Study Notes
Self-Concept and Personality
- A significant gap between the ideal self and the self-concept suggests incongruence, indicating an unhealthy personality.
- Gregg Henriques introduced the Tripartite Model of Human Consciousness, comprising three interconnected domains: experiential self, private self, and public self.
Self Domains
- Experiential Self: Represents the felt experience of being, acting as the theater of consciousness.
- Private Self: Functions as the narrating and interpreting aspect of self, providing verbal commentary on personal experiences.
- Public Self: Relates to how one presents oneself to others in social contexts.
True vs. False Self
- Donald Winnicott defined the false self as a protective mechanism to conceal an individual's true identity.
- The false self emerges to maintain social relationships, anticipating the demands of others.
- The ideal self encompasses one’s aspirations, while the true self embodies integrity and a cohesive sense of being, stemming from early developmental experiences.
Proactive and Agentic Self
- Albert Bandura, a prominent psychologist from Stanford University, developed the concept of self-efficacy within his social learning theory that emphasizes modeling.
- Bandura highlighted human beings as proactive, self-regulating, self-reflective, and self-organizing.
Domains of Self-Efficacy
- Bracken identified six domains influencing self-efficacy:
- Social Domain: Ability to interact with others.
- Competence Domain: Meeting basic needs.
- Affect Domain: Awareness of emotional states.
- Physical Domain: Self-perception regarding health and appearance.
- Academic Domain: Success or failure in educational settings.
- Family Domain: Functioning within familial contexts.
William James and Self-Concept
- William James, a key figure in psychology and founder of functionalism, differentiated between the “knower” (I-Self) and the “known” (Me-Self).
- The I-Self serves as the agent of experience, while the Me-Self encompasses three interrelated aspects of the empirical self:
- Material
- Social
- Spiritual
Real vs. Ideal Self
- Carl Rogers, founder of client-centered therapy and a significant figure in humanistic psychology, aimed to help individuals balance their self-concept (real self) and ideal self.
- The real self includes aspects of identity considered self-evident, while the ideal self represents how one aspires to be.
