17. Parts of self concept
Humanist psychologist “Carl Rogers "believed
that there are three different parts of self
concept.
• 1.Self-image
• 2.Self-esteem
• 3.Ideal self

18. 1.self-image
• Self-image means” how you see yourself”
• It is important to realize that self-image does not
necessarily coincide with reality.
• Pupil believe about self-image is that they are
better at things than they really are.
• Self-image means person’s own feelings about
him/her self they might be positive or might be
negative.
• Every individual’s self-image is probably a mix of
different aspects including physical
characteristics, personality traits and social roles.

19. Example of self-image
• A teenage boy might believe that he is clumsy
and socially awkward when he is really quite
charming and likeable. A teenage girl might
believe that she is overweight when she is
really quite thin.

20. 2.self-esteem
• Self-esteem means “how much you value
yourself”
• A number of factors can impact self-esteem
including how we compare over selves to others
and how others respond to us.
• when pupil respond positively to our
behaviour,we are more likely to develop positive
self-esteem.
• When we compare our selves to others and find
ourselves lacking, it can have a negative impact
on our self-esteem.

21. Example of self-esteem
• If we take the example of confidence and we
have confidence but if we look others we
think that mine confidence is not as perfect as
other person have and we think we lack it so it
has a very negative impact on our self-esteem.

22. 3.Ideal self
• Ideal self means “how you wish you could be”
• Sometimes it is very difficult for us to think
what is ideal the way we see our ourselves
and how we would like to see ourselves do not
quite match up.

concept.
• Self-concept is unique to the individual.

negative.

individual’s life (Delmar Learning,n.d.)
• Self-concept has emotional,intellectual,and functional
dimensions.

concept
Self concept during Early Childhood
• There are three general stages of self concept
development in early childhood.
• 1.stage 1-2 years old
• 2.stage 2-3 years old
• 3. stage 3-5 years old

25. Ist stage 1-0 to 2 years old
• a. Babies need consistent, loving relationships
to develop a positive sense of self-concept.

the “us” stage, in which they are aware of the
needs and interest of the group.

advanced language to help define themselves
within the context of the group.
(Miller,Church,& Poole,n.d.)

28. Self-concept in Middle childhood
7 to 11 years old
• In this stage children are beginning to develop
a sense of their social selves and figuring out
how they fit in with everyone else.

instead of specific behaviors.
• Development of a personal sense of self.

30. The development of self-concept in
Adolescence
• This is the stage in which individuals play with
their sense of self, experimenting and comparing,
and begin developing the basis of the self-
concept that will likely stay with them throughout
the rest of their life.
• During this period adolescents are prone to
greater self-consciousness and susceptibility to
the influence of their peers, in part due to the
changes happening in the brain.
(Sebastian, Burnett,& Blakemore,2008).

31. Characteristics of self-concept in
adolescence
• They enjoy greater freedom and
independence.

others.
(Manning,2007).

32. Carl Rogers and the self-concept
Theory of Personality
Famous psychologist, theorist and clinician Carl Rogers
posited a theory of how self-concept influences and
acts as the framework for, one's personality.
• The image we have of who we are? is necessarily
contributes to our personality, as the actions we take in
alignment with our personality feed back into our
image of ourselves.
• Carl Rogers believed that our personality is driven by
our desire for self-actualization or the condition that
emerges when we reach our full potential and our self-
concept,self worth, and ideal self all overlap(Journal
Psyche Authors,n.d).

33. Carl Rogers theory
• The way in which we develop our personalities
and self-concept varies, resulting in the unique
individuals we are.
• According to Rogers, we are always striving for
self-actualization---some with more success than
others.
• You might be wondering how pupil go about
striving for self –actualization and congruence;
read on to learn about the ways in which we
maintain our self-concept.
