The document discusses the concepts of actual self and ideal self, which make up one's self-concept. The actual self is who someone really is based on their self-knowledge, including how they think, feel, and act, while the ideal self is how someone wants to be and includes influences from parents, admired others, society, and personal goals. Self-concept is the construct that negotiates between these two selves.
