Question

According to your textbook, people are motivated to maintain a(n) __________ view of the self. accurate positive creative consistent

Answer 1

I believe the answer is: Consistent.
When people already determine the view that they have about themselves, they would most likely treat any critize or new information about their character as a challenge and often make justification for our own flaw.
Due this unlikeliness to change, the view ofte remained consistent throughout the years.
