Document Summary
Twenty-statements test (tst): a test of self-concept, where participants generate 20 answers to the statement i am ________ . Think about your 20 answers to the question who are you? together, these reflect your self-concept: the set of ideas and inferences that you hold about yourself, including your traits, social roles, schemas, and relationships. We develop sense of self out of physical development and cognitive maturation along with social experience. Mirror test: a test to see if an animal or human infant has sense of self by showing self-directed behaviours while looking in a mirror. Often tested by placing a red spot on the research subject and observing its behaviour. From birth to about 1 years of age infants are developing a sense of physical awareness. Rather than having an awareness of themselves in the world, they are still trying to discern what is part of them and what is part of physical environment.
