Answer 1

Answer:

the actual self and the ideal self.                                  

Explanation:

Carl Rogers, who was one of the most famous humanistic psychologists states that an individual's personality is composed of two different types of self i.e, the ideal self and the real or actual self.

Actual self: The term actual self is defined as the process of representing the attributes that an individual believes he or she possesses or carries. It signifies an individual's basic self-concept and therefore it is considered as his or her perception of own attribute, for example, attractiveness, intelligence, etc.

Ideal self: The term ideal self is defined as an individual's idealized form of himself or herself that is being developed through what the person has learned from his or her admiration of role models, life experiences, and demand of the society he or she lived in.
