into a mirror. What do
you see? Do you see
your ideal self or your
actual self?

that 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.

is the one that you actually
see. It is the self that has
characteristics that you
were nurtured or, in some
cases, born to have.

awareness of yourself. It is
the construct that
negotiates these two
selves.

is built on self-knowledge.

social interactions that provide
insight into how others react to
you.

hand, is how we want to be. It
is an idealized image that we
have developed over time,
based on what we have
learned and experienced.

exists between the two
selves which is complex
because there are
numerous exchanges
between the ideal and
actual self.

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.
