 BRIEF INTRODUCTION

What Is Self-Concept?

Who am I? Do I really know myself? How can I

understand myself? These are some questions that most
young adolescence asked themselves, and it is very
crucial to address it so to avoid confusion and anxiety.
Some of the things that you can do in tackling the
questions is to know and understand that when you
have strengths, you will also possess weaknesses.
Knowledge and concepts from the experts will also be a
great help. https://pixabay.com/illustrations/med

Self-concept is our personal knowledge of who we
are, encompassing all our thoughts and feelings about ourselves physically,
personally, and socially. Self-concept also includes our knowledge of how we
behave, our capabilities, and our individual characteristics.

According to Carl Rogers, self-concept has three components, self-

image, self-esteem, and the ideal self.

Self-Image is the way we see ourselves. Self-image includes what we

know about ourselves physically (e.g. brown hair, blue eyes, tall), our social
roles (e.g. wife, brother, gardener), and our personality traits (e.g. outgoing,
serious, kind).

Self-Esteem is the value we place upon ourselves. Individual levels of

self-esteem are dependent on the way we evaluate ourselves. Those evaluations
incorporate our personal comparisons to others as well as others’ responses to
us.

Ideal Self is the self we would like to be. There is often a difference
between one’s self-image and one's ideal self. This incongruity can negatively
impact one’s self-esteem.

Self-image and ideal self can be congruent or incongruent. Congruence

between the self-image and ideal self means that there is a fair amount of
overlap between the two. While it is difficult, if not impossible, to achieve
perfect congruence, greater congruence will enable self-actualization.
Incongruence between the self-image and ideal self means there’s a
discrepancy between one’s self and one’s experiences, leading to internal
confusion (or cognitive dissonance) that prevents self-actualization.

Development of Self-Concept

Self-concept begins to develop in early childhood. This process continues

throughout the lifespan. However, it is between early childhood and
adolescence that self-concept experiences the most growth.

Adolescence is a key period for self-concept. During the adolescent

years, people experiment with different roles, personas, and selves. For
adolescents, self-concept is influenced by success in areas they value, and the
responses of others valued to them. Success and approval can contribute to
greater self-esteem and a stronger self-concept into adulthood.
