Discuss the different representations and conceptualizations of the self from the philosophical perspectives. 2. Compare and contrast how the self is examined from the philosophical views. 3. Demonstrate a reflective thought by defining the self based on these views. The Philosophical Self A.) SOCRATES Brief Background and Significant Events  He was accused of disrespect for the city of gods and corrupting the youth of Athens. He caused the youths to question all things including many traditional beliefs. He was a controversial figure in Athens because of his argumentative skill.  Socrates’ way of searching for meaning and truth was abrasive in nature (ex. endless process of asking questions). This gave birth to the “Socratic method of questioning”. Philosophical Statement: “ Know thyself”  The unexamined life is considered as not worth living, humans must strive to seek their purpose and value Definition of the SELF: The self is an immortal soul which exists over time The self is also the source of all knowledge. Individual experience is important when you want to know yourself. Hence, to truly know about something, you must understand its essence. Example: It is not enough to identify something as beautiful, one must know WHY IT IS BEAUTIFUL. A Self-regulated Learning Module 5 View of Reality: Reality is dualistic 1. Physical Realm - it is constantly changing, transient and imperfect (ex. the physical body) 2. Ideal Realm - it considered as unchanging, eternal and immortal (ex. the soul, truth, goodness and beauty) B.) PLATO Brief Background and Significant Events  The death of Socrates was a turning point in the life of Plato because he elaborated on Socrates’ ideas after the former’s death.  He contributed original ideas on a wide range of issues such as morality, politics, metaphysics and epistemology. Definition of the SELF: The self is an immortal soul which exists over time THE THREE PART SOUL (The Three Part Self) 1. Reason- it enables the individuals to think deeply, make choices and achieve true understanding. 2. Physical Appetite- this refers to basic biological needs such as thirst, hunger and sexual desire. 3. Spirit or Passion- this refers to basic emotions like love, anger, aggressiveness and empathy. The three part self may act in consonance or may act in conflict with each other. For example, You may have a relationship with someone who is intelligent (reason); with whom you are passionately in love (spirit) and whom you find sexually attractive which ignites your desires (appetite). Another example, you fell in love with a person (spirit) who is sexually attractive (appetite) who does not satisfy your ideal type, he/she is the total opposite of the person you are looking for (reason). In this case the selves are in CONFLICT. Genuine happiness can be achieved when REASON is in control of SPIRITS and APPETTITES ILLUSTRATION: “The Chariot Analogy”- the soul is likened to a chariot drawn by two powerful winged horses. Noble horse - spirit Wild horse - embodying the appetite Charioteer - reason; the task is to guide the chariot to the eternal realm by controlling the two independent- minded horses C.) ST. AUGUSTINE A Self-regulated Learning Module 6 Brief Background and Significant Events  Plotinus (Roman Philosopher) influenced the thinking of St. Augustine. Plotinus based his views on Plato’s core concepts. He believes that “The soul possesses superiority over the body”. He is committed to his Platonic ideas regarding the imperfection of his physical body; in contrast to the perfection of his eternal soul. He refused to celebrate his birthday because he was ashamed that his immortal soul had to be contained in imperfect vessel as his body.  Plotinus ideas had a profound influence on St. Augustine Definition of the SELF: The self is an immortal soul which exists over time Relationship of body and the soul  He considers the body as a “slave” to the soul  Then he alters his view that “the soul makes war with the body”  He changed it again into “the body as the spouse of the soul” with both attached to one another by a natural appetite.  He finally concluded that “The body is united with the soul so that man maybe entire and complete”. What is a virtuous life for St. Augustine? To live a virtuous life is to live in LOVE, all sins are the result of turning away from love and God. Plato’s vision of immortal souls striving to achieve union with the eternal realm through INTELLECTUAL ENLIGHTENMENT became transformed by Augustine into IMMORTAL SOULS STRIVING TO ACHIEVE UNION WITH GOD through faith and reason. Hence, this is the start of the medieval Christian Doctrine and Western Philosophy. D.) DESCARTES Brief Background and Significant Events  Founder of Modern Philosophy  He was a mathematician and a scientist  He is a rationalist who emphasized that thinking must follow a logical and rational process Philosophical Statement: Cogito Ergo Sum “I think therefore I am”- this is the essence of your SELF, humans are thinking thing! A Self-regulated Learning Module 7   Descartes believed that man is a thinking being, genuine knowledge must be based on independent rational inquiry and real-world experimentation. Performing mental operations was essential to being a human self.  To arrive at knowledge, human must use their thinking abilities (investigate, analyze, experiment and develop well-reasoned conclusions) Definition of the SELF: The self is a thinking thing, distinct from the body Dualistic View of the Self  The thinking self (or soul): non material, immortal, conscious being and independent of the physical laws of the universe. The conscious self is part of the spiritual realm governed by the laws of reason and God’s will.  