Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-actualization is about achieving one's highest potential and becoming the best version of oneself, despite any obstacles or challenges. This process involves self-discovery, personal growth, and fulfilling individual potential. It is not about simply accepting dysfunctions, but rather striving to overcome them and grow as individuals. Option A is incorrect because self-actualization is not about conditioned responses but rather individual growth and potential. Option B is partially correct but lacks the emphasis on personal growth and potential. Option D is incorrect because accepting dysfunctions without any effort to improve or grow is not the aim of self-actualization.
