Freud believed that unconscious events had a profound influence on behavior. What did he believe caused these unconscious events?

Childhood experiences
Cultural factors
Unconscious desires
Environmental influences

The correct answer is: Childhood experiences

Freud believed that childhood experiences were the main cause of unconscious events. He believed that repressed memories and unresolved conflicts from childhood were the root of unconscious desires, which then influenced behavior. Therefore, options B, C, and D are not correct as they do not align with Freud's belief that childhood experiences were the primary cause.
