2. ●
Self-concept is tied to self-esteem and self-efficacy,
and can lead to cycles of thinking and behaving

3. ●
Self-esteem refers to the judgments and evaluations we
make about our self-concept
●
Self-esteem is a more specific evaluation of the self,
while self-concept is a broader description

4. ●
Our self-esteem is influenced by the importance we
place on different aspects of our self-concept
●
People with higher self-esteem are more likely to work
harder on feedback, handle stress and conflict better,
and work more independently (Brockner, 1988)
●
Self-esteem is also influenced by our perceptions of our
own competence

6. ●
refers to a person's judgments about their ability to
perform a specific task (Bandura, 1997)
●
Judgments about self-efficacy influence self-esteem,
which then influences self-concept
●
Self-perception affects communication, behavior, and
perceptions of others

7. ●
Verbal/nonverbal feedback from others affects feelings
of self-efficacy and self-esteem
●
Positive feedback increases self-efficacy and
engagement, negative feedback decreases it
●
People adjust expectations based on feedback,
affecting future behaviors
●
Mismatches between self-view and external feedback
can impact self-esteem/self-concept

9. ●
The "self" can be understood as the subject of one's own
experience and consciousness. This perspective views the self
as the entity that has experiences, thoughts, and emotions.
●
In other words, being preoccupied with oneself, especially with
how others may perceive one's appearance or actions.

10. ●
Self-consciousness
●
Self-awareness

11. ●
Self-consciousness refers to a heightened awareness of
oneself, encompassing both the recognition of one's existence
and the perception of how one is viewed by others.
●
This concept is distinct from general consciousness, which
pertains to awareness of external stimuli and experiences.

12. ●
Philosophical work on self-consciousness has focused on
identifying and articulating the specific epistemic and
semantic peculiarities that distinguish it from consciousness
of other things.

13. ●
Alleged infallibility of self-consciousness - the idea that our
consciousness of ourselves cannot be mistaken.
●
Self-intimation of self-consciousness - the idea that we are
necessarily conscious of certain facts about ourselves.
●
Recent work has challenged these claims, but some restricted
forms may still hold.

14. ●
Immunity to error through misidentification in our
consciousness of ourselves.
●
The special, de se character of self-regarding consciousness
that cannot be reduced to other kinds.
●
There is debate over whether these are genuine features and
whether they are peculiar to self-consciousness.

15. ●
Historically, self-consciousness was synonymous with self-
awareness, denoting an understanding of one’s existence and
consciousness.

16. ●
However, it has evolved to often describe a preoccupation
with oneself, especially regarding how one is perceived by
others.
●
This can manifest as an acute awareness of one’s
appearance or actions, often leading to feelings of shyness or
embarrassment when one feels observed

17. ●
The experience of one's own personality or individuality
●
Distinct from consciousness/awareness of the body and
environment

18. ●
Self-awareness is the recognition of one's own
consciousness
●
Involves the experience and understanding of one's
own:
○
Character
○
Feelings
○
Motives
○
Desires

Divide a paper into 4 equal sections. In each, quickly
sketch something representing one of these self-
related concepts: self-concept, self-esteem, self-
efficacy, self-consciousness.
●
Below the sketch, write a brief sentence or phrase
below each one explaining your choice of symbol to
represent the corresponding self-related concept