The physical body is a material, mortal, non-thinking entity governed by the physical laws of nature. Rationalist View: Reasoning ability provides the origin of knowledge Rationalism - the view that reason is the primary source of all knowledge and that only our reasoning abilities can enable us to understand sense experience and reach accurate conclusions. E.) JOHN LOCKE Brief Background and Significant Events  His background as a physician influenced his beliefs about the nature of the self. Definition of the SELF: Personal identity is made possible by self- consciousness Knowledge is based on the careful observation of sense experience/ or memories of previous experiences. Reason is a vital element in making meaning out of the sense experience of a person. Empiricist view: all knowledge originates in our direct SENSE EXPERIENCE Empiricism- the view that sense experience is the primary source of all knowledge and that only a careful attention to sense experience can enable us to understand the world and achieve accurate conclusions. LOCKE’S CONCLUSION ON EXAMINING ONE’S EXPERIENCES: 1. To discover personal identity, one must establish how it is to be a person 2. A person is a thinking, reflecting and analyzing being 3. A person is the same thing in different times and places 4. Consciousness is accompanied by thinking A Self-regulated Learning Module 8  5. Consciousness makes it possible to exhibit the same identity in different times and places NOTE: Conscious awareness and memory of previous experiences are the keys to understanding the self F.) HUME Brief Background and Significant Events  He was an empiricist like John Locke  He was a controversial figure because of his skeptical examinations of religion, ethics and history during the 18th century Philosophical Statement: There is no self! Definition of the SELF: There is no self, only a bundle of constantly changing perceptions passing through the theatre of our minds. TWO DISTINCT ENTITIES: 1. Impressions- the basic sensations of our experience, the elemental data of our minds: pain, pleasure, heat, cold, happiness, grief, fear etc. These impressions are “lively” and “vivid”. 2. Ideas- ideas are copies of impressions, they are less “lively” and “vivid”. Ideas include thoughts and images that are built up from our primary impressions through a variety of relationships. “The mind is a kind of theatre where several perceptions successively make their appearance…” G.) KANT Brief Background and Significant Events  A German philosopher who wrote his books while dressed in a bathrobe and slippers. Philosophical Statement: “We construct the self” Definition of the SELF: The self is a unifying subject, an organizing consciousness that makes intelligible experience possible.  Kant argued that when we perceive objects, we encounter mental states that appear to be composed of bits and pieces and are organized meaningfully. (For example, A Self-regulated Learning Module 9  taking the raw data of experience and actively synthesizing it into familiar, orderly, meaningful world in which we live.)  Knowledge of the world begins with sensations: sounds, colours, tastes, feels, smells are the basic data for experience  The mind actively sorts, organizes, relates and synthesizes the raw data. It is yourself that is actively organizing all of your sensations and thoughts into a picture that makes sense to you. YOUR WORLD ACCORDING TO YOUR TERMS! Ergo, WE CONSTRUCT THE SELF! H.) FREUD Brief Background and Significant Events  Freud’s parental experiences influenced his development of the concept of Oedipus Complex  Freud was described as exhibiting the following characteristics: intelligence, self- confidence, desire for achievement and fame Definition of the SELF: “The self is multi-layered” THREE LAYERS OF THE SELF: 1. ID - it is present at birth, entirely unconscious, includes all innate instincts. It is motivated entirely by the pleasure principle. It has no sense of logic, time, or self-preservation. Its only resource is to form wish-fulfilling mental images of desired objects. 2. EGO - It begins to develop out of the ID at about 6to8 months. It operates in accordance with the logical and self-preservative secondary process. The EGO is motivated by the REALITY PRINCIPLE. (Example, delaying pleasure until a suitable and safe object has been found. - The ego is the locus of all emotions, including anxiety and tries to keep the ID under control by using various DEFENSE MECHANISM (repression, denial, rationalization, displacement etc.) 3. SUPEREGO - it begins to develop out of the ego at about age 3to5 years. It is partly conscious and unconscious. It includes standards or RIGHT and WRONG. The SUPEREGO results from parental standards. It operates under the MORALITY PRINCIPLE. A Self-regulated Learning Module 10  THE ICEBERG THEORY: source: www.katdish.net I.) RYLE Brief Background and Significant Events  Analytic philosopher who analysed language to solve philosophical puzzles. Definition of the SELF: “The self is the way people behave”  In defining the self, it is necessary to focus on OBSERVABLE BEHAVIOR because these are concrete evidences of how the minds works and functions.  The self is defined in terms of what is presented to the world.  What the minds wills, it is the body that executes it.  The self is better understood as a pattern of behavior, the tendency for a person to behave in a certain way. J). CHURCHLAND Brief Background and Significant Events  A contemporary American Philosopher and professor at the University of California. Definition of the SELF: “The self is the brain”  Mental states will be superseded by the brain states  The physical states (health of our bodies, the food we ingest, the experiences we endure) have an impact on our mental and emotional functioning.  The emotional and mental states likewise impact on our physical conditions (ex. stress, depression, psychosomatic disorder)  To understand the nature of the mind, we have to fully understand the nature of the brain. A Self-regulated Learning Module 11 GOAL OF BRAIN/SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH: Link the self to the physical wiring and physiological functioning of the brain.  He proposed ELIMINATIVE MATERIALISM-developing a new vocabulary and conceptual framework that is grounded in neuroscience. K). MERLEAU-PONTY Brief Background and Significant Events  French philosopher who was influenced by Husserl  He worked in the Army as an officer and was eventually appointed as a Philosophy professor at University of Lyon Definition of the SELF: “The self is embodied subjectivity”  “I live in my body”- entity that can never be objectified or known in a completely objective sort of way. (Ponty is a phenomenologist in this aspect).  The living body is a natural synthesis of mind and biology and separating them would be nonsensical and artificial.  Everything that we are aware of is contained within our own consciousness. Consciousness is a dynamic form responsible for actively structuring our conscious ideas and physical behavior.  For him, perception was the source of knowledge and has to be studied before the conventional sciences.

