Mitwelt is the ______ world.

• A. the Umwelt world
• B. the Mitwelt world
• C. the Eigenwelt world
• D. the Supwelt world

Answer: (B)

This item tests understanding of Jung’s idea of different worlds that describe aspects of our experience. The Mitwelt is the social world—the realm of other people, our relationships, and how we’re shaped by interactions with others. In contrast, Umwelt is the physical environment we inhabit, and Eigenwelt is our inner sense of self. There’s also a broader cultural layer sometimes called Uberwelt or Supwelt, which covers shared values and ideals. So the Mitwelt is the social world.
