PHYSICAL SELF
The crucial aspect of self in one’s physical features. People are
often perceived initially by their physical features, including one’s
face, bodily structure, height, weight, and fitness. However, more
than the physical attributes a person possesses, people should
also consider their physical competencies, their valuation of
physical worth, and perception of beauty.

MATERIAL SELF
Symbolic Self-Completion
Commitment to Self-Defining Goals- From Lewin's perspective a goal-specific
tension remains active only as long as the person is involved psychologically in the
pursuit of the goal. Ovsiankina (1928) found that when the task was important
personally to subjects, the resumption effects were strongest. For subjects who
found the tasks to be personally unimportant (i.e., trivial or arbitrary), the resumption
rate was so low that one would be inclined to doubt the presence of a goal-directed
tension system
Symbols of Completeness- These may be defined generally as indicators of one's
standing with respect to a self-defining goals that are potentially recognizable by
others. At a very rudimentary but important level are the simplest self-descriptions
(e.g., a person teaching at a university introduces himself to an audience as
"scientist"). Of course, the human is not solely dependent on these kinds of open
self characterizations. There are numerous abbreviations for immediate social
acknowledgment, many of these describable as "status symbols."
Social Reality- Mahler (1933) found that the tension-reduction potential of a
substitute task depended largely on whether or not solving the substitute task carried
a "social reality". The substitute task had tension-reducing properties only when the
solution was announced to the experimenter. Once others acknowledge the person
for having solved the problem, having solved it becomes a social fact and thus can
serve as a self-defining symbol. This line of thinking can be carried back to Cooley
(1902), who states that self-definitions can come into being and remain stable only
by virtue of the acknowledgment of others.

SPIRITUAL SELF
Spirituality, Religion, and the Supernatural
What Are Religion and Spirituality?
Religion is an organized system of ideas about the spiritual or supernatural
realm that is accompanied by rituals. Through rituals, people attempt to
influence things that they think are beyond their control.
Spirituality also concerns an aspect of the divine and supernatural but is often
times limited to the individual, with no need for any formal organization. This
is the search for meaning and direction in life and the ways by which one may
preserve these. The two are related, although not separate from one another,
spirituality is much more profound than religion

SOCIAL SELF
The Self and Its Social Agency
 Human development is largely influenced by membership in crucial social
groups that shape various aspects of the self; from belief systems, values
orientation, and behaviour.
 At the beginning of life, one already belongs to a social group: his/her family.
It is the most pervading influential social group that impacts the self in its
entire course of development. The views one holds about the world, values
upheld in making choices and decisions, and the habit sand persistent
behaviour one carries have been formed in the context of one’s family and
home environment.
 Next to family, schools and the general academic environment form a
significant part of the social self. Worldviews expand as one gets exposed to
more people in different social learning environment. Knowledge and social
skills gained from mentors, relatives, and peers contribute to how the social
self is harnessed.
 Aside from one’s family and school environments, communities also shape
one’s social self to a large extent.
 The social self inevitably changes as one accommodates and eventually
assimilates beliefs promoted by the society as he/she thinks, appreciates, and
behaves according to standards set by micro and macrosystems.
