AP Psychology
Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.6
What contention could be raised about Alfred Adler's inferiority complex concept within his individual psychology theory?
Only those with clinical disorders experience feelings of inferiority.
Inferiority complex is redundant and overlaps with other psychological constructs such as low self-esteem.
An individual’s drive for superiority may stem from inherent ambition or competitiveness rather than feelings of inferiority.
Adler's emphasis on birth order does not have substantial empirical support in shaping personality.
