Conditional Positive Regard in the context of psychology refers to a concept often associated with humanistic psychology and, more specifically, with the theories of Carl Rogers. It is a type of acceptance and love that is given under certain conditions or standards. This contrasts with unconditional positive regard, a term Rogers coined to describe acceptance and love that is given freely, without conditions or judgments. Conditional positive regard suggests that acceptance and affection from significant others (such as parents, friends, or teachers) are contingent upon the individual behaving in ways that those significant others find acceptable or desirable.
Conditional positive regard means receiving praise, attention, or approval from others as a result of behaving in accordance with the expectations of others. Moreover, Condtional postive regard refers to approval, love, or acceptance granted only when a person expresses desirable behaviors and attitudes.
