    Self - Concept

    Uploaded by

    Elsie Arcenas Etes
    There are three parts to an individual's self-concept: the material self consisting of one's body and possessions, the interpersonal self comprising the views others hold of one, and the intrapersonal self involving one's emotions, desires, and values. Self-concept relates to well-being through components like self-image, self-esteem, intrinsic and instrumental value, and one's ideal self or how one wishes to be seen. Developing a clear self-concept provides benefits such as increased happiness, less inner conflict, better decision-making, self-control, resistance to social pressure, and tolerance/understanding of others.

    SELF -

    CONCEP
    T
    What Is
    Self-
    Self-concept
    The material self

    Our body, possessions,


    and other things in our lives.
    The interpersonal self

    The views
    others hold about
    us.
    The intrapersonal self

    Our emotions, desires,


    needs, values, etc. (Epstein,
    1973)
    Why does
    Self-
    Concept
    Each of us has parts of ourselves that we
    believe are the most important (Epstein,
    1973). For example, an athlete might view
    their athleticism to be of central importance
    to their self-concept, even though they also
    enjoy cooking and are part of a big family.
    How Does Self-Concept
    Relate to Well-Being?
    PARTS OF SELF-CONCEPT
    Self-image, or how you see yourself.
    Each individual’s self-image is a mixture
    of different attributes including our
    physical characteristics, personality
    traits, and social roles. Self-image
    doesn't necessarily coincide with reality.
    Self-esteem, or how much you value yourself.
    A number of factors can impact self-esteem
    including how we compare ourselves to others
    and how others respond to us. When people
    respond positively to our behavior, we are
    more likely to develop positive self-esteem.
    When we compare ourselves to others and
    find ourselves lacking, it can have a negative
    impact on our self-esteem.
    Intrinsic value. This refers to our belief that we
    are a good (or not-so-good) person. If we have
    intrinsic value, then we value ourselves just for
    being who we are. This is also sometimes thought
    of as the extent to which we like ourselves.
    Instrumental value. This refers to our belief that
    we can do good things. If we have instrumental
    value, then we value ourselves because of the
    things we do. This is also sometimes thought of as
    the extent to which we respect ourselves.
    Idealself, or how you wish
    you could be. In many cases,
    the way we see ourselves
    and how we would like to
    see ourselves do not quite
    match up.
    Three Parts of Ideal Self
    The image of our desired future. This may
    include dreams, aspirations, and goals.
    Hope. This includes self-efficacy and optimism
    (beliefs that we can indeed achieve our goals).
    A clear self-concept. This includes an
    understanding of our core identity and
    enduring traits. Our ideal self needs to fit with
    our values, beliefs, and who we are.
    The Benefits of Self-
    Concept
    Happiness.
    You will be happier when you can
    express who you are.
    Expressing your desires will make it
    more likely that you get what you
    want.
    Less inner conflict
    When your outside actions
    are in accordance with your
    inside feelings and values, you
    will experience less inner
    conflict.
    Better decision-making
    When you know yourself, you are able to
    make better
    choices about everything, from small
    decisions like which sweater you’ll buy to
    big decisions like which partner you’ll
    spend your life with. You'll have guidelines
    you can apply to solve life’s varied
    problems.
    SELF - CONTROL
    When you know yourself, you
    understand what motivates you to
    resist bad habits and develop good
    ones. You'll have the insight to know
    which values and goals activate your
    willpower.
    Resistance to social pressure

    When you are grounded in your


    values and preferences, you are less
    likely to say “yes” when you want to
    say “no.”
    Tolerance and understanding of others

    Your awareness of your own


    foibles and struggles can help
    you empathize with others.
