What is “self”?
SELF (p. 34) is the sum total of who and what we are, both consciously and unconsciously.– Self varies from person to person and
changes with experience and efforts.
![Page 8: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
What is the framework?
Three basic psychological frameworks to understand self:– Self-concept– Self-esteem– Self-efficacy
![Page 9: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
What is Self-Concept?
SELF-CONCEPT (p. 34) is the relatively stable set of perceptions you have about yourself.
![Page 10: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Describing Me to Me!
Self-concept is the cognitive component of self.
– What words used to describe “self” typically reflect self-concept?
![Page 11: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Functions of Self-Concept
Self-concept serves as interpreter and organizer of information about self in two ways:
– Self-verification– Self-enhancement
![Page 12: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
What is Self-Verification?
SELF-VERIFICATION (p. 35) is the human tendency to seek out and retain information that confirms or verifies our self concept.
![Page 13: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
What is Self-Enhancement?
SELF-ENHANCEMENT (p. 35) is the basic human need to feel good about ourselves.
![Page 14: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
What do you want to be “when you grow up?”
![Page 15: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Possible Selves
POSSIBLE SELVES (p. 35) refer to visions, both positive and negative, of who and what we might become someday (Markus & Nurius, 1986).
![Page 16: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Critical Thinking Questions
What are some of your possible selves? Identify at least one positive possible
self and one negative possible self. How do these possible selves influence
your behavior?
(See page 36)
![Page 17: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
How is Culture Related to Self-Concept? Culture has significant impact on self-
concept. Cultural differences play a role in the
actual function of self-concept. Self-concept functions to improve self
for collectivists and to enhance self for individualists.
Can you think of specific examples?
![Page 18: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The Self-Esteem Continuum
![Page 19: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
What Are the Functions of Self-Esteem? Self-esteem provides feedback about
two things:– Sense of belonging– Sense of meaningfulness
![Page 20: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
What About a Sense of Belonging?SOCIOMETER THEORY (p. 38) posits that self-e
steem acts as a gauge that measures the level of acceptance a person feels from his or her social environment (Leary et al., 1995).
People have a set of sociometers that provide feedback (in form of self-esteem) about effectiveness of social group relationships.
![Page 21: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How Is Self-Esteem Related to Meaningfulness?
Meaning is gained when a person is fully immersed in and enjoying a life task.
Task outcome (specifically if it is successful or not) is less relevant than positive feelings engendered within the process.
![Page 22: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
How Does Self-Esteem Develop?
Self-esteem is strongly influenced by feedback from others.
Signals about a person’s goodness or badness received very early in life.
Carl Rogers called this positive regard.
![Page 23: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
With Best Regards…
POSITIVE REGARD (p. 39) refers to positive feedback, good feelings, and acceptance.
– UNCONDITIONAL POSITIVE REGARD (p. 39) refers to giving positive regard and acceptance at all times and in all situations.
– CONDITIONAL POSTIVE REGARD (p. 39) refers to giving positive regard and acceptance only in certain conditions.
![Page 24: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
What Happens As People Age?
Significant others continue to contribute to self-esteem through “Ego boosters” and “ego busters.”
![Page 25: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So What Does This Tell Us?
Self-esteem can promote happiness, increase persistence, and facilitate speaking in a group.
Self-esteem does not automatically lead to better school performance, influence relationship success, or cause violence.
![Page 26: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
How Is Culture Related to Self-Esteem? Values dictate what is personally important.
– For individualists, the path to self-esteem is related to personal achievement, independent thinking, and being true to oneself.
– For collectivists, self-esteem is achieved by thinking and acting in ways that support one’s social group.
For both cultures, positive self-esteem is derived from behavior that supports cultural norms.
![Page 27: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Self-Efficacy: Where Self-Concept and Self-Esteem Intersect
SELF-EFFICACY (p. 42) is the extent to which we believe we are capable of achieving our goals.
![Page 28: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
And so…
Self-concept = how we think about ourselves (cognitive)
Self-esteem = how we feel about ourselves (emotional)
Self-efficacy = bridge between self-concept and self-esteem by influencing both cognition and emotion
![Page 29: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
What Are the Benefits of Self-Efficacy? High self-efficacy contributes to:
– better grades and achievement of academic goals (Multon et al., 1997).
