Lecture Outline
I. What Is Self-Concept?
Self-concept is the way one conceives of (or see) himself or herself; this view of oneself
is the foundation of all his or her thoughts about himself or herself, including his or her
self-esteem. Self-concept and self-esteem affect people’s relationships, work, and nearly
every part of their lives.
Everyday actions also tend to affect one’s self-concept; in turn, one’s self-concept affects
the things that one does. Once this cycle gets started, it is difficult to stop. One needs to
examine ways of stopping it, or at least minimizing the effects of the vicious cycle.

Chapter 02 - Self-Concept and Self-Esteem in Human Relations
A. Ideal Self
Everyone has some notion of what he or she would like to become. For some people,
the image of the ideal self is sharp and clear; they know the changes they need in their
lives and what they must do to make them happen. Many people, though, have a less
clear picture of their ideal self, and still others have an unrealistic idea of what they
want to become. One common mistake is to think that you have already reached your
ideal, when actually you still have a long way to go. Another is to create an ideal self
that is unrealistic and unattainable.
B. Looking-Glass Self
The looking-glass self is the self that a person assumes others see when they look at
him or her. It is also affected by one’s view of reality. Some people assume that others
think well of them much more than is true, while many more tend to assume the
opposite. For most people, the looking-glass self is much more negative than it
deserves to be.
C. Self-Image
One’s self-image is the way he or she truly feel about himself or herself. It can be
programmed by one’s day-to-day behavior and by the things one says to oneself or
others.
D. Real Self
The real self is a person as he or she really is, when nobody is around to approve or
disapprove of his or her actions. Just as with the ideal self, what one thinks of oneself
or what one presents to others is not necessarily what is real.
Carl Rogers, a well-known psychologist, developed ideas about the self-concept in the
mid to late 1900s that are still in use today. He believed that people get little bits of
information all the time about their real selves from their experiences in the world.
Rogers believed that in order to have a healthy self-concept, people need to work on
making the ideal and real selves much closer. This can be done by paying more attention
to messages about one’s real self, adjusting one’s ideal self to fit the reality, and working
up to a more realistic and attainable ideal.
