Adler and Horney believed that social tensions, such as the need for approval, the fear of rejection, and the striving for superiority, played a crucial role in shaping personality in childhood. They believed that the way a child experienced and coped with these social tensions influenced their adult personality and behavior. They did not give as much weight to Freud's ideas about sexual and aggressive tensions in personality development. Similarly, they did not focus on temperamental factors such as innate personality traits, which were emphasized in other theories such as trait theory.
