Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
FEEDBACK: Rogers proposed one single, innate, overriding motivation: the inborn tendency to actualize, to develop our abilities and potentials to the fullest. This ultimate goal is to actualize the self, to become what Rogers called a fully functioning person.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: B
FEEDBACK: Rogers believed that we are rational beings ruled by a conscious perception of our selves and our experiential world. He gave very little importance to unconscious forces or other Freudian explanations.
