Document Summary
3 aspects of the self: self-knowledge: our beliefs about who we are and how we formulate and organize this info self-control: the way in which we make plans and execute decisions self-esteem: how we evaluate ourselves. ** sense of self might be less clear in cultures where the self is perceived as interdependent. In at least 4 primary ways: introspection, observing our own behaviour, social interaction, comparing ourselves with others. Self-awareness theory when do we turn spotlight of consciousness on ourselves we are likely to do so when we encounter something in the environment that triggers self- awareness ex. watching a video of yourself, looking into mirror. Japanese participants, dissatisfaction with the self did not di er depending on whether the mirror was present or not. But this seems so abstract, that ego depletion might not be a thing. Secure self-esteem: high explicit + high implicit (more stable and resistant to threat)
