What aspect of Freud's theories did Horney believe were subject to cultural influence?

  • Death drive

  • Libido

  • Transference

  • Gender differences

Answer

Horney suggested that gender differences, which Freud emphasized as biologically based, were largely subject to cultural influence. She argued that societal expectations and experiences shape individuals' personalities, behaviors, and roles, and that the differences observed between men and women are primarily a result of social conditioning rather than inherent biological factors.
