Condition Of Worth

Deutsch: Bedingte Wertschätzung / Español: Condición de Valor / Português: Condição de Valor / Français: Condition de Valeur / Italiano: Condizione di Valore

The concept of Condition Of Worth is a fundamental principle in humanistic psychology, particularly within the framework of Carl Rogers' person-centered theory. It describes the internalized standards or expectations that individuals adopt based on external evaluations, often leading to a disconnect between their true self and the self they present to gain approval. This phenomenon plays a critical role in the development of personality, self-esteem, and psychological well-being, as it influences how people perceive their own value and behave in social contexts.

It is a type of acceptance and love that is given under certain conditions or standards. This contrasts with unconditional positive regard, a term Rogers coined to describe acceptance and love that is given freely, without conditions or judgments. Conditional positive regard suggests that acceptance and affection from significant others (such as parents, friends, or teachers) are contingent upon the individual behaving in ways that those significant others find acceptable or desirable.
