The sample consisted of 400 male and female students from the University of Kufa (Iraq), who were selected by random stratified method. In order to achieve the objectives of the research, a tool was built according to Carl Rogers' theory, consisting of (46) items, and five alternatives to the answer, and the psychometric characteristics were available in the scale.