Discuss the different representations and conceptualizations of the self from the sociological perspective. 2. Examine the different environmental and social factors that shape the self. Sociological Perspective THE SELF AS A PRODUCT OF MODERN SOCIETY AMONG OTHER CONSTRUCTIONS: LET’S REFLECT: 1. How does society influence you? 2. How do you affect the society? 3. Who are you as a person in the community?  SOCIOLOGY is the study of formed norms, beliefs, and values that come to exist within the person to a degree where these become natural and normal, thus, developing the person’s identity (Elwell, 2003). - is the study of social life, social change, and the social causes and consequences of human behavior.  MODERNIZATION has significantly changed society and this has affected how individual builds and develops his/her “identity”. - PREMODERN SOCIETY- centered on survival, people behaved according to social rules and traditions - MODERNIZATION- has improved people’s living conditions; a person in the modern society is free to choose where to live, what to do, and who to be with. In modern societies, individualism is dominant and developing one’s self- identity is central. - MODERNIZATION is also called the destruction of the traditional way of life “delocalized” the self (Mannheim, 1950). The self is dislocated and deracinated from its traditional attachment to the community. A Self-regulated Learning Module 14  DELOCALIZATION- the self is released from time- honored traditions and communal attachments and faces infinites possibilities (i.e. free to seek its own identity). Note: The self as a product of modern society is free to seek its own identity and free from customary constraints. KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF MODERNITY: 1. Industrialism- the social relations implied in the extensive use of material power and machinery in all processes of production. (ex. people are more and more dependent on machines) 2. Capitalism- a production system involving both competitive product markets and the commodification of labor power. 3. Institutions of surveillance- the massive increase of power and reach by institutions, especially in government. 4. Dynamism- the most evident characteristic of modern society. Dynamism is characterized as having vigorous activity and progress. In modern society, it is a society that is full of possibilities, everything is subject to change. (Ex. Liquid Society- nothing is permanent; living in times of uncertainty!) WHAT IS A SOCIAL GROUP?  This is described as having two or more people interacting with one another, sharing similar characteristics, and whose members identify themselves as part of the group. (ex. family, barkada, classmates) TWO TYPES OF SOCIAL GROUP: A. ORGANIC GROUPS- it is naturally occurring, and it is highly influenced by your family. This is usually formed in traditional societies. You joined these groups because your family is also a part of it (organic motivation). B. RATIONAL GROUPS- it occurs in modern societies. Modern societies are made up of different people coming from different places. Rational groups are formed as a matter of shared self-interests; people join these groups out of their own free will (rational motivation) WHAT IS A SOCIAL NETWORK? A Self-regulated Learning Module 15  - refers to the ties or connections that link you to your social group. (ex. The connection you have with your family is your blood relation, the connection you have with your barkada is your friendship) The SOCIAL SELF according to George Herbert Mead:  Mead was a sociologist from the late 1800s. He is well known for his “theory of the Social Self”  Mead’s work focused on how the “self” is developed. His theory is based on the perspective that the self is a product of social interactions and internalizing the external (i.e., other people’s) views along with one’s personal view about oneself.  Mead believed the “self” is not present at birth; rather it developed over time through social experiences and activities. Developing the SELF: Mead developed a concept that proposed different stages of self-development. These stages are: Language- through shared understanding of symbols, gestures and sound, language gives the individual the capacity to express himself or herself while at the same time comprehending what other people are conveying. Language sets the stage for self- development. Play- at this level, individuals role-play or assume the perspective of others. Role-playing enables the person to internalize some other people’s perspectives. Game- is the level where the individual not only internalize the other people’s perspectives, he/she is also able to take into account societal rules and adheres to it. According to Mead, the self is developed by understanding the rule, and one must abide by it to win the game or be successful at an activity. TWO SIDES OF SELF: “I” and “Me”:  The “I” and “Me” have a didactic relationship, which is like a system of checks and balance.  “Me” is the product of what the person has learned while interacting with others and with the environment. Learned behaviors, attitudes and expectations comprises the “me”. The ‘me’ exercises control over the self, it sees to it that rules are not broken. - The “I” is that part of the self that is unsocialized and spontaneous. It is the individual’s response to the community’s attitude toward the person. The ‘I’ presents impulses and drives. A Self-regulated Learning Module 16  - The ‘I’ enables the person to express individualism and creativity and it does not blindly follow rules. BRONFENBRENNER’S ECOLOGICAL SYSTEMS THEORY: - the ecological theory focuses on the impact that environment plays on the growth and development of an individual. The MICROSYSTEM - The microsystem refers to the environment in which an individual lives. This system includes family members, peers, religious communities, neighborhoods and others whom the individual has regular interaction and direct contact with. The MESOSYSTEM - The mesosystem is described as the interactions between the microsystems. The mesosystem could include experiences at home related to experiences at school, or experiences at school related to experiences at church. The EXOSYSTEM - The exosystem is a system in which the individual plays no role in the construction of experiences, but these experiences have a direct impact on the microsystems the individual is part of. An example of an exosystem could include a husband being laid off and this lack of employment having a direct impact on the family's financial state that could affect their day-to-day lifestyle and the stress level in the home. The MACROSYSTEM - The macrosystem is influenced greatly by the culture and society in which a person lives. The belief systems and ideology of the individual's culture influence the person directly, however, the individual does not necessarily have as much freedom in determining his or her surroundings The CHRONOSYSTEM - The chronosystem reflects the cumulative experiences a person has over the course of their lifetime. These experiences include environmental events, as well as major transitions in life. Some notable transitions include divorce, marriage or the birth of a baby. These transitions are major experiences in an individual's lifetime. source: www.frontpagenews.us A Self-regulated Learning Module 17 Sources: Santrock, John W. (2011).

Discuss the different representations and conceptualizations of the self from the anthropological perspectives. 2. Examine how culture influences an individual in shaping one’s self. THE SELF EMBEDDED IN CULTURE  Cultural anthropologists have argued that the self is culturally shaped and infinitely variable (e.g. cultural traditions and social practices regulate, express and transform the human psyche resulting less in psychic unity for humankind). TWO WAYS OF HOW THE SELF IS CONSTRUCTED 1.INDEPENDENT CONSTRUCTS- the characteristic of individualistic culture such as North America. Individualistic culture represents the self as separate, distinct, with emphasis on internal attributes, skills and values. 2.INTERDEPENDENT CONSTRUCT- it is typical of the collectivist culture in East Asia which stresses the essential connection between the individual to other people (ex. strong family ties). Developmental psychologist Catherine Raeff (2010), believed that culture can influence how you view: relationships, personality traits, achievement, and expressing emotions. Relationship- may be seen as voluntary or duty based; Eastern societies practice arranged marriage while Western societies are free to choose whom they will marry A Self-regulated Learning Module 21  Personality traits- culture influences whether (and how) you value traits, like humility, self-esteem and the like. Achievement- Culture influences how you define success and whether you value certain types of individual and group achievements Expressing Emotion- Culture influences what will affect you emotionally, as well as how you express yourself (example: Showing your feelings in public or keeping it private). TWO BASIC COMPONENTS OF CULTURE Nonmaterial culture- includes the values, beliefs, symbols, and language that define a society. Material culture- includes all the society’s physical objects, such as its tools and technology, clothing, eating utensils, and means of transportation. THE ELEMENTS OF CULTURE 1. Symbols - Every culture is filled with symbols, or things that stand for something else and that often evoke various reactions and emotions. Some symbols are actually types of nonverbal communication (gestures and movements), while other symbols are in fact material objects. 2. Language - The most important set of symbols is language. It is crucial to communication and thus to any society’s culture. 3. Norms - Cultures differ widely in their norms, or standards and expectations for behaving. Norms are often divided into two types: formal norms and informal norms. - Formal norms, also called mores (MOOR-ayz) and laws, refer to the standards of behavior considered the most important in any society. - Informal norms, also called folkways and customs, refer to standards of behavior that are considered less important but still influence how we behave. 4. Rituals - Different cultures also have different rituals, or established procedures and ceremonies that often mark transitions in the life course. As such, rituals both reflect and transmit a culture’s norms and other elements from one generation to the next. 5. Values - Values are another important element of culture and involve judgments of what is good or bad and desirable or undesirable. A culture’s values shape its norms. 6. Artifacts - The last element of culture is the artifacts, or material objects, that constitute a society’s material culture.

