Study Notes
The Self and Self-Concept
- We constantly change and evolve, making it challenging to define ourselves consistently.
- Self-concept is an organized collection of perceptions and beliefs about oneself, shaped by experiences, personality, abilities, physical features, values, goals, roles, observations, and feedback from others.
- Self-schemas are mental representations of our beliefs about ourselves, encompassing how we perceive our traits, abilities, and roles.
Real and Ideal Selves
- We have the capacity to imagine and envision ourselves as better versions of who we are.
- This is called the "possible self," encompassing both our aspirations and fears about who we might become.
- The gap between our real and ideal selves is termed "incongruence," potentially leading to anxiety, disappointment, and low self-esteem.
Self-Esteem and Self-Efficacy
- Self-esteem refers to our overall assessment of our worth as individuals.
- It is influenced by our successes and failures in different areas of life, such as relationships, spirituality, academics, and physical abilities.
- Self-efficacy relates to our belief in our ability to perform and function effectively.
- While increased self-efficacy often contributes to higher self-esteem, the reverse isn't always true. High self-esteem doesn't necessarily translate into effective action.
Proper Motivations
- Our self-esteem and self-efficacy are often shaped by the unconditional positive regard we receive from others.
- When we feel a lack of support, it's important to consider that others may be supporting us in ways we haven't yet recognized.
- By acknowledging the need for positive regard, we can also learn to provide it for others, fostering their growth and well-being.
Conclusion
- We should invest in ourselves and explore ways to improve.
- It's important to be resilient in the face of discouragement from others, viewing challenging situations as opportunities for growth.
- We should free ourselves from limiting beliefs that decrease our self-esteem and self-efficacy, embracing beliefs that promote our self-worth and ability to perform effectively.
