Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Rogers, maladjustment arises when there is a discrepancy between the organismic self (the true, authentic self) and the perceived self (the self that the person believes they should be). This discrepancy can lead to feelings of anxiety, guilt, and dissatisfaction with life. Therefore, option B is the correct choice. Sexual experiences, low expectations of success, approach-avoidance conflicts, and insecurity may contribute to maladjustment, but they are not the basic ingredient according to Rogers.
