Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Rogers found that psychologically healthy people have a smaller discrepancy between their self-concept and their ideal self. This means that their self-concept is more aligned with their ideal self, which is a sign of positive mental health. Option B is incorrect because paranoid schizophrenic patients typically have a distorted sense of self and reality. Options C and D are incorrect because the relationship between real self and ideal self can vary depending on the individual, and there is no inherent ranking or comparison between the two.
