(EDWARD TORY HIGGINS)
The self- discrepancy theory states that individual

“ought self”
ACTUAL SELF = Is the one that you actually see. Born
to have. (How one currently is)
IDEAL SELF = The self that you aspire to be. (How one
would like to be)
OUGHT SELF = (How one believe they should be)

The extent to which the contents
of a person’s self concept are
clearly and confidently defined,
internally consistent and stable.

12. Example of Self Concept Clarity
 I recognize that I excel in leadership roles, which is why I seek
out management opportunities.
 I am reliable friend, always there to support others when they
need it.
 I understand that I am sensitive to criticism, so I approach
feedback with care.
 I am introvert, so I make sure to balance social activities with
plenty of alone time.

13. Steps to Become More Self-Aware

why.
Delay
gratification.
Take feedback
constructively.

know yourself.

14. PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS
Personal Effectiveness means making use of all the
personal resources – talents, skills, energy and time,
to enable you to achieve life goals.
 Our personal effectiveness depends on our innate
characteristics – talent and experience accumulated
to be identified and then developed to be used in a
particular subject area. (science, literature, sports,
politics etc.)

15. EXPERIENCE – includes knowledge and skills that we
acquire in the process of cognitive and practical
activities.
KNOWLEDGE– required for setting goals, defining an
action plan to achieve them and risk assessment.
SKILLS– determine whether real actions are performed
in accordance with the plan. If the same ability is used
many times in the same situation, then it becomes a
habit that runs automatically, subsconsciously.
