Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carl Rogers believed that people's self-concept is negatively affected when they receive conditions of worth, which are requirements that they must meet in order to feel valued and loved by others. This is in contrast to unconditional positive regard, which is the acceptance and support of individuals without any requirements or judgments placed on them. Therefore, the answer is not B, as Rogers believed that unconditional esteem should be given to individuals.
