the self
actualizing tendency
organism’s biological drive fulfill inherent potentialities
e.g. sherpa feels they want to go in mountain because of genetics
organism’s biological drive fulfill inherent potentialities
actualizing tendency
e.g. sherpa feels they want to go in mountain because of genetics
self-actualizing tendency
pressure to develop, behave and experience consistently with self
pressure to develop, behave and experience consistently with self
self-actualizing tendency
organismic valuing process (OVP)
process that determines whether experience facilitates or thwarts the actualizing tendency
e.g. sherpa lives on farm
process that determines whether experience facilitates or thwarts the actualizing tendency
organismic valuing process (OVP)
e.g. sherpa lives on farm
need for positive regard
learned need to receive approval, nurturance, attention and acceptance from others
learned need to receive approval, nurturance, attention and acceptance from others
need for positive regard
conditions of worth
those things that elicit positive regard from others
e.g. sherpa going to church by the farm is a condition of worth
those things that elicit positive regard from others
conditions of worth
e.g. sherpa going to church by the farm is a condition of worth
need for positive self-regard
internalized need for self acceptance and approval
learned need to feel proud of oneself based on the experiences of receiving positive regard from others
internalized need for self acceptance and approval
need for positive self-regard
conditioned positive self-regard
learned tendency to value in ourselves only those things that meet internalized conditions of worth
e.g. sherpa feels proud of themselves only the extent that church was attended and farming happened
learned tendency to value in ourselves only those things that meet internalized conditions of worth
conditioned positive self-regard
e.g. sherpa feels proud of themselves only the extent that church was attended and farming happened
how things get screwed up
person receives too much conditioned positive regard from significant others
from this, experiences that are incongruent with the self based on conditions of worth not admitted to self-structure
and the self-actualizing tendency becomes incongruent with actualizing tendency because conditions of wroth become incongruent with OVP
as such, development does not proceed along the lines dictated by OVP
incongruence as a source of anxiety, threat, and psychopathology
incongruence between self structure and experience subceived by the OVP
e.g. sherpa might sense organismic way that no matter how hard they try to make it big on the farm, this life doesn’t feel right
subception of incongruence triggers anxiety
anxiety triggers the defensive process
defenses reduce anxiety and restore the unitary self by restoring perception of congruity
