Two students wrote about Rogers's (1959) idea of congruence.
| Student A | Student B |
|---|---|
| A pupil sees themselves as capable and wants to be capable, so their self-image and ideal self are congruent. | A large gap between self-image and ideal self is congruence, and this raises self-esteem. |
Explain which student has used Rogers's idea correctly and why the other student is wrong.
