which of the following was one of alfred adler’s main contributions to personality theory?

One of Alfred Adler’s main contributions to personality theory is his emphasis on social interest and the role of social factors in shaping personality, particularly through the concept of striving for superiority and the idea that feelings of inferiority motivate individuals to compensate in socially meaningful ways. He also introduced the idea that birth order can influence personality development and highlighted the importance of a holistic, teleological view of personality that integrates conscious goals with social context. Finally, Adler’s framework shifted focus from purely intrapsychic (Freudian) drives to a more community- and lifestyle-centered approach, giving rise to what is now called individual psychology.
