Explanation:

Structuralism focuses on breaking down conscious experiences into basic components, often using introspection (asking participants to describe their thoughts/feelings about sensory stimuli) as a method. Psychoanalysis centers on unconscious processes, humanism on self-actualization, behaviorism on observable behavior, and functionalism on the purpose of mental processes. The scenario matches structuralism's core method.
