Question

question 50
how can parents help their children achieve high congruence?
a forcing them to be independent from a nearly age
pointing out their mistakes so that they learn not to repeat them
b 28 ______ describes a proportion of difference among people that is attributed to genetics
a heritability
b. personality
c temperament
d. trait
c giving them unconditional positive regard
d not allowing them to use their defense mechanisms

Explanation:

In psychology, congruence refers to the alignment between a person's self - concept and their experiences. Unconditional positive regard, as proposed by Carl Rogers, is a key concept. When parents give children unconditional positive regard (accepting them for who they are without conditions), it helps children develop a positive self - concept. Forcing independence (A) can be harmful as children need support at appropriate times. Pointing out mistakes constantly (implied negative evaluation) can damage self - concept. Defense mechanisms (D) are normal psychological processes and not something to be completely restricted. Heritability (from the second question part) is related to the proportion of differences due to genetics, but that is a separate concept.

Answer:

C. giving them unconditional positive regard
