LO1 Describe the elements of self-concept and explain how each affects an individual’s behaviorand well-beingSelf-conceptself-beliefsSelf-evaluationsSelf-concept refers to an individual’s self-beliefs and self-evaluations. It is reflected in thequestions “Who am I?” and “How do I feel about myself?” that people ask themselves and thatguide their decisions and actions.Our self-concept is defined at 3 levels: individual, relational, and collective. We view ourselves interms of our personal traits (individual self), connections to friends and co-workers (relationself), and membership in teams, organizations, social groups, and other entities (collective self).Self-concept Complexity, consistency, and clarityAn individual’s self-concept can be described by three characteristics:complexity, consistency,clarity.1.Complexityrefers to thenumber of distinct and important roles or identitiesthat peopleperceive about themselves.Everyone has multiple self-views because they seethemselves in different roles at various times. People are generallymotivated to increasetheir complexity (self-expansion)as they seek out new opportunities and socialconnections.Self-concept complexity isn’t defined only by how many identities a person has; it is alsodefined by theseparationof those identities. An individual with several identities mightstill have low self-concept complexity when those identities are highly interconnected.Although everyone has multiple selves,only some of those identities dominate theirattention at any one time.A person’s various selves are usually domain specific, meaningthat a particular self-view is more likely to be activated in some settings than in others.2.Consistencyis the second characteristic of an individual’s self-concept. High consistencyexists when the individual’s identities require similar personality traits, values, and otherattributes.Low consistencyexists when an individual’s personality and valuesclash withthe type of person he or she tries to become.3.Clarity, the third self-concept characteristic, is the degree to which a person’s self-concept isclear, confidently defined and stable.Clarity occurs we are confident about“who we are,” a describe our important identities to others, and provide the samedescription of ourselves across time.Self-concept clarityincreases with agewith the increasing stability of their values andpersonality and with better self-awareness through life experiences.Self-concept is also clearer when a person’s multiple selves havehigher consistency.Thismake sense because low consistency produces ambiguity about a person’s underlyingcharacteristics.
What does the term self“The individual's belief about himself or herself, including the person's attributes and who and what the self is.” A similar definition comes from Rosenberg's 1979 book on the topic; he says self-concept is: “…the totality of an individual's thoughts and feelings having reference to himself as an object.”
What are the three elements of self evaluation?They are: Locus of control: the extent to which you feel that your own actions influence the results you achieve. Neuroticism: how well you handle negative emotions such as anxiety and anger. Generalized self-efficacy: your confidence to perform well in a variety of situations.
Which characteristic refers to the degree to which a person's selfSelf-concept clarity (SCC) is defined as the extent to which the contents of a person's self-concept “are clearly and confidently defined, internally consistent, and temporally stable” (Campbell et al., 1996, p. 141).
What process involves deciding whether an observed behavior or event is caused mainly by the person or by the environment?The attribution process involves deciding whether an observed behavior or event is caused mainly by the person (internal factors) or the environment (external factors). Attributions are decided by perceptions of the consistency, distinctiveness, and consensus of the behavior.
