Study Notes

Getting to Know Oneself

  • Self-concept is a multi-dimensional perception of oneself (physical, spiritual, emotional, social, moral).
  • Self-esteem is a positive or negative evaluation of one's self-concept.
  • Self-worth is the value one places on themselves.
  • Self-efficacy is the belief in one's ability to complete tasks and control one's environment.
  • Self-complexity refers to the varying ways one thinks about oneself, a uniqueness of self.
  • Self-awareness allows individuals to understand themselves to a degree that they can evaluate themselves.
  • Comparing oneself to standards and evaluating oneself can influence self-focused behaviors to match expected standards of correctness.
  • Individuals evaluate behaviors in order to be appropriate in the given situation.

Aspects of Self

  • Real self is one's authentic being without societal distortions.
  • Ideal self is the "want to be" self, influenced by societal and personal expectations.
  • Perceived self is how one and others perceive oneself, potentially impacted by others' opinions.
  • Discrepancy between the real and ideal self can lead to personal struggles. This concept was developed by Carl Rogers.

Steps to Become More Self-Aware

  • Delayed gratification: working towards goals while rejecting instant gratification.
  • Constructive feedback: taking comments not personally & avoiding biased reflections.
  • Reflecting on criticisms received: objectively examining criticisms.
  • Self-reflection: asking oneself "why" to understand emotional and behavioral patterns.

Holistic View of Self

  • Psychological, physiological, cognitive, emotional, and spiritual aspects of the self.
  • Puberty-related physiological changes.
  • Cognitive skills like recognition, attending, and reasoning.
  • Emotional responses to situations and feelings.
  • Importance of spiritual awareness and values.

Stages of Development

  • Ages, Erikson's stages (trust vs. mistrust, autonomy vs. shame, initiative vs. guilt, and so on), and Freud's stages (oral, anal, phallic, latency, genital), and their correlations between emotional, psychological, and societal aspects.
  • Erikson believed development continues into adulthood, contrary to Freud's idea that development ends at adolescence.
