Actualizing tendency
single basic motivating drive
Organismic Valuing
central to notion of true or unique self, weighing of experiences and placing value based on ability to satisfy organism
the organismic valuing is based on the
individual’s phenomenal field, subjective experience/frame of reference
the organismic valuing is efficient and soundly based in infancy
and experiences that maintain actualization is preferred
according to humanism,
we are experts on ourselves
non conscious organismic functioning is right below the process of
awareness
self/self concept is constructed based on
qualities you perceive yourself to have, ideal self, relationships perceived between self and others, values attached to characteristics, I myself me
flexibility of self concept
is shaped by socialization
conditions of worth
need for positive regard, which can be unconditional or conditional, valued for who you are no matter what you do instead of valued for doing what others want you to do
rely on conditional regard leads to
introject conditions of worth, as a secondary valuing process where you lose touch with organismic valuing, which leads to develop conditional positive self regard
the conditions of worth overlaps with
Freudian notion of super ego
having unconditional self regard leads to being
fully functioning
having a conditional self regard leads to having a
maladjusted state
