Carl Rogers believed that this was due to the fact that children are optimistic by nature and - if
they receive unconditional positive regard and have a strong self - worth - they know that anything is possible.
So, a child who
received unconditional positive regard will tend have a high self - worth, while a child who received conditional positive regard will tend have a low self - worth.
People who are able to self - actualize are more likely to have
received unconditional positive regard from others, especially their parents in childhood.
