Formation of the humanistic perspective resulted because the psychodynamic and behavioral perspectives received positive support within the field of psychology. true or false.

The statement is false. The humanistic perspective was not a result of the psychodynamic and behavioral perspectives recieving positive support within the field of psychology.

In fact, the humanistic perspective developed as a reaction to both the psychodynamic and behavioral perspectives, which were dominant in the field of psychology during the first decades of the past century. The critics of these perspectives thought that they were too deterministic, the psychodynamic perspective was focused on the unconscious motivations of behavior and the behavioral perspective, on its conditioning process; both of them left aside human agency.

Therefore, the humanistic perspective emerged as an alternative, highlighting  concepts such as free will and self-efficacy, when studying human behaviour.
