Final answer:
The statement regarding neurotics in Horney's view is false; neurotics may develop coping strategies that result in self-blame or alienation but do not typically look for problems in others and blame themselves for it.
Step-by-step explanation:
Neurotics, according to Horney, do not typically look for problems in other people and blame themselves for it; instead, they may use neurotic coping strategies that cause alienation from others.
Horney identified three neurotic coping strategies: moving toward people (affiliation and dependence), moving against people (aggression and assertiveness), and moving away from people (detachment and isolation). Each style could become a neurotic strategy if used rigidly and compulsively. If anything, neurotics may blame themselves or engage in behaviors that ultimately distance them from others due to their basic anxiety.
For example, Jane's belief that she received a bad grade due to her professor's personal dislike is indicative of an external locus of control, not necessarily a neurotic tendency to blame oneself. Also, the Eysencks' theory suggests that those high in neuroticism are emotionally unstable, not that they erroneously blame themselves for issues caused by others.
