A client of yours tells you that he is worried that he will not be able to find a job. You say, "I know you can do it—you have all the qualities you need to do this." This is an example of what type of response?

Answer:

Encouragement response

Step-by-step explanation:

In psychology, an encouragement response takes place when you help someone by offering positive words of support and approval. In other words, we infuse courage to another person to reach a goal.

In this example your client is worried that he will not be able to find a job, you say "I know you can do it", you are infusing him courage to believe he has the qualities needed for that job and are offering him support. Thus, this is an example of encouragement response.
