AP Psychology
Unit 7 – Motivation, Emotion, and Personality
Topic 7.8
How does congruence between real self and ideal self affect an individual's mental health according to Carl Rogers' humanistic theory?
Greater congruence worsens mental health due unrealistic expectations set by ideal self.
Congruence has no effect on mental health but affects societal interactions only.
The real self always tries overpowering the ideal self leading to constant inner conflict irrespective of congruence level.
Greater congruence leads to better mental health due to reduced conflict within oneself.
