Rogers' childhood was characterized by

A) parents who loved him in subtle ways, but held strict religious views and emphasized moral behavior.
B) sexual conflicts.
C) living by his own values at an early age, rather than his parent's viewpoints.
D) hatred of his father.

Rogers' childhood was shaped by his parents' strict religious beliefs and emphasis on moral behavior, yet they also showed love for him in subtle ways. This is evident in his later work as a psychologist, where he emphasizes the importance of unconditional positive regard and empathy towards others. There is no evidence to suggest that Rogers lived by his own values at an early age or hated his father, and while he did experience sexual conflicts later in life, they were not a characteristic of his childhood.
