Question

Christina’s parents are very strict about her academic performance. When she performs well, they shower her with love; when she does poorly, they are unfriendly and distant.

In the context of Rogers’s humanistic psychology approach, Christina’s parents are demonstrating ________ for Christina.a. unconditional positive regard

b. conditions of worth
c. altruism
d. repression

Answer 1

Christina's parents are demonstrating b. conditions of worth.

Step-by-step explanation:

Conditions of worth are also called conditional positive regard. Christina's parents only show love for her when she performs well academically. That has led Christina to make an effort to perform well only because her self-regard has becomes associated with the regard of her parents. She will only feel deserving of their love if she accomplishes what seems to be the condition for them to love her.
