Answer:
Existential theories assume that people are not only driven by a search of meaning, but also by negative experiences such as failure, awareness of death, death of a loved one, and anxiety. Because they are part of the human condition and can foster psychological growth.
Explanation:
All right to understand this we need to analyze all the options.
First of all dispositional theorists believe in behavioralism. And behaviorism focuses on behavior, variables, and how to change/ control them. So, it is incorrect.
Psychodynamic theorists consider development but based on desire and how that desire triggers the people's feelings, as well as their motives to act. But many times they don't know any of those reasons because it is part of the unconscious. So they don't seek for meaning. Therefore, it is incorrect.
Cognitive psychologists assume that people have emotions and they influence their actions. However, they also believe their physiological conditions also influence them and that helps them to develop. Nevertheless, they don't consider anything negative. Everything is part of a process and psychological growth is achieved but on different levels. Here we are talking about self-realization and fulfillment that requires a certain amount of resilience and understanding to achieve it, as an ideal. So we are not into cognitive theorists. Thus, it is incorrect.
Existential theorists categorize, death, failure, death, and anxiety as "negative" because they are not really psychologists. They are philosophists. So they have a different perception and created this theory to try to understand the world from their perspective. They believe in psychological growth from "negative" experiences. So, this is the correct answer.
