Question

Your 15-year-old cousin exaggerates his performance in nearly every story that he tells. he claims to be a better athlete than he is, a better musician than he is, and much more popular than he actually is. to what type of self is he referring?

Answer 1

The answer is "Ideal self".

Carl Rogers proposed that self-actualization can be achieved for someone when that individual should be in a state of congruence which means that this happens when someone’s ideal self (the one a person wants to be), is congruent with his behavior.
