophysics studies the five senses and their reaction to stimuli.
○ both b and c

Explanation:

• Option A: Psychoanalysis does aim to resolve internal conflicts, but this alone doesn't fully distinguish it from psychophysics.
• Option B: Psychoanalysis (in some of its historical contexts) used introspection, while psychophysics focuses on the relationship between physical stimuli and sensory responses and does not rely on introspection.
• Option C: Psychophysics is the study of the relationship between physical stimuli (related to the five senses) and the sensory/perceptual responses, so it studies how the five senses react to stimuli.
• Option D: Since both B and C are correct descriptions of the differences between psychoanalysis and psychophysics, this option is valid.

Answer:

D. both B and C
