Take a look at your own self-concept and answer the following self-concept inventory in your journal. Give yourself a ratng using the scale: 0= very weak; 1= weak; 2=comewhat weak or somewhat strong; 3= strong; 4= very strong HOW DO YOU PERCEIVE YOURSELF?
Lookat the results of your self-concept
inventory and answer the following questions:
1. In what areas do you consider yourself
strong (with score 14-16) or somewhat weak ( score 10-13) and very weak ( below 10) Remember:
There is indeed a big difference
between what you see in yourself ( real self-image) and what is projected in the eyes of the other( your social image) SELF-CONCEPT
IDEAL SELF- is the self you aspire to be
Actual self- is the one you actually see.
Self-concept refers to your awareness of
yourself. SELF-CONCEPT
Itconnotes first the identification of 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-CONCEPT The actual self is built on self-knowledge.
Is who we really are
Derived from social interactions that
provides insight into how others react to you. It is how we think, feel, look and act
Can be seen by others SELF-IMAGE
IDEAL SELF How we want to be Idealized image that we have developed over time based on what we learned and experienced. Include components: On what our parents have taught us What we admire in others What our society promotes What we think is our best interest Thereis negotiation that exists between the two selves which is complex because there is numerous exchanges between the ideal and actual self. These exchanges are exemplified in social roles that are adjusted and re-adjusted, and are derived from outcomes of social interactions from infant to adult development. Alignment is important. If the way that I am ( actual self) is aligned with the way I want to be (the ideal self), then I will feel a sense of mental well-being or peace of mind. INCONGRUENCE- lack of alignment, it happens when if the way I am is not aligned with how I want to be. This will lead to anxiety or mental distress. PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS
