Study Notes

Understanding Self-Esteem and Reference Groups

A reference group is a group that an individual uses as a standard to evaluate themselves, often influencing their attitudes, values, and behaviors.
Self-esteem is the overall evaluation of one's worth, competence, and attractiveness, encompassing a person's emotional and cognitive assessments of themselves.
Self-esteem is not the same as self-concept, which is a more comprehensive and dynamic concept that includes one's thoughts, feelings, and experiences.
Self-evaluation occurs when individuals compare themselves to others, their past experiences, or their own ideals, leading to self-assessment and self-reflection.
Self-evaluation is an ongoing process, as individuals constantly encounter new experiences, feedback, and social interactions that influence their self-perceptions.
