Assertion: Maslow's theory is structured around the concept of self, which includes the real self and ideal self. This is false. The concept of real self and ideal self is central to Carl Rogers' humanistic theory, not Maslow's theory. Abraham Maslow's theory is based on the Hierarchy of Needs, culminating in self-actualization, not structured around the "self" in terms of real vs. ideal.

Reasoning: A person is generally happy when there is a correspondence between the real self and ideal self. this is true.  Rogers suggested that when there is a correspondence between the real self and ideal self, a person is generally happy.
