Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is A) externalism, internal. Your textbook, which places psychology within larger social and historical patterns, exemplifies externalism, as it considers external factors and contexts in the development of psychology. In contrast, book X, which focuses on "The Great Men of Psychology," represents an internal perspective, focusing on the internal developments and ideas within the field itself, without necessarily considering the broader context.
