Carl Rogers was a humanistic psychologist who [Man clutching a pen to Carl Rogers]
- 00:32
believe that every person could achieve their goals wishes and desires in life
- 00:35
and when they did so self actualization would take place in other words they
- 00:41
would achieve their ideal self and if your ideal self sits fully clothed in
- 00:46
the bathtub and eats ice cream out the carton well more power to you [Girl eating ice cream in bath tub]
- 00:49
actually I can relate to that yeah so could the correct answer be A - people
- 00:55
choose certain mates based on the ability of that mate to reproduce no
- 01:00
Rodgers probably wouldn't agree with this one
- 01:03
In his theory humans make choices to enhance their life experience and reach
- 01:07
self-actualization choosing a mate based solely on reproductive ability might [Man and woman holding babies]
- 01:11
lead to plenty of interesting things but probably not
- 01:16
self-actualization so let's cross off A... would Carl Rogers agree with C - fame
- 01:21
and glory drive confidence, while fame and glory while tempting to chase generally
- 01:26
don't fulfill us or lead to the ideal self in fact chasing after fame and
- 01:31
glory might lead us down the opposite path think Kardashians or any of the [Kim Kardashian appears]
- 01:35
Real Housewives how many of those stars look like they've reached their ideal
- 01:39
state of being yeah that's what we thought let's go ahead and get rid of C.
- 01:43
What about D - sensation seekers have high arousal thresholds doesn't seem
- 01:49
like a fit well arousal theory does not equal Carl Rogers psychology, totally
- 01:54
different subject it's like the guy wearing Tapout shirts, yeah you can spot [People in the street and man with tapout shirt appears]
- 01:59
it immediately and you know you want nothing to do with him...
- 02:02
alright let's ditch D so maybe E - biology alone determine success
- 02:07
well Rodgers believed that humans would flourish if they were given the right
- 02:11
environment like a flower in good soil unfortunately being born with the best [Flower appears in the forest]
- 02:15
biology doesn't mean you're going to be planted in the best soil ya dig? Anyway
- 02:20
Rodgers believed that environment was hugely important to success not just
- 02:23
biology so throw out E - That leaves us with B - people strive to be their best
- 02:27
which motivates behavior Carl Rogers believed that people were always working [Lego figure pushing a golf ball]
- 02:32
toward self-actualization or being the best they could be so it makes sense
- 02:35
that he would support this statement and B is the correct answer when thinking
- 02:39
about self-actualization just imagine a training montage in the sports movie [Person hitting punch bag]
- 02:43
someone wants to be the best in the world and then five minutes later boom
- 02:47
they are it's that easy everyone you know watch the Michael Phelps ad for [Man falls over in gym]
- 02:52
underarmor....
