THE SELF-CONCEPT IN PSYCHOLOGY

SELF-CONCEPT- how we think about and evaluate ourselves. To be aware of oneself is to have a concept of oneself. 2 PROPONENTS OF SELF-CONCEPT 1. Lewis 2. Carl Rogers Lewis (1990) suggests that development of a concept of self has 2 aspects 1. The Existential Self- most basic part of the self-scheme or self-concept- “the sense of being separate and distinct from others and the awareness of the constancy of self” (Bee 1992) 2. The Categorical Self- having realized that he or she exists as a separate experiencing being. Carl Rogers (1959) believed that self-concept has 3 different components: 1. SELF-IMAGE- the view you have of yourself a. Physical Description- physical attributes of a person that can be seen by the naked eye (e.g., tall; dark, blue eyes, etc.) b. Social Roles • We are all social beings whose behavior is shaped to some extent by the roles we play (i.e., role as student, housewife, etc.) c. Personal Traits • Third dimension of our selfdescription • “I’m impulsive. I’m generous.” 2. IDEAL SELF- what you’d like to can be influenced by: • Ways in which others react to us • How we think compare to others • Social roles • Extent to which we identify with other people 3. SELF-ESTEEM AND SELF-WORTH- the extent to which you value yourself a. High Self-esteem- positive view of ourselves. This tends to lead to: • Confidence in your own abilities • Not worrying about what others think • Self-acceptance • Optimism b. Low Self-esteem- negative view of ourselves. This tends to lead to: • Lack of confidence

most useful models describing the process of human interaction A four-paned “window,” divides personal awareness into 4 different types, as represented by its four quadrants: open, blind, hidden, and unknown

1. Open/Free Area- what is known by the person about him/herself and is also known by others (open area, open self, free area, free self or the “arena” 2. Blind Area- what is unknown by the person about him/herself but which others know (blind area, blind self, or the “blindspot”) 3.

ROOTS OF THE FILIPINO CHARACTER 1. Family & Home Environment The main components of the home environment: •

•

Child rearing practices o Child rearing can be both difficult and rewarding at the same time. The goal of every parent is to have their child grow up to be a respectable and resourceful adult in society o Child rearing in the Filipino family is characterized by: ▪ High Nurturance ▪ Low independence training ▪ Low discipline Family relations o In a large family where we are encouraged to get along with our

o

o

siblings and other relatives, we learn pakikipagkapwa-tao In an authoritarian setting, we learn respect for age and authority, at the same time, we become passive and dependent on authority Children are taught to value family and to give it primary importance

2. The Social Environment The main components of the social environment are: • •

Social structures Social systems such as: o Interpersonal religious o Community interactions

3. Cultural and Language Filipino culture rewards such as: •

•

Traits and corresponding behavioral patterns develop because they make one more likable and enable life to proceed more easily An openness to the outside which easily incorporates foreign elements without a basic consciousness of our cultural core

Language • • •

Language and culture cannot be separated. Language is vital to understanding our unique cultural perspectives. Language is a tool that is used to explore and experience our cultures and the perspectives that are embedded in our cultures

4. History We are the product of our colonial history, which is regarded by many as the culprit behind our lack of nationalism and our colonial mentality. Colonialism developed a mindset in the Filipino which encouraged us to think of the colonial power as superior and more powerful. 5. Educational System Aside from the problems inherent in the use of a foreign language in our educational system, the educational system leads to other problems for us as a people. The lack of suitable local textbooks and dependence on foreign textbooks, particularly in the higher school levels.

Aside from the influence of the formal curriculum, there are the influences of the “hidden curriculum,” i.e., the values taught informally by the Philippine school system: • •

Schools are highly authoritarian, with the teacher as the central focus The Filipino student learns passivity and conformity

6. Religion Religion is the root of Filipino optimism and its capacity to accept life’s hardships. However, religion also instils in the Filipinos attitudes of resignation and a pre-occupation with the afterlife. We become vulnerable also to being victimized by opportunism, oppression, exploitation, and superstition 7. Economic Environment Many Filipino traits are rooted in the poverty and hard life that is the lot of most Filipinos. Our difficulties drive us to take risks , impel us to work very hard, and develop in us the ability to survive Poverty, however, has also become an excuse for graft and corruption, particularly among the lower rungs of the bureaucracy. 8. Political Environment The Philippine political environment is characterized by a centralization of power. Political power and authority are concentrated in the hands of the elite and the participation of most Filipinos often is most limited to voting in elections. 9. Mass Media It is the primary means of communication used to reach the vast majority of the general public. The most common platforms for media are newspapers, magazines, radio, television, and the latest is the internet 10. Leadership and Role Models Filipinos look up to their leaders as role models. Political leaders are the main models, but all other leaders serve as role models as well. Thus, when our leaders violate the law or show themselves to be self-serving and driven by personal interest- when there is lack of public accountability- there is a negative impact on the Filipinos.

PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN Personal Development Plan- helps you map out a path towards your version of success, it allows you to make better decisions, and prevents you from taking backwards steps Steps to Writing a PDP: 1. Set your goals 2. Prioritize these goals 3. Set yourself deadlines for when you want to achieve them 4. Recognize threats and opportunities 5. Develop your skills or increase your knowledge 6. Use your support network 7. Measure your progress NATIONALISM AND PATRIOTISM PROGRAM When someone loves his country, is he a patriot or a nationalist? In fact, there is no definite answer to this question. Patriotism and Nationalism are 2 words that have very similar meanings but also very different connotations, with one being positive and the other being negative. So, it is wrong to call a patriot a nationalist and vice versa; if you call someone a nationalist, they can take it as an insult PATRIOTISM - love someone feels for their country that is based on the idea that this country itself is good and that good people live there Examples: They showed patriotism to their country. When it comes to talking about patriotism, he’s an extremist. His new book is a demonstration of his patriotism. We will promote patriotism, collectivism, and socialist ideology. The most successful newspaper stories are often declamations of patriotism.

NATIONALISM - love and affection for one’s country, but it’s based on the idea that this particular country is better than all the rest Examples: Nationalism was rapidly becoming a dangerous force. The country was gripped by a frenzy of nationalism. His speech presented racist ideas under the guise of nationalism. Extreme nationalism is the single greatest danger to peace in the modern world. The novel is really a dissection of nationalism.

Patriotism • •

Came from the Latin word “pater” which means “father” It is the willingness and determination to lay down one’s life for the fatherland- the constant resolve to sacrifice one’s life and limb for the preservation of the country.
