Answer to Question 1

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: There is some evidence to support Rogers's concept of the organismic valuing process. Studies have also suggested that positive self-regard may not be as prevalent in a collectivist culture such as Japan as it is in a more individualistic culture such as the United States.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: T
FEEDBACK: Much of Rogers's research used the Q-sort technique, a procedure developed by William Stephenson. In this technique, clients sort a large number of statements about the self-concept into categories that range from most descriptive to least descriptive. Thus, the Q sort is a way of empirically defining the client's self-image.
