what are the two basic human tendencies according to rogers
formative tendencies
actualizing tendency
tendency for all matter, both organic and inorganic, to evolve
from simpler to more complex forms. For example, complex organisms develop from
single cells; and human consciousness evolves from a primitive unconsciousness to a
highly organized awareness
formative tendency
tendency within all humans (and other animals and plants) to
move toward completion or fulfillment of potentials. Because each person operates as
one complete organism, actualization involves the whole person—physiological and
intellectual, rational and emotional, conscious and unconscious
actualizing tendency
is a subset of the actualization tendency and is not the same. The
actualization tendency refers to organismic experiences of the individual; on the other
hand, self-actualization is the tendency to actualize the self as perceived in awareness
self actualization
what are the two needs according to rogers
maintenance
enhancement
similar to the lower steps on Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, includes such basic needs as food, air and safety
maintenance
need to become more, to develop and to achieve growth. These are seen
in people’s willingness to learn things that are not immediately rewarding, such as
curiosity, playfulness, self-exploration, friendship, and confidence
enhancement
begins when infants develop when a portion of their experience becomes personalized
and discerned in awareness as “I” or “me” experiences.
