Phenomenological Concepts For this journal task, first use your assigned textbook readings (Chapter 5 and 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 assignment:

 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? Guidelines for Submission: Submit the assignment as a Word document with double spacing, 12-point Times New Roman font, and one-inch margins. Use examples from the textbook readings and your other research to support your thoughts. Refer to the Purdue OWL website for guidance on proper APA formatting of sources.
