  Unconditional self-acceptance has been regarded as a desirable type of self-acceptance in rational therapy. However, conditional self-acceptance and its conditions, have not been sufficiently examined and discussed. This study aimed to examine the ways in which conditional self-acceptance is related to stress response and positivity. It examines the types of conditional self-acceptance, the relationship between conditional and unconditional self-acceptance, and the stress response and positive attitude toward life that unconditional self-acceptance fosters. The survey results of 287 university students revealed that conditional self-acceptance was categorized into three levels: high conditional self-acceptance, acceptance-seeking, and low conditional self-acceptance, showing the highest to lowest stress response in the abovementioned order. These results indicate that it is important to foster an attitude of unconditional self-acceptance to maintain optimal mental health.
