Correct Answer:

Assertion is false, but Reasoning is true.

Explanation:

According to Rogers, personality development is an ongoing and continuous process. It entails the acquisition of self-evaluation skills and the mastery of self-actualization. Rogers acknowledges the influence of social factors in shaping one's self-concept. In positive social conditions, individuals tend to have a high self-concept and self-esteem. Conversely, negative social conditions can lead to a low self-concept and self-esteem. Individuals with a high self-concept and self-esteem are typically open-minded and adaptable, allowing them to embrace new experiences and continue their personal growth and self-actualization journey.
