Which personality theorist emphasised on the concept of fully-functioning person and ideal self?

Rogers

The correct answer is Option (2) → Rogers

The personality theorist who emphasized the concept of the fully-functioning person and ideal self is Rogers. Carl Rogers developed the person-centered approach, which highlights the importance of self-concept and the ideal self. He believed that a fully-functioning person is one who is in touch with their feelings and experiences, leading to personal growth and self-actualization.

He believed that fulfilment is the motivating force for personality development. People try to express their capabilities, potentials and talents to the fullest extent possible. There is an inborn tendency among persons that directs them to actualise their inherited nature. Rogers makes two basic assumptions about human behaviour. One is that behaviour is goal-directed and worthwhile. The second is that people (who are innately good) will almost always choose adaptive, self-actualising behaviour.
