Understanding the Self
What is Self?
- “Self” has many aspects. These
aspects make up the “self’s” integral parts,
such as self-awareness, self-esteem, self-
knowledge, and self-perception.
The Self from Various Perspectives
Two sides of Self: “I’ and “Me”
- Mead sees the person as an active process, not just a
mere reflection of society. He further proposed two
interactive facets of the self: the “I” the and “me.” The
“me” and the “I” have a didactive relationship, which is like
a system of checks and balances.
The Self and the Person in Contemporary
Anthropology
- Anthropology is the study of people, past,
and present. It focuses on understanding the
human condition in its cultural aspects
Self as representation
- Ewing (1989) asserted that a “self” is
illusory. “people construct a series of self-
representations that are based on selected
cultural concepts of person and selected
‘chains’ of personal memories.
The Self Embedded in
Culture
- How individuals see themselves, how they relate
to other people, and how they relate to the environment
are deeply defined by culture.
Development psychologist Catherine Raeff (2010),
believed that culture can influence how you review:
Relationship
Personality Traits
Achievement
Expressing emotions
William James and The Me-Self; I-Self
- According to James (1950), the “self” has two
elements : the I-Self and the Me-Self. I-self is the
pure ego. It is the subjective self. It is the “self” that
is aware of its own actions .
Four I-self characteristically. These are:
A sense of being the agent or initiative of behavior
A sense of being unique
A sense of continuity
A sense of awareness about being aware
Idea self vs. real self
- The idea self is the person that you
like yourself to be.
- Real self is the person you actually
are.
True vs False Selves
- According to Winnicott the “self” is simply
“the person who is me. While the false self is
put up to defend the core form these realities
and prevent it from any changes.
Selective Self-Presentation and
Impression Management
- Self-Presentation behavior is any behavior
intended to create, modify, or maintain an
impression of ourselves in the minds of others.
- Impression Management is the attempt to
control or influence any other people’s
perceptions.
Why do people engage in self-presentation?
- Helps facilitate social interaction
- Enables individuals to attain material and
social rewards; and
- Helps people privately construct desired
identities.
Two main motives of attempting to manage
the impression of others:
Instrumental – This motive is to basically gain
rewards and increase one’s self-esteem.
Expressive – This motivation is about attempting to
be in control of one’s personal behavior and
identity.

Self-efficacy

necessary actions to produce specific performance

Factors that could alter sense of
self-efficacy :

Pattern of successes and failures

memory
