Answer to Question 1

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: Incongruence is defined as the discrepancy between a person's self-concept and aspects of his or her experience. We learn to evaluate experiences, and to accept or reject them, not in terms of how they contribute to our overall actualization tendency, but in terms of whether they bring positive regard from others.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
FEEDBACK: A study of adolescents found that when their mothers used conditional positive self-regard to reward them for academic achievement, and punish them for non-achievement, their feelings of self-worth became erratic. When they got good grades, for example, they behaved in self-aggrandizing ways. But when they did not get good grades, they felt shame and tend to downplay or devalue their sense of self-worth (Assor & Tai, 2012).
