The technique involves the study of self-identity to consider the structure of the self, consisting of two components.The first is related to himself as a social activity of the subject, and the second - the emotional-valuable attitude to themselves.
Technique of research on self-identity S.A.Budassi is one of the most popular in psychology, and provides an opportunity to conduct a quantitative study of self-esteem.The basis of this method is the principle of the ranking, and the level and adequacy of the determined attitude of the ideal and the real Ya
human representations about themselves always seem convincing him, regardless of whether they are based on objective facts or subjective opinion.Therefore, qualities attributed to the person himself, does not always correspond to reality.
The technique involves self-assessment studies Budassi person that can occur in two ways.The first is to compare their claims with real, objective indicators of its activity.Another way is to compare yourself with other people.

other words, trying to adequately assess themselves, the person is in a constant search for the real action, ie without revaluation overestimated their abilities, but also without over their critics.And it is this self-assessment is the most appropriate and best in specific situations and conditions.Self-esteem "high" and "above average" is the best self-esteem, when one respects himself, and deservedly appreciated primarily pleased with himself.
