Who am I Psychology

Who I actually

question "Who am I?" Everyone asks himself not once in a lifetime.Year three is happening asking for sex.Who am I - a boy or a girl?Next 10-12 years we are trying to find an answer to the question "Who am I - a child or an adult, what I can do?" And the age of 16 becomes the main question, "Who am I?What is my path? ".It was at this time a man, a determination on the following items: 1. gender;2. Professionalism;3.Samorazvitie.

In psychology, the answer to the question "Who am I and what I am" is the essence of such notions as "I" -Concept ("I" is the image, the image of "I").It is a system of representations of the individual himself, aware reflective of the personality.It should be noted that these ideas of himself, more or less understood and are relatively resistant.

Thus, the "I" -Concept determines not just what is an individual, and what he thinks of himself as looking at their active principle and the possibility of future development.

Traditionally distinguish cognitive, evaluative and behavioral components of the "I" -Concept.

Cognitive component - is an individual representation of itself, a set of characteristics that he thinks he has.

estimated - this is how the individual appreciates these characteristics, how to treat them.

Behavioral - this is how people actually arrives.

All that has been said above, it is a theory.And in practice?Try it today to give yourself definition - who am I?

try?And what happened?How many words would your definition of yourself?Two three?Or more?Yes, I say about myself without training hard even to himself.It seems to know who and what you are, but say nice somehow embarrassed.And as everything is clear ... And I understand it?If it is impossible to express in words?

Let seriously prepared for this answer, having made a small (but not too easy) exercise.Go to implement it creatively, with a flight of fancy.

So proceed.Divide a blank sheet into 3 columns.

first will be called "Who Am I".Write it 15-20, the definitions of nouns himself.For example, a man, a husband, an electrician, etc.

The second column will be called "What I".It write 10 adjectives-definition itself.For example, a cheerful, intelligent it.d.

and the third column will be called "What's my way, or my mission."There will be enough 5-6 ways.Here you need to write that guides you through life, your settings, etc.For example, a love of life, faith in God, etc.

Next deleted from the first column 10 irrelevant of definitions, the second - 5, in the third - 3. From the first column, cross out 5 more irrelevant definitions.Thus, in the first column we will have 5 words, in the second - too 5, in the third - 3

Of the remaining three words make proposals in such a way that every sentence became 1-2 words from the first and second columns, and one wayfrom the third.If all of the Cay with the definition itself, we obtain 3 such slogan-motto that will define you in three areas, namely: 1. gender;2.Professionalizm;3.Samorazvitie.
