sallys dad is demonstrating an external locus of control.

sallys dad is demonstrating a condition of worth.

sallys dad is demonstrating unconditional positive regard.

sallys dad is demonstrating congruence.

Explanation:

• External locus of control refers to believing outcomes are controlled by external factors, which doesn't match the dad's supportive, loving response.
• Condition of worth involves valuing someone based on conditions, but the dad's love isn't conditional here.
• Unconditional positive regard is accepting and supporting someone regardless of their actions, which fits the dad's statement (loving and supporting Sally despite her situation).
• Congruence is about alignment between self - concept and experience, not relevant here.

Answer:

Sally's dad is demonstrating unconditional positive regard.
