    The document discusses self-concept and personality. It defines self-concept as one's awareness of oneself, including the ideal self one aspires to be and the actual self one presently is. Personality is influenced by both nature and nurture, and can be measured using tests like the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, which assesses preferences in four areas: extraversion vs introversion, sensing vs intuition, thinking vs feeling, and judgment vs perception. Self-knowledge comes from social interactions that provide insight into how others react to one's actual self.

    SELF CONCEPT

    SELF

    The essence of a person: his thoughts, feelings,


    and actions, experiences, beliefs, values, principles,
    and relationships.

    It includes a person’s life purpose, meaning, and


    aspirations.
    IDEAL SELF

    The self you aspire to be. It is the


    one that you hope will possess
    characteristics similar to that of a
    mentor or some other worldly figure.
    ACTUAL SELF

    The one that you actually see.

    It is the self that has characteristics that you


    were nurtured or, in some cases, born to have.
    The actual self is built on self-knowledge
    SELF CONCEPT

    Refers to your awareness of yourself.

    It is the construct that negotiates these two selves.

    It connotes first the identification of the ideal self


    as separate from others, and second, it encompasses
    all the behaviors evaluated in the actual self that you
    engage in to reach the ideal self
    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.
    There is negotiation that exists between the
    two selves which is complex because there are
    numerous exchanges between the ideal and
    actual self. These exchanges are exemplified in
    social roles that are adjusted and readjusted and
    are derives from outcomes of social interactions
    from infant to adult development.
    PERSONALITY

    Is influenced by both nature (heredity or genetic


    make-up) and nurture(environment)

    There is no single gene that creates a trait. It is


    always a complex combination of genes,
    environmental exposure and experiences, and
    cultural backgrounds.
