    Question 1:
    I’m not completely sure about this one but I think your instinct was right in going with just A.

    Question 2. Freud’s theories focus on the pleasure principle. It confuses me the way they worded it with "organ pleasure," but when it comes down to it that is essentially what it is… (the only thing I’m worried about is it being a trick answer but pleasure is the principle). Try looking here more specifically…I would but I’m at work and it’s a few pages long. :)

    Question 3:
    E is correct…definitely has to do with how environment affects change based on its conditions.

    ok . heres what i got (i am currently studying psychology so im pretty sure) =]

    1. is A, because from the theories of the structure of the three personalities (the id, ego and superego) which is partially ruled by the pleasure and reality principle. D cannot be the answer because fluidity and tension are not part of the the theory of the unconscious (never read about it when I studied Freud)

    2. I think that the answer is A because even though much of his theory surrounded organ pleasure, it was all under sexuality identity; that is regarding the Oedipus Complex when the child must identify the agressor and become his own sex.

    3. I also think the answer is B, i have not read anything on Bandura that spoke about interaction with the environment and cognitive evaluations or how they can effectuate changes.

    i hope i helpedd a bit =]
    goood luckk !!
