Concept of Self

Self-concept is the image that we have of ourselves.

The self-concept is a general term used to refer to how someone thinks about, evaluates or perceives themselves. To be aware of oneself is to have a concept of oneself.

Self concept types

1) Physical Description: It is the awareness about the physical description of one’s body i.e I’m tall, have blue eyes, brown hairs…etc. It is the basic self concept which an individual learns at an early childhood stage.

2) Social Roles: We are all social beings whose behavior is shaped to some extent by the roles we play. Such roles as student, housewife, or member of the football team not only help others to recognize us but also help us to know what is expected of us in various situations.

3) Personal Traits: These are the third dimension of our self-descriptions. “I’m impulsive…I’m generous…I tend to worry a lot”…etc.

4) Existential Statements (abstract ones): These can range from “I’m a child of the universe” to “I’m a human being” to “I’m a spiritual being”…etc.
