THE SELF-CONCEPT IN PSYCHOLOGY
Self-concept – is how we think about and evaluate ourselves. To be aware of oneself is to have a
concept of oneself.

Lewis (1990) suggests that development of a concept of self has two aspects:
A. 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 the self” (Bee 1992).

B. The Categorical Self – having realized that he or she exists as a separate experiencing being.
Carl Rogers (1959) believed that self-concept has three 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 (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 (roles as
student, housewife…etc.)
c. Personal Traits
– These are a third dimension of our self-descriptions, “I’m impulsive… I’m generous… etc.
THE SELF-CONCEPT IN PSYCHOLOGY
Carl Rogers (1959) believed that self-concept has three different components:
2. IDEAL SELF - what you’d like to be can be influenced by:
a. Ways in which others react to us
b. How we think compare to others
c. Social Roles
d. 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
• Want to be/look like someone else
• Always worrying what others might think
• Pessimism

your attitude and your responses to them in the moment.

Key Areas of Self-Awareness

 Personality We don’t normally change our personalities, values and needs based
on what we learn about ourselves; but an understanding of our personalities can
help us find situations in which we will thrive, and help us avoid situations in
which we will experience too much stress.
 Values - It’s important that we each know and focus on our personal values. When
we focus on our values, we are more likely to accomplish what we consider most
important.
 Habits - Our habits are the behaviors that we repeat routinely and often
automatically.
 Emotions - Understanding your own feelings, what causes them, and how they
impact your thoughts and actions are emotional self-awareness.
 Needs - On of the advantages of knowing which needs the strongest influence on
our own behaviors is the ability to understand how they affect our interpersonal
relationships.

 Named after the first names of its inventors, Joseph Luft and Harry Ingham, one of
the most useful models describing the process of human interaction.
 A four paned “window,” divides personal awareness into four 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. HIDDEN AREA – what the person knows about him/herself that others do not
know (hidden area, hidden self, avoided area, or “façade”)
 4. UNKNOWN AREA – what is unknown by the person about him/herself and is
also unknown by others (unknown area or unknown self)
VALUES – a person’s principles or standards of behavior; one’s judgement of what is
important in life

FILIPINO VALUES - are cultural norms a group of Filipinos come to accept as standard.
- standards or principles set forth by the Filipino society as basis for
what is right or wrong, the principles on which every member of the Filipino society should
persevere to attain in order to reach the ultimate realization of his life, regarding his person
and in relation to his family and society in general.

FORMATION OF VALUES:
1. Personal Values: Values endorsed by an individual.
2. Moral Values: Values that help determine what is morally right or wrong.
3. Aesthetic Values: values associated with the evaluation of artwork or beauty.
4. Universal Values: They are the set of norms of coexistence that are valid, accepted by a
community at a certain time, but also shared by the vast majority of people around the world.
5. Human Values: Norms and principles that are taught to us from birth and grow as an
intrinsic part of our being.
6. Social Values: set of beliefs broader and accepted by a society that shares common codes.

ROOTS OF THE FILIPINO CHARACTER
 
1. Family & Home Environment
 
The main components of the home environment:
Child rearing practices Child rearing can be both difficult and rewarding at the same time.
The goal of every parent is to have your child grow up to be a respectable and resourceful
adult in society.

Child rearing in the Filipino family is characterized by:

 High Nurturance
 Low independence training
 Low discipline
Family relations
 In a large family where we are encouraged to get along with our 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:
- Interpersonal religious
- Community interaction.
 
3. Culture and Language

Filipino culture rewards such:

• traits and corresponding behavioural 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
mind-set 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 influences 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 - is the root of Filipino optimism and its capacity to accept life's
hardships. However, religion also instils in the Filipino 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 is concentrated in the hands of the elite and the participation of
most Filipinos often is 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 flatforms 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 Filipino.
