SELF-

DEVELOPMENT
Knowing and Understanding One self during
Middle and Late Adolescence
SELF-CONCEPT
◦Imagine yourself looking into a mirror.
What do you see?
◦ Do you see your ideal self or your actual self?
◦ Your ideal self is the 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.
◦Your actual self, however, is the one
that you actually see.
◦It is the self that has characteristics
that you were nurtured or, in some
cases, born to nave.
◦ The actual self and the ideal self
are two broad categories of self-
concept.
◦Self-concept refers to your awareness of
yourself.
◦It is the construct that negotiates these two
selves.
◦ In other words, 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.
◦The actual self is built on self-knowledge.
◦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.
◦The ideal self, on the other 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.
◦The ideal self could include components of what our
parents have taught us, what we admire in others,
what our society promotes, and what we think is in
our best interest.
◦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 re-adjusted, and are derived
from outcomes of social interactions from infant to
adult development. . Alignment is important. If the
way that I am (the actual self) is aligned with the
way that / want to be (the ideal self), then I will
feel a sense of mental well-being or peace of
mind. If the way that I am is not aligned with how I
want to be, the incongruence, or lack of
alignment, will result in mental distress or anxiety.
◦The greater the level of incongruence
between the ideal self and real self, the
greater the level of resulting distress.
Personal development modules ultimate aim
is greater self-knowledge that will lead to
higher alignment between these two
personality domains.
PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS
◦Personal effectiveness means making use of all
the personal resources - talents, skills, energy and
time, to enable you to achieve life goals.
◦Your knowledge of yourself and how you manage
yourself impacts directly on your personal
effectiveness. Being self-aware, making the most of
your strengths, learning new skills and techniques
and behavioral flexibility are all keys to improving
your personal performance.
◦Our personal effectiveness depends on our
innate characteristics - talent and experience
accumulated in the process of personal
development. Talents first are needed to be
identified and then developed to be used in a
particular subject area (science, literature,
sports, politics, etc.). Experience includes
knowledge and skills that we acquire in the
process of cognitive and practical activities.
◦Knowledge is required for setting goals,
defining an action plan to achieve them
and risk assessment.
◦Skills also determine whether real actions
are performed in accordance with the plan.
If the same ability is used many times in
the same situation, then it becomes a habit
that runs automatically, subconsciously.

of yourself, your actions and their consequences.

capabilities, gain positive attitude and believe that
by performing right actions and achieving right
goals you will certainly reach success.
◦3. Persistence. It makes you keep
moving forward regardless of emerging
obstacles - problems, laziness, bad
emotional state, etc. It reduces the costs
of overcoming obstacles. It can also be

stress that arises in daily life from the
environment and other people. Stress

situation when a lack of information

image of an object formed by the human mind, which

and scrutinize all your ideas, which in turn contributes