Discuss the different representations and conceptualizations of the self from the psychological perspectives. 2.Examine the different psychological factors that can influence one’s identity. A.THE SELF AS COGNITIVE CONSTRUCTION: PSYCHOLOGY- is the scientific study of how people behave, think and feel. - Some of the focus of psychology are: how the brain works, how the memory is organized, how people interact with groups, and how children learn about the world. JEAN PIAGET- he was a Swiss clinical psychologist and he pioneered the “theory of cognitive development”. COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT is a progressive reorganization of mental processes resulting from biological maturation and environmental experience. THREE BASIC COMPONENTS OF PIAGET’S COGNITIVE THEORY Schema- the building blocks of knowledge. Schemas are mental organizations that individuals use to understand their environments and designate action. Adaptation-it involves the child’s learning process to meet situational demands. TWO PROCESSES OF ADAPTATION Assimilation-the application of previous concepts to new concepts. Accommodation- happens when people encounter new information or when existing ideas are challenged. A Self-regulated Learning Module 27 Stages of cognitive development- they reflect the increasing sophistication of the child’s thought process.  SENSORIMOTOR(0-2 yrs old)- the child learns by doing: looking,sucking, touching. Object Permanence emerges.  PREOPERATIONAL(2-7 yrs old)- the child uses language and symbols.  CONCRETE OPERATIONS (7-11 yrs old)- the child demonstrate conservation, reversibility, serial ordering , understanding of cause and effect.  FORMAL OPERATIONS(12+ )- the individual demonstrate abstract thinking (ex. Ability to understand hypothetical situations). B.HARTER’S SELF DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT Dr.Susan Harter (1999) detailed the emergence of self-concept. The development of self-concept according to Harter is as follows: EARLY CHILDHOOD- the child describes the “self” in terms of concrete, observational characteristics, such as physical attributes (ex. I am pretty/ugly/strong), material possessions (ex. I have lots of toys). MIDDLE TO LATER CHILDHOOD- the self is described in terms of trait like constructs(e.g. smart, honest, friendly, smart). ADOLESCENCE- this is the emergence of more abstract self- definitions, such as inner thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and motives. EMERGING ADULTS- the marked characteristics of “self” for emerging adults is having a vision of a “possible self”; the “age of possibilities”. C. WILLIAM JAMES AND THE ME-SELF; I-SELF William James is “the father of American psychology”. According to James, the ‘self’ has two elements: 1. I-SELF- it is the pure ego, it is the subjective self, It is the “self” that is aware of its own actions. FOUR FEATURES:  A sense of being the agent or initiator of behavior- I believe my actions have an impact  A sense of being unique  A sense of continuity- I am the same person from day to day A Self-regulated Learning Module 28   A sense of awareness about being aware- I understand what is going on in me and around me. 2. ME-SELF- it is the self that you can describe such as your physical characteristics, personalities, social role, or relationships, thoughts, feelings The dimensions of the me-self include: Material- physical appearance and extensions of it such as clothing, immediate family, and home; Social- social skills and significant interpersonal relationships; and Spiritual- personality, character, defining values. D. CARL ROGERS-PERSONALITY DEVELOPMENT AND THE SELF CONCEPT Carl Rogers was an American psychologist and among the founders of Humanistic Psychology- this approach highlighted the individual’s innate drive toward self- actualization and the process of realizing and expressing one’s own capabilities and creativity. Rogers divided the self into two categories: the ideal self and the real self. The IDEAL SELF is the person you would like yourself to be; the concept of the “best me” who is worthy of admiration. The REAL SELF is the person you actually are, it is how you behave right at the moment The importance of alignment: According to Rogers, “ If the way that I am (the real self) is aligned with the way that I want to be (the ideal self), then I will feel a sense of mental being or peace of mind. When your REAL SELF and IDEAL SELF are very similar you experience CONGRUENCE. When there is a great inconsistency between your IDEAL and REAL SELVES, then you experience INCONGRUENCE. According to Allport, a “trait” is your essential characteristic that never, ever changes and sticks with you all your life. E. ERIC BERNE-THE EGO STATES Psychiatrist Eric Berne develop his transactional analysis model as a basis of understanding behavior. Transactional analysis is anchored on two notions: 1. Every person has three parts called “ego states” in his/her personality. 2. People communicate with one another assuming roles of any of the ego states. A Self-regulated Learning Module 29 TYPES OF EGO STATES:  THE PARENT EGO STATE- is the voice of authority, it could be comforting voice or a “ controlling/critical parent” voice that tells what you should or you should not do.  THE ADULT EGO STATE- is the rational person, it is the voice that speaks reasonably and knows how to assert herself/himself.  THE CHILD EGO STATES o THE NATURAL CHILD- who loves to play but is sensitive and vulnerable o THE LITTLE PROFESSOR- the curious child who wants to try everything. o THE ADAPTIVE CHILD- the one who reacts to the world, he/she could be trying to fit in or is rebelling against authority.