– positive physical and mental health.
![Page 30: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
How Does Self-Efficacy Develop?
Self-efficacy begins to develop in childhood and continues to be influenced by life experiences.
Self-efficacy can also be raised at any other point in life by setting high, but attainable goals.
![Page 31: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Culture and Self-Efficacy
Cultural group self-efficacy differs.
Self-efficacy is more highly valued in individualistic cultures than in collectivistic cultures.
![Page 32: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Does Uncertainty Avoidance Influence Self-Efficacy?
Low uncertainty avoidance cultures feel less threatened by change and more personally able to influence life outcomes.
High uncertainty avoidance cultures feel less control and optimism about academic abilities.
![Page 33: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)

Self Efficacy
![Page 36: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
What is Self-Knowledge?
SELF-KNOWLEDGE (p. 45) is the conscious knowledge you have about your motivations, beliefs, expectations, values, strengths, and weaknesses.
![Page 37: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Influences of Perceptions
Perceptions are influenced by many factors:
– social comparison– self-perception– discussion of observations and ideas with
others– the Johari Window
![Page 38: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
What is Social Comparison?
SOCIAL COMPARISON (p. 46) involves evaluating yourself based on how you think you compare to others.
– Social reality testing involves making social comparisons with others in order to learn about the world and about the self within it.
– Social reality testing creates conformity pressures because people seek to reduce disagreement between themselves and similar others.
![Page 39: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Culture and Social Comparison
Collectivists engage in social comparison more often than individualists and are more likely to make upward comparisons to benefit the entire group.
Individualists engage in social comparisons less than collectivists, are more likely to make downward comparisons, and judge themselves favorably as they strive toward personal excellence.
![Page 40: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
What is Self-Perception Theory?
SELF-PERCEPTION (p. 47) refers to the assumptions about ourselves based on our observations of our behavior, thoughts, and feelings).
![Page 41: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
The Public Self and the Private Self
PRIVATE SELF (p. 51) refers to the part of our self that is known only to us.
PUBLIC SELF (p. 52) refers to the image we present to the world.
![Page 42: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)

What Then Is Self-Monitoring?
SELF-MONITORING (p. 52) occurs when we utilize different parts of our self, or different public selves, in different situations.
![Page 44: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Erikson’s Three Stages of Adult Development
INTIMACY VS. ISOLATION
GENERATIVITY VS. STAGNATION
INTEGRITY VS. DESPAIR
![Page 45: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/45.jpg)
Levinson’s Theory
Levinson and colleagues:– conducted the first empirical research in the area
of men’s adult development (see The Seasons of a Man’s Life, 1978).
– concluded that a man’s life was comprised of stable periods interspersed with transitional periods.
This theory is grounded in conflict or crisis and limited by its small, exclusively male sample.
![Page 46: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
What Are the Transitional Periods? In the transitional period, men contemplated
recent stable periods, explored what should come next, and prepared to move ahead.
– EARLY ADULT TRANSITION (p. 57): According to Levinson, completion of the major task of adolescence-forming an identity-and working toward becoming an independent, self-reliant person.
– AGE 30 TRANSTION (p. 58): According to Levinson a period of four to five years when a man questions the choices he has made so far, considering what modifications he might make to build a more stable and fulfilled life.
– MIDLIFE TRANSITION (p. 58) is a period of reflection and questioning regarding the life choices made so far.
![Page 47: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
Sheehy’s Theory
Recognizes the role of age in life stages.
Posits that cultural and societal environment interacts with age to produce unique goals and interests for different cohorts at the same chronological age.
![Page 48: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
What Is a Cohort?
COHORT (p. 59) is a group of people born about the same time in history, so that they share common experiences in society at about the same time and age.
![Page 49: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
How does a cohort influence development?
“The playing field is quite different for each generation why its young members start their journey into adulthood.” (p. 59)
Proliferation of technology, relative peace, and advances in medicine have produced revolutionary changes in the adult life cycle.
![Page 50: Caritas Francis Hsu College General Education 2009-2010 PHI1011 Individual and Society](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062321/568133e1550346895d9ad312/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
