- (D) According to humanistic psychologists, psychological disorders are most likely caused by
unfilled needs. Humanistic psychologists believe that people are naturally good and that as long as
their needs are met, they will develop into healthy individuals. However, if their needs (physical,
emotional, etc.) are not met, psychological disturbances may result. Psychologists adhering to the
biological perspective would be most likely to name neurochemical imbalances as the cause of
psychological disorders. An unhealthy attributional style is a cognitive explanation. The phrase
“learned associations” implies a behaviorist perspective, and the phrase “genetic predispositions”
suggests an evolutionary approach.
