Rogers viewed man as positive when he develops in which type of environment?

• A. Warm, accepting, and trusting environment
• B. Hostile environment
• C. Chaotic environment
• D. Unpredictable environment

Answer: (A)

Rogers believed that people grow best when they are in a climate that provides unconditional positive regard—warmth, acceptance, and trust. In such an environment, individuals feel safe to explore their true experiences, reduce defensive postures, and move toward self-actualization. A hostile, chaotic, or unpredictable setting erodes safety and trust, triggering defensiveness and confusion, which blocks healthy personal growth.
