Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Both the degree of discrepancy (between perceived and desired competence) and social support are important factors influencing self-worth. While gender can also influence self-worth, there is no information provided in the question to suggest that this is the most important factor or that it would necessarily lead to a lower sense of self-worth for Clara. Therefore, it is not appropriate to select option A. Option C is incorrect because it assumes that the level of discrepancy is the only important factor, ignoring the potential impact of social support. Option D is incorrect because while it may be difficult to predict an individual's level of self-worth with certainty, we can make informed predictions based on relevant information, such as the degree of discrepancy and social support in this case.
