Study Notes
The Self as a Paradox
What It Means To Become A Person (Rogers, 1961)
- Real self is viewed as a continuous process rather than a final destination.
- Conditional positive regard prevents individuals from achieving their true selves by imposing specific expectations.
- Example of conditional positive regard: “You need to get an A in all your subjects” emphasizes performance over acceptance.
- Unconditional positive regard promotes acceptance without judgment, exemplified by expressions like “I love you for who you are.”
- Empathy involves understanding and sharing another person's experiences.
- Genuineness is characterized by authentic interactions with others.
Presentation of Self In Everyday Life (Goffman, 1991)
- Dramaturgical perspective suggests individuals perform various roles in social interactions.
- Front stage self is the persona crafted to make a favorable impression on others during initial encounters.
- Back stage self reveals a more authentic version of an individual shared with familiar relationships.
- Goffman posits that a singular "real self" does not exist; instead, self-presentation varies by context.
Alejo and Bronfenbrenner

- Key Filipino traits highlighted include kapwa (shared identity) and pakikipagkapwa (engagement with others).
Bioecological Systems Theory (Bronfenbrenner)
- Advocates for a shift from individualistic views to a more systemic understanding of self.
- Emphasizes interdependence and the principle of reciprocity in human interactions.
- Proximal processes highlight the importance of reciprocal, evolving interactions within one’s environment.
- Individual characteristics and internal motivational drives play a critical role in one's development.
Contextual Systems
- Microsystem: Direct interactions within immediate spaces (e.g., family, friends).
