Answer 1

• The activity of mixing social people with one another. It is also known for processing and learning to behave in a way that is acceptable to society.;the process whereby an individual learns to adjust to a group (or society) and behave in a manner approved by the group (or society).
• Ego psychology is psychoanalysis that has instigated from the Sigmund Freud's ego id superego model.The basis of the ego psychology revolves around the point that healthy ego is independent of any mental divergence and is inclusive of autonomous ego functions like reality-testing and memory, it should be functioning without any interruption of any emotional conflict.
• biological differences between men and women;Perhaps the most important contribution Karen Horney made to psychodynamic thought was her disagreements with Freud’s view of women.She also disagreed with Freud’s belief that males and females were born with inherent differences in their personality. Rather than citing biological differences, she argued for a societal and cultural explanation.
  
• Biological domain;The core assumption within the biological domain is that humans are, first and fore most, collections of biological systems, and these systems provide the building blocks for behavior , thought, and emotion.
