Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Conditional positive regard occurs when an individual’s self-worth is dependent on meeting certain conditions or expectations of others. This may cause them to lose touch with their true or real self and instead focus on meeting these external expectations. As a result, they may struggle to fully develop or express their unique personality traits and may experience challenges in forming genuine connections with others due to fear of rejection. However, they may still maintain their ideal self (the person they aspire to be) and social self (how they present themselves to others).