Discuss the eastern and western concept of self. 2.Compare and contrast how the self has been represented by the western and eastern perspectives. A. WESTERN CONCEPT OF THE SELF  Ancient Philosophers see humans as the bearers of irreplaceable values.  Thomas Aquinas believed that the body constitute individuality.  The individual was the focus of Renaissance thought, for example Rene Descartes’ famous “I think, Therefore I am”. This is the epitome of the Western idea of the self.  The western tradition is acknowledged to be “imbued with a style of thinking based on dichotomy and binary opposition”.  Frank Johnson (1985) outlined four categories on how the term ‘self’ is used in contemporary western discussion. 1. Analytical- the tendency to see reality as an aggregate of parts. The ‘self’ is an observer separate and distinct from external objects. 2. Monotheistic- the tendency toward unitary explanation of phenomena and a closed-system view of ‘self’ as modelled after a unitary, omnipotent power (“Man was created by God, in his image”) 3. Individualistic- A quality of western thinking where self-expression and self- actualization are important ways of establishing who one is. A Self-regulated Learning Module 33  4. Materialistic/Rationalistic – western thinking tends to discredit explanations that do not use analytical-deductive modes of thinking (Goldin, 2000). B.EASTERN SELF CONCEPT  The earliest religious writing s in the East are the Vedas. It formed the Hindu philosophy and dharma (the principle of cosmic order).  The chants and hymns in the Vedas illustrate the eastern mind set of a nondual universe but rather a creation that is completely unified with the creator, with no distinction.  According to this sacred Hindu texts, the true nature of humans is described as “Brahman” which is the divine universal consciousness encompassing the universe. The “Brahman” is the Self that is all within us. Thus, the main points of Hinduism is “change your perception of the world to perceive the Brahman in oneself and others”.  Buddhism is composed of the teaching of Buddha. In Buddhist traditions, the ‘self’ is not an entity, a substance, or essence. Rather, the ‘self’ is a dynamic process. It is interdependent and ever changing. - The doctrine called anatta which is defined as “no-self or no-soul”. Anatta is a concept that the sense of being a permanent, autonomous ‘self’ is an illusion. It is the teaching that there is no eternal, unchanging ‘self/soul’ inhabiting our bodies or living our lives.  In Confucianism, the quest for the ‘self’ in terms of substance of spirit, of body, or of essence does not exist (The qualities that forms a person’s character are not something that exist inherently, it is something that is formed through upbringing and the environment). - Confucian philosophy presented the idea that every person is born with four beginnings. These are: 1. Heart of compassion that leads to Jen; 2. Heart of righteousness that leads to Yi; 3. Heart of propriety that leads to Li; and 4. Heart of wisdom that leads to Chih - Jen means goodwill, sympathy towards others, politeness and generosity. Yi means rightness and the respect of duty (you must respect your position as a guardian toward nature and humanity). Li means having the right to practice propriety in all that you do. The Chih means wisdom; this wisdom is expressed by putting jen, yi and li into practice. A Self-regulated Learning Module 34  - Personality (in the Confucian perception) is an achieved state of moral excellence rather than a given human condition. The Confucian concept of self is embedded within the family and society, and it is only in that context that the self comes to be what it is.  TAOISM rejects a hierarchical view of the self, society or cosmos. Unlike Confucianism, Taosim does not regard the ‘self’ as an extension of social relationship. Rather, the ‘self’ is but one of the countless manifestation of the Tao. It is an extension of the cosmos (or the universe seen as a well-ordered whole). According to Chuang-tzu, “The perfect man has no self; the spiritual man has no achievement; the true sage has no name.” The ideal is SELFLESSNESS.  The Arabic word for the word ‘self’ is Nafs written in the Holy Qu’ran. It pertains to the psyche (the totality of the conscious and unconscious human mind) or the soul. - The Qu’ran does not ascribe any property of goodness or evil to the ‘nafs/self’. Instead, the ‘nafs’ is something which has to be nurtured and self- regulated so that it can progress into becoming “good” through its thoughts and actions. - The “self” in Islamic tradition is used both in the individualistic and collectivistic sense. A. COLLECTIVISM - Collectivism refers to the extent that we value our duty to groups which we belong, and to group harmony. - Highly collectivist people define themselves by their group membership and value harmonious relationship within those groups. B. INDIVIDUALISM - Individualism refers to the extent that you value independence and personal uniqueness. Highly individualist people value personal freedom, self- sufficiency, control over their lives, and appreciation of their unique qualities that distinguish them from others. THE TWO DOMINANT SELF-CONCEPTS ARE:  Individualistic Self  Collective Self A Self-regulated Learning Module 35  INDIVIDUALISTIC SELF- individualistic cultures emphasize the moral worth of the individual. Individualists encourage asserting one’s goals and desires. Individualistic culture are oriented around the individual (a person should be independent instead of having the mentality of identifying with a group). COLLECTIVE SELF- A study conducted by Patricia Licuanan, a Filipino psychologist and educator determined that one of the strengths of the Filipino character is our deep love and concern for the family. To the Filipino, one’s family is the source of personal identity, the source of emotional and material support. - People in collectivistic culture emphasize the interdependence and harmonious relatedness with one another.

