In the course of development, most children learn that their worth is conditional on good behavior, moral or religious standards, academic or athletic performance, or undecipherable factors they can only guess at. In the most severe cases, the child’s subjective reality is
so consistently denied as having any importance to others that the child doubts the validity of his or her own perceptions and experiences. Rogers describes this process as “acquiring conditions of worth” and the resulting self as “incongruent.” For persons whose own attempts at self-definition and self-regulation have met with harsh conditions of worth, the act of voicing a preference or a feeling or an opinion is the first step in establishing selfhood and personal identity.
