Psychological Perspective of the Self

People holds varied ideas from one another. In a way, these ideas may relate
to another and may generate contradictions. Intrinsically since people embodies
different experience, beliefs, and knowledge from each that became the basis of
deriving these ideas. As said, the notable people whom conceptualize and contribute
in the construct of understanding the self, have this kind of interrelationships. These
concepts can function as the foundation of people’s knowledge about the complex
nature of the self. Wherein, learning these concepts will help a person to able to
assess his/her own self base on the concepts proposed by the numerous and
various proponents that distinguished the self in their own way. With the assimilation
of these concepts and applications in the everyday living of a person will eventually
make the person be able to gain awareness and grasp understanding of his/her own
self.

Erik Erikson concept is similar with the conceptual theory of Sigmund Freud’s
concept, suggesting that development of the self undergoes requisite stages that
starts from early childhood to adulthood. However, contrary to the libido induced or
pleasure-seeking factor of the self that affect the behavior of an individual, thus leads
to development of self-identity proposed by Freud; the psychosocial concept of Erik
Erikson give emphasis to the influence of an individual’s social interactions in order
to develop the self. Which explicitly shows that these two concepts are similar yet
different. On the other hand, according to Carl Jung’s theory, every human has what
he calls collective consciousness, whereby people have mind of their own in which
they store memories of their past and possibly external past of their ancestor.
Therefore, his concept of self provides the grounds that there's a form of connection
between the historical context of society as factors and the construct of personal
identity that influences self-development. The self is divergent in his concept that is
separated into a form of distinct archetypes, that are associated to the collective
consciousness of an individual that contributes in the development of the sel
In quite the same way, Jung’s concept is similar in the two concepts of the self
separately proposed by Albert Bandura and William James. Whereby, in Bandura’s
concept, the self is also interlinked with the past experiences of an individual and the
empirical analysis of these leads to self-development. Meanwhile, the common thing
between William James concept and Jung is that, the self is also driven by
experiences of social interactions. In a way, these specific concepts share
commonality characteristics on how the self is influences by the experiences of an
individual. Additionally, they conceptualized that the self is divided into fundamental
components. This characteristic supplementarily and distinctively connects with the
concepts of Carl Roger and the Multiple versus Unified self-concept. Particularly,
William James’ and Carl Roger’s concepts that pertain to the self as an analysis, in
which people have to assess the current self and compare to another form of the self
in an ideal way that people wish to see themselves. Likewise, the multiple and
unified self-concept is the same with the latter. It also has the general meaning that
the self is determinant in the comparison of the realistic to the idealistic self.
Although all of these can concepts share similarities, however, they also have
distinctive ideas that are different from one another. This goes to show that the ideas
of the people whom proposed these concepts are evidently diverse in nature,
implying that people are intrinsically unique despite the commonalities. Therefore,
this demonstrated the interrelationship of the fundamental concepts of the self.

In the end, through learning these psychological perspective of the self it


made realized that the behavior of a person has significant impacts in the reality one
lives in. Within this behavior include the certain ways we deal with situations we face
as a person. Wherein, we are the instigators of our actions and accountable for
those actions we committed. We face triumphs and fails and our life, whatever the
size or significance of these events in our life, it provides us lessons in which we can
learn. Hence, realization of the goods and defects in our behavior towards these
certain experiences in our life will help us to improve our own self. So as a way of
strategy in order to have significant self-improvement, we must learn to analyze and
assess our own behaviors, then change accordingly from those. Such as changing
self-destructive behaviors into a productive and efficient way in order to attain piece
of mind and worry-free life.
