Carl Rogers believed that the human organism has an underlying actualizing tendency which aims to develop in ways that maintain or enhance the organism and move it toward a certain dependency. The actualizing tendency is positive, indicator and present in all living things. It involves not only the tendency to meet what Maslow’s basic needs that is air, food, water but also more generalized activities. The thought of this tendency is the reason the theory holds all creative motivations as well as pleasure seeking tendencies. Each individual has a fundamental instruction to fulfill their potential.

Self-concept has three major qualities which are: it is learned, it is organized, and it is dynamic. Self-concept is learned in that it begins in the early months of life which is shaped and reshaped through repeated perceived experiences, particularly with significant others. Most researchers agree that self-concept has a generally stable quality that is characterized by some sort of orderliness. Each person maintains countless views about their existence and each view is arranged with all the others. These views are generally organised and stable qualities of self-concept that gives consistency to one’s personality and have consequences. Self-concept is dynamic in that helps to imagine a continuously active system that dependably points to the true north of an individual’s viewed existence. “This guidance system not only shapes the ways a person views oneself, others, and the world, but it also serves to direct action and enables each person to take a consistent "stance" in life”.
Carl Rogers believed that self-concept has three different components namely self-image (the view that one would have of themselves). Self-image In general self-experiences are the raw material of which the organized self-concept is formed. One’s self-image is affected by those around them parental influences, friends and …show more content…
A person’s ideal self may not be consistent with what actually happens in life and experiences of the person. Hence, a difference may exist between a person’s ideal self and actual experience. This is called incongruence. Where a person’s ideal self and actual experience are consistent or very similar, a state of congruence exists The closer our self-image and ideal-self are to each other, the more consistent or congruent we are and the higher our sense of self-worth. An individual is said to be in a state of incongruence if some of their experience is unacceptable to them and is denied in the self-image. Incongruence is that inconsistency between the actual experience and the self-image of the
