Arjean's opinions are so dependent on what her friends think that she will swallow just about anything they tell her. Freud would have suggested that Arjean demonstrates a

A) fixation.
B) free association.
C) reaction formation.
D) collective unconscious.

Freud would likely suggest that Arjean demonstrates a fixation because her behavior indicates an inability to develop beyond the dependency characteristic of an earlier psychosexual stage, leading her to overly rely on others' opinions. Free association is a therapeutic technique, reaction formation is a defense mechanism where an individual behaves in a way opposite to their true feelings, and collective unconscious is a concept from Jungian psychology, not Freudian.
