There is the concept of "man" in psychology, the meaning of which is that the person - a living being, possessing the ability to speak articulately, to create something and use the results of their labor.The man has consciousness, and consciousness is directed at himself - this is the self-concept of the individual.This mobile system assessment in itself their intellectual, physical and other qualities, that is - the self-assessment under the influence of various factors throughout life.Identity of the person subject to the internal fluctuations and affects all forms of life, from early childhood to old age.
today as a basis for consideration of self-identity is taken theory of personality Rogers.The essence of this theory can be seen as a mechanism of consciousness, reflexively operating under the influence of culture, his and others' behavior.That is, simply put, a person gives an estimate of a situation, other people and themselves.Evaluation itself impels him to certain behavior and forms a self-concept.
One of the central concepts in psychology is the self-concept of the individual, although there is still no common terminology and definitions.Himself Carl Rogers believed that his method is effective in dealing with a variety of psycho and is suitable for working with people of different cultures, professions and religions.Rogers formed his views on the basis of their own experience with their customers having any emotional problems.
self-concept of the person - is a structure, the apex of which is the Global I , showing a sense of continuity and self-awareness of their uniqueness.In parallel, the Global I is I image, which is divided into modalities:
- Real Self - this awareness man what he really is, you have an understanding of their psychological characteristics, status, role.
- Mirror I - is the realization that man is, how it is seen by others.
- Perfect I - person view of how he wanted to be.
This structure is applicable only in theory, in practice it is much more difficult, because all the components are intertwined.In fact, the self-concept of the person is a moving system of self-aligning, which, in turn, has its own structure:
- cognitive - cognitive processes of human consciousness.
- Affective - short-term emotional process that has intensified and is manifested physically.
- The activity - any sensible human activity.
cognitive and affective installation absorb three modalities such as self-awareness of this, awareness of self and the desired self-image through the eyes of others, and each of these three modalities concludes mental, emotional, social and physical components.
development of self-concept is developed on the basis of personal characteristics of the individual, as well as under the influence of communication with other individuals.In fact, self-concept, plays a role in achieving the internal coherence of individual experience and treats a factor of expectations.Functionality of this structure is self-consciousness.