Explore the physical development of self. 2. Identify the different factors that impact the development of self. The Physical Self  Is the tangible aspect of the person which can be directly observed and examined (Singh, 2009)  Physical development on the other hand refers to the quantitative biological changes that underlie psychological development as well. Quantitative development encompasses  Refers to the – the physical structure and material substances of the human being  Physical development rapidly happens when fertilization has occurred. Prenatal development is divided into three stages: germinal stage, embryonic stage, and the fetal stage Prenatal Stages 1. Germinal Stage  begins when the ovum is penetrated by a sperm in the fallopian tube and begins its journey, as a zygote (the single-celled organism formed from the union of the egg and sperm)  the zygote travels down to the uterus where it gets implanted, happens during the 1 st two weeks together with the formation of the placenta (the sac which envelopes the developing baby allows nutrients, oxygen, and waste materials to pass from the mother to baby via the umbilical cord) 2. Embryonic Stage  occurs during the 2nd-8th week of pregnancy and the developing cell is now called and embryo  major organs and body systems begin to develop: respiratory, digestive, and nervous system  this is a critical stage in prenatal development because teratogens can harm the developing embryo  teratogens are external agents such as radiation and drugs which can harm the embryo A Self-regulated Learning Module 40 List of Major Known Teratogens source: www. columbia.edu 3. Fetal Stage  covers the 9th week to the 38th week of pregnancy  end of 12th week all the are already formed and in proportion to the fetus, though some organ systems are still not fully functional  12th week: increased activity in the womb such a slight kicking and fluttering of the infant known as quickening A Self-regulated Learning Module 41   Vision is the last to develop during this stage. On the average, babies acquire full sense of sight around six months after birth source: Moore& Persaud, 1998 Risk Factors During Pregnancy a. Mother’s Age  More than enough studies have revealed that the age of a mother impacts on an infant’s well-being during pregnancy  Too young and the mother is most likely to have a difficult birth because the bodies of teenagers are still not mature enough to nurture an infant.  Too old and the mother is most likely to suffer from prenatal complications such gestational diabetes and pregnancy induced hypertension  Pregnancy during adolescence and after 35 increases significantly the risk of atypical prenatal development, and both younger and older women are more likely to give birth prematurely.  The risk of having a child with Down’s Syndrome increases with maternal age b. Fetal Malnutrition  a diet of 2,700 to 3,000 calories a day that contains adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals to ensure the development of a healthy child (Fifer, 2005)  fetal malnourishment produces infants who are often lethargic, have aversive cries, and are slow to develop A Self-regulated Learning Module 42 c. Maternal stress Stress decreases nutrients and oxygen going to the placenta and results in premature birth and low birth-weight Maternal stress prevents nutrients to pass from the baby to the mother. The mother’s weakened immune system and hormonal fluctuations makes the fetus vulnerable as well. d. Environmental Risk Factors  Birth defects occur in 3% to 5% of all newborns, and about 10% of those are caused by teratogens (Fifer, 2005), substances that come into contact with the fetus through the mother that interfere with typical development  Potential results of exposure to teratogens: Miscarriage, Low infant birth weight, Premature birth, Physical malformations (internal: for example, brain; and external, for example, limbs) Damage to visual and/or audition systems, Delay or damage of physical development (for example, slow growth), Delay or damage of cognitive development (for example, mental retardation) Higher vulnerability of regulatory systems (for example, attention, arousal level, mood) Genes the basic biochemical units of heredity. Genes are reproduced and passed along from parents to their children. Chromosomes are threadlike structures found in every cell of your body, except in red blood cells. All chromosomes contain strands of the molecule deoxyribonucleic acid, or DNA. Changes Occurring During Physical Development a. Changes in the Brain and Body Size  not all parts of the body grow at the same rate  Height: sharp increase during infancy and adolescence  Brain and Head: rapid growth during the prenatal period until the preschool years  Reproductive organs: no change during childhood, but rapid changes happened again during puberty b. Skeletal and Dental Changes the skeleton starts out as soft cartilage which eventually undergoes ossification (bone tissue formation) skeletal development reaches a maximum usually in late adolescence or early adulthood Gaps between bones get smaller as children age. The disappearance of growth plates signals the end of skeletal development A Self-regulated Learning Module 43  another reliable measure of physical age: from 7 months onwards, primary teeth appear; 6th year: secondary teeth appear, complete loss of primary teeth happens until the 12th year c. Changes in Proportion  Cephalocaudal development begins during the prenatal stage, in humans, large brains relative to body size must continually develop to promote survival  Proximodistal development is focused toward the center of the body (from the chest to arms and legs) source: Bjorklund & Blasi, 2012 Psychological Consequences of Physical Growth During Adolescence a. Changes in Body Image Definition: it refers to one’s mental picture of one’s physical body as well as one’s attitude towards