Answer 1

Answer:

THE CORRECT ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ABOVE IS "CONDITIONS OF WORTH" (OPTION B)

Explanation:

CONDITIONS OF WORTH best suites the answer among the other options because Derek was trying to meet some conditions the Dad set. Obviously, the son couldn't meet the condition. This describes how CONDITIONS OF WORTH gives people this mentality that there is a standard they must attain in other for them to be loved or accepted. Those that suffer from this condition tend to see that they have to meet certain rules as required of them. In other words, people who are classes above others use CONDITIONS OF WORTH as standard behavior for others to follow if they are to be loved. From the question above, CONDITIONS OF WORTH had a negative impact because DEREK couldn't please his DAD, as the DAD expects him to play in certain way which DEREK couldn't. This act could result to trauma, feeling of rejection, if not well managed.

While from the other options, LOW SELF ESTEEM has to do with perception, belief about one's self-worth usually caused by so many factors example are: trauma, rejection.

LOW SELF ESTEEM leaves the victim with a bad state of mind and overall affects the esteem of the individual.
