Our identity is our all-encompassing system of memories,

“WHO AM I?” experiences, feelings, thoughts, relationships, and values that


define who each of us is. It's the stuff that makes up a “self.”
(Identity)
SELF-CONCEPT
1.) is unique to the individual
2.) can be positive or negative
3.) has emotional, Intellectual,
and functional dimensions
4.) changes with the
environmental context;
5.) changes over time
6.) has a powerful influence on
one’s life.
Humanist psychologist Carl Rogers
believed that there were three
different parts of self-concept:
• 1. 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 necessary
coincide with reality.
2. 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.
3. Ideal self, 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.
Why is self concept important?
Knowing who you are will help you feel that
you have worth and value in this world.
When you can accept yourself for who you
are, it will be easier for others to accept
you, too. Learning about yourself can help
you develop lasting relationships with
others as well as help you make choices
that will direct your life in the path you
want to go.
The benefits of
self concept:
1. 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.
The benefits of self concept:
2. Less inner conflict.
When your outside
actions are in
accordance with your
inside feelings and
values, you will
experience less inner
conflict.
The benefits of self concept:
3. Better decision making. When you
know yourself, you are able to make
better choices about anything, 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.
The benefits of self
concept:
4. 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
The benefits of self concept:
5. 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”.

understanding of
others. Your
