Identify which approach/perspective in psychology (humanist, psychodynamic, behaviorist, biological, cognitive social learning/observational learning) each of the following set of comments represents. Use each perspective only once.

1. The perseverance of Lynne's mother is the significant determinant in this case. This taught Lynne that marriage was for better or for worse, but also that silence produces suffering. Lynne's pattern was acquired from an important role model.

2. Lynne's marriage to and anger with an alcoholic suggests many unresolved feelings toward her father. Her marriage to an alcoholic suggests her ongoing attachment to her father and the effort to resolve her issues with him. Her anger most likely is unresolved anger at her father. Her reluctance to leave reflects her desire to stay united with her father.

3. Lynne is struggling with her choices. While marriage is important to her, she realizes that her husband's alcoholism is a source of despair. She is struggling with her values, principles, desires for growth and fulfillment and how they should influence her choices.

4. Lynne must be getting some kind of benefit from the relationship or she would not continue in it.

5. It appears as if Lynne is too nice for her own good. She appears to have a very easy-going temperament and that's probably why she can continue to put up with the problems in her marriage.
