Document Summary
Origins of self-knowledge: self knowledge may be derived, nurtured, and maintain. Situationism and the social self: social self changes across different contexts is consistent with the principle of situationism and is supported by abundant empirical evidence. Independent self-construal (west) = uniqueness and independence & internal causes of behavior. Interdependent self-construal = fundamentally connect other people and is important for a person to find a place and fulfill appropriate roles within the community (families, etc. ) Narratives about the social self: mcadam"s suggest that we are continually telling a particular story about our social self as. Looking back: social self originates from a variety of source: parents & socialization agents by virtues by what they teach us, encourage us, and react to us, current situation, and comparing ourselves to other and constructing stories about our lives. Self-esteem: elevating self-esteem is likely to yield many benefits to society.
