Four-year-old brooke throws a tantrum when her parents want to leave the playground and go home. instead of punishing her, brooke's parents patiently and lovingly try to teach brooke a more acceptable way of coping with disappointment and frustration. using carl rogers's terminology, brooke is experiencing a high degree of _____ from her parents.

Answer 1

It is either unconditional positive regard or conditional positive regard, in my opinion. To determine the answer for yourself, I will give you the definitions:

Unconditional positive regard is when someone is accepted for who they are by significant others, peers, and family members. If the individual does something wrong or makes a mistake, positive regard will not be taken away because of so.

Conditional positive regard is when someone is given positive regard and praise and acceptance is determined by the child. For example, the individual must behave the way their parents or loved ones expect them to. Therefore, if the individual does not follow this behavior, they will not be loved for who they are unless they follow the expectations of their parents and loved ones.
