Lesson 1 and 2

This document discusses understanding oneself during middle and late adolescence. It explains that having an ideal self, which is the person one aspires to be, and an actual self, who one truly is based on their characteristics and self-knowledge, is important for self-acceptance and relationships. It says the actual self is built from self-awareness and insights from social interactions, while the ideal self is an idealized image developed over time from learning and experiences that can include influences from parents, admired people, and societal values.

UNIT 1 :

SELF- DEVELOPMENT
MODULE 1:
KNOWING AND
UNDERSTANDING ONESELF
DURING MIDDLE AND LATE
ADOLESCENCE
BIG QUESTION:

How can understanding


yourself pave the way
to self-acceptance and
better relationship with
others?
Imagine yourself
looking into the
mirror.
What do you
see?
Do you see your
ideal self...
or your actual
self?
IDEAL SELF
it is the self that you
aspire to be.
IDEAL SELF
It is the one that you
hope will possess
characteristics similar
to that of a mentor of
some other worldly
figure.
ACTUAL SELF
It is the one that you
actually see.
ACTUAL SELF
It is the self that has
characteristics that you
were nurtured or, in
some cases, born to
have.
refers to your
awareness of yourself.
The actual self is
built on
self-knowledge.
is derived from social
interactions that provide insight
into how others react to you.
The actual self is
who we actually are.
It is how we think,
how we feel, look ,
and act.
The actual self can
be seen by others, but
because we have no
way of truly knowing
how others view us,
the actual self is our
self-image.
The ideal self, on
the other hand, is
how we want to be.
It is an idealized
image that we have
developed over
time,
based on what we
have learned and
experienced.
The ideal self could
include components
of what our parents
taught us,
what we admire in
others, what our
society promotes,
and what we think
is our best interest.