the physical body Body image is influenced by culture, media, and interactions with family members Each culture develops social ideals or standards in relation to body image and these often have a profound impact on an adolescent Looking good and being beautiful is simply not limited by physical looks but also inherent personal characteristics Some cultural standards of beauty: Ex. USA – emphasizes thinness as the idea body image for women French – take pride in their fashion style of having well-made, well- tailored attire Japan – being told that one has a small face (kogo) is considered as high praise among women England – (during the Renaissance), women believed in having large pupils, thus they squeezed Belladonna extract into their eyes to increase pupil dilation Africa – women are forcibly fed so that they gain weight, the bigger the body, the more beautiful the Woman Modelling industry – “size 0” among models was initially the most ideal A Self-regulated Learning Module 44  body image b. Some findings Body image dissatisfaction is correlated with eating disorders (Furnham, Badmin @ Sneade, 2002 as cited by Pestano & Wong, 2018) such Anorexia (characterized by self- induced weight loss) and Bulimia (eating excessively and then forcing oneself to vomit) Filipino youth have a healthy body image (YAFS, 2014) If you are female, babies will gaze longer (Slater et al., 1998) Smell is an important part of the attraction to certain women. (Karremans, 2010 a cited by Bergner, 2010). In a similar research by National Geographic, women were asked to smell the sweaty shirt of males and were asked to indicate which scent they were most attracted to. c. A healthy body image starts with  an awareness about the good things about one’s body  acceptance that bodies come in different shapes and sizes  feeling good about the body by engaging in a healthy lifestyle: exercise, balanced diet, enough sleep, and maintaining a positive attitude towards the body Sources: Alata, E.J.P., Caslib, B.N.Jr.; Serafica, J.P.J. & Pawilen, R.A.

Discuss the physical and sexual changes of a person and other factors that influences growth and development. 2. examine how sexuality influences a person in shaping his/her identity. 3. Demonstrate critical, reflective thought in identifying a healthy sexual self. The Sexual Self  during the childhood years, physical growth slowly progresses but by the time young people reach the adolescence stage, rapid growth and development begin to take place. In adolescents, this happens during the onset of puberty – the physical process that happens from 10 to 18 years old. Puberty is derived from the Latin word “pubescere” which means “to grow hairy.”  During adolescence, a rapid growth spurt happens: rapid increments in height, weight gain and sexual maturity are observed. Thus, it is the endocrine system which figures prominently during adolescence stage. The endocrine system is responsible for hormone production in the body.  Puberty is marked by the activation of the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal system thus a biological revolution is taking place: a. Leptin, a hormone produced by fat cells in the body triggers the hypothalamus to produce Gonadotrophin – a hormone responsible for pubertal changes (Medicine.net, 2012) b. once a threshold of body fat is achieved in middle childhood, Gonadotropin- releasing hormone is triggered c. The pituitary gland, also known as the master gland, is responsible for growth  Significantly, hormone levels begin to rise during adolescence a. Females: Estrogens are especially important, for maturation of the uterus, ovaries, and fallopian tubes. Progesterone, plays an important role in regulating menstruation and preparing the uterus for a fertilized egg. A Self-regulated Learning Module 47  b. Males: Androgens, especially testosterone, are important in the maturation of the penis and testes, and they enhance sexual feelings. 1.

Some factors contributing to delayed onset of puberty a. an inherited tendency (late puberty may run in your family) b. having a long-term illness, such as cystic fibrosis (a hereditary disorder associated with lung congestion and malabsorption of nutrients by the pancreas), diabetes, or kidney disease c. malnutrition, possibly from an eating disorder, or a chronic illness such as cystic fibrosis d. over-exercising, such as in the case of professional athletes and gymnasts e. tumours or other internal damage to your glands f. hormonal conditions, such as an underactive thyroid gland g. a genetic condition that affects sexual development, such as androgen insensitivity syndrome (a rare condition where a person is genetically male, but their body is insensitive to male sex hormones) A Self-regulated Learning Module 48 3. The Social Construction of Gender  Starts from the biological determination of sex (XX for females and XY for males). However, there are people who are born and have Turner’s Syndrome (i.e. a female having only one X or an incomplete X) or Klinefelter’s Syndrome (i.e. a male having both XX and XY chromosomes)  Some distinctions: a. Sex refers to the biological categories of female and male, categories distinguished by genes, chromosomes, and hormones b. Gender, by contrast, is a much more fluid category. It refers to the social categories of male and female c. Gender role refers to the expectations that go along with being male versus female.  One’s attitudes toward gender can be classified as a. traditional (i.e. men’s sphere is work and women’s sphere is the home), b. egalitarian (i.e. power is distributed equally between women and men, and women and men identify equally with the same spheres), or c. transitional (i.e. that it is acceptable for women to devote energy to both work and family domains, but women should hold proportionally more responsibility for the home, and men should focus proportionally more of their energy on work.
