LESSON 1

THE NATURE OF SELF IN THE ADOLESCENCE STAGE

Adolescence is that time when you start dreaming about big things in your life, waiting
to be successful or become like the persons you admire from the educational, business,
social media, or entertainment world. This likewise the period in your life when drastic
changes (physical, intellectual, emotional and social) happen.

THE CONCEPT OF PERSONALITY:

The easiest way to understand the concept of personality is to look at it as a form of


mask that an individual wear for other to see. Such concept is rooted in the origin of the
word “personality” itself, which is the Latin word persona. This refers to the mask worn
by Roman actor in Greek dramas in order to project their respective roles. But of
course, the scientific community, particularly the psychologists, views or defines
personality as more than just what man projects for other to see.

PERSONALITY – is a pattern of relatively permanent traits and characteristics that


makes a person’s behavior consistent and distinct

TRAITS – qualities that are unique, common to some group, or shared by an entire
species but the pattern is different for each individual. Patience, unfaithfulness,
jealousy, and alertness are examples of traits.

CHARACTERISTICS – unique qualities of an individual that include such attributes as


temperament, physique, and intelligence.

NATURE OF SELF- CONCEPT:

What is self - concept - define as “ an individual’s belief about himself or


herself, including his or her attributes and who and what the self is.” To put it simply
self-concept is about how you see, view, or evaluate yourself – an appraisal that must
done realistically. Generally, your self-concept is tied to your real self or ideal self

Real self- is who you actually are, your abilities, strength, and weaknesses.
It is the way you look, think, feel, or behave which sometimes you hide because of the
role you play, how society or people around expect you to be, or mainly just how you
want to project yourself.

Ideal self- is what you envision to be or who you wish to become. This is
sometimes influenced by your parents’ expectation, the people you admire, or based on
your idea of what a successful person should be.

TYPES OF SELF-CONCEPT

Aside from the general category of the real self and ideal self, there are
specific types of self-concept that emerge from infancy to the adolescent stage that aid
in your holistic development

The Subjective Self or the Existential Self – it is the first type of self-
concept that is formed and developed during the infancy stage. It is considered as the
most basic self-concept and it involves the awareness that you are separate and distinct
individual when compare to other. Common indicators would be statements like. “I exist”
“I am different from my parents” and “I am not like my friends”
The Objective or the Categorical Self – also formed during the infancy
stage, it is the understanding that you are defined or you can describe yourself in terms
of different categories like being a boy, having black hair, being tall, etc.

The Emotional Self – formed during the early childhood stage, this type of
self-concept focuses on emotional regulation where your ability to control and express
emotions and emotion-related behavior is acquired

The Social Self – this facet of the self-concept also emerges during early
childhood. It revolves around the increasing awareness that you are pert of society and
that you have different roles to play depending on the situation. This explains why at
times you may have stepped up to a leadership role when you and some classmates
were tasked to do a certain project or activity, and why you behave and pay attention in
class because you know that role you need to play in the said situation is that of a
student

The Psychological Self – This is your understanding that you have


enduring psychological characteristics. The realization begins during middle childhood
and, at this point, you now begin to describe yourself using psychological characteristics
like intelligent, friendly, etc. as compared to the characteristics you used when the
objective or categorical self was formed

The Valued Self – otherwise known as the self-esteem, this refers to the
types of self-concept that focuses on how you value yourself an individual.

PERSONALITY AND SELF-CONCEPT IN SOCIAL INTERACTION:

Personality and self-concept are essential components of who you are. They matter
greatly as the play a large influence on how you think, feel, and behave. They are key
factor that determine how you deal and interact with other people. A high school student
who is extrovert would have more opportunities for social interaction and other activities
compared to a high school student who is introvert. These social interactions and other
activities can open up opportunities for further student engagement and can serve as a
training ground for college and future career.

Extrovert – an outgoing, overtly expressive person. A person predominantly


Concerned with external things or object consideration

Introvert – a shy, reticent person. A person predominantly concerned with their own
thought and feeling rather with external things

Ambivert – a person whose personality has balance of extravert and introvert features.

DEVELOPING A HEALTHY SELF-CONCEPT: How does one develop a healthy self-


concept?

A developing healthy self-concept needs careful planning and a concentrated effort.


One must work to posses the skills needed to face life’s challenges. There are four
elements that constitute a positive self-concept. Assess yourself to know if you need to
develop any or all of these elements.

1.Knowing yourself, determining and understanding your strength, weaknesses, talents,


and potentials.

2.Being honest with yourself and being true to who you are and what you value.

3.Taking responsibility for your action and choices

4.Loving and accepting yourself as you are, knowing that you can improve and develop
any aspect of yourself that you choose.

LESSON 2

GENDER AND SEXUALITY

DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GENDER AND SEX

According to the American Psychological Association, sex refers to the biological


aspect that makes a person male or female. It has number of indicators like the
biological sex of the person, sex chromosome, gonads, internal reproductive organs,
and sex external genitalia. Gender, on the other hand, refers to the attitudes, feeling,
and behaviors that a culture associates with a person’s biological sex.

ADOLESCENTS AND GENDER ROLES

Research has shown that adolescents view and understand gender roles as part
of social convention and have a more flexible attitude toward them. This means that you
know why masculine things are associated with being a male and why feminine things
are associated with being a female. Such associations are based on arbitrary norms
and rules that govern your behavior and society.

Awareness of gender roles may be observed in your day-to-day activities as an


adolescent. This is the reason why some adolescents tease a boy who is perceived as
feminine and why other do not mind. The teasing stems from the notion that one
expects a boy to be masculine in all aspects rather than feminine because of the gender
roles associated with being biologically boy. However, there is a need to understand
that this is not always the case, as an individual regardless of whether he or she is
biologically a boy or a girl may possess both masculine and feminine characteristic. It is
possible that the opposite more dominant over the other, but it does not necessarily
mean that there is a change in sexual orientation.

The labels of masculine and feminine are the traditional categories used to
classify people but there is also want we call androgynous and undifferentiated.
Androgynous people are those who believe that they have both masculine and
feminine characteristics while the undifferentiated perceive that they lack both
characteristics.
