Phenomenological Concepts
In this course the journal will be used for reflection. Journal activities in this course are private between you and the instructor. A course journal in Blackboard is generally made up of many individual entries.
For this journal task, first use your assigned textbook readings (Chapter 5 and sections of Chapter 6) to guide your reflection on Carl Rogers's principle of self concept.
Applying this phenomenological concept to yourself, address the following in a 300- to 400-word journal entry:
How much congruence do you think there is between your actual, ideal, and ought selves? How does this affect how you think, feel, and act?
Briefly summarize your thoughts on Rogers's major concepts of the self, self-actualization, and unconditional positive regard.
What research design(s) did Rogers use in his studies?
Do you think Rogers conducted his research ethically? Why or why not?
