 Have you ever asked yourself, “Who am I?” Does it come to the point of your life
that you hardly understand yourself? Yes, it happens to everyone especially at
the hardest point of one’s life. Yet, this can be avoided if from the start of your
middle adolescence you have developed your self-concept. You may think that you
are what you think, but people may perceive in a different way and this has some
effect in your life especially with regards to your social, emotional and spiritual
aspects of life development which will be discussed in the next module.

Figure 1: Source: (Abdelaziz, 2014)

What is self- concept?

Self-concept is an overarching idea we have about who we are—physically,
emotionally, socially, spiritually, and in terms of any other aspects that make up
who we are (Neill, 2005). We form and regulate our self-concept as we grow-up,
based on the knowledge we have about ourselves. It is multidimensional, and can
be broken down into these individual aspects, as shown in figure 1.

Self-concept is related to several other “self” constructs, such as self-esteem,

self-image, self-efficacy, and self-awareness. (Courtney E. Ackerman M. , 2020)

4
 As self-concept is related to
other self, can you tell the
difference?

Self-Concept vs. Self-Esteem

Self-concept is not self-esteem, although self-esteem may be a part of self-

concept. Self-concept is the perception that we have of ourselves, our answer when
we ask ourselves the question “Who am I?”

It is knowing about one’s own tendencies, thoughts, preferences and habits,

hobbies, skills, and areas of weakness. According to Carl Rogers, founder of client-
centered therapy, self-concept is an overarching construct that self-esteem is one of
the components of it (McLeod, 2008).

Self-Concept vs. Self-Image

Self-image is related to self-concept but is less broad. Self-image is how an

individual sees themselves, and it does not have to align with reality.

A person’s self-image is based on how they see themselves, while self-

concept is a more comprehensive evaluation of the self, largely based on how a
person sees themselves, values themselves, thinks about themselves, and feels
about themselves.

Carl Rogers posited that self-image is a component of self-concept, along

with self-esteem or self-worth and one’s “ideal self” (McLeod, 2008).

Self-Concept vs. Self-Efficacy

Self-concept is a more complex construct than self-efficacy. While self-

efficacy refers to an individual’s judgments of their own abilities, self-concept is
more general and includes both cognitive (thoughts about) and affective (feelings
about) judgments about oneself (Bong & Clark, 1999).

Self-Concept vs. Self-Awareness

Self-awareness also influences self-concept. It is the quality or trait that

involves conscious awareness of one’s own thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and traits
(Cherry, 2018A). To have a fully developed self-concept (and one that is based in
reality), a person must have at least some level of self-awareness.

5
 To understand self-concept in a simple perspective, let us discuss self-
image or actual self, ideal self and self-esteem. Every time you look at the
mirror, what do you see? Is it your actual self or ideal self? Definitely you are seeing
your self-image which comprises of different attributes. The physical traits which is
tangible and that you have nurtured, your intelligence, behavior, your emotion and
how you deal with other people. This is also your faith and beliefs. Generally this
includes the aspects of your personality that you manifested and how people are
seeing at you. Though, there will be a mismatched in how you look at yourself and
how people reacted on you. Self-image is actually influenced by experiences that
the reason why perceptions differs.

On the other hand ideal self is what a person wants to be. This is usually the
image we want to create. The ideal self could include components of what our
parents have taught us, what we admire in others, what our society promotes, and
what we think is in our best interest. Example, you look at your father as an idol
and you want to achieve the same success he has attained, your favorite celebrity
for being smart and acted the way that person used to be.

In order for the person to be an effective this two selves must be congruent.
The process is complex as it is influenced by several factors which include social
roles, religious, physical, intellectual and even economical. The two selves must
negotiate in order not to end up failure. If the ideal self is not aligned with the
actual self it must be adjusted and readjusted depended upon the situation.

Why it is necessary for the two selves be aligned? It is human nature to

acquire self-actualization which enhances his self-
confidence.
"The organism has

different ways according to our personality. Rogers believed
that people are inherently good and creative.

They become destructive only when a poor self-

concept or external constraints override the valuing process.
Carl Rogers believed that for a person to achieve self-actualization
they must be in a state of congruence.

This means that self-actualization occurs when a person’s “ideal self” (i.e.,
who they would like to be) is congruent with their actual behavior (self-image).

Rogers describes an individual who is actualizing as a fully functioning

person. The main determinant of whether we will become self-actualized is
childhood experience.

6
 Rogers believed that every person could achieve their goal. This means that
the person is in touch with the here and now, his or her subjective experiences and
feelings, continually growing and changing.

If the goals are not achieved definitely a person will experience distress and
anxiety. Thus, he/she will not function effectively.

PERSONAL EFFECTIVENESS
To become successful one has to use the resources at their disposal
effectively so as to achieve their goals in the shortest time possible and with
minimum waste. To get a better understanding of personal effectiveness and how it
can be achieved, let’s take a look at the top 10 traits exhibited by personally
effective people.

TRAITS OF
PERSONALLY
EFFECTIVE PEOPLE

Source: (Personal Effectiveness: 10 Traits, 2016)

Determination. Personally effective people are highly determined. This

means that despite trials and hindrances a person can still have focus on achieving
his specific goals. Example, despite of financial difficulty of the family, student who
wants to pursue his college study will work harder to achieve it. Nothing can make
someone to stop achieving his goal. This is associated with self-discipline.

Self-confidence. This is a result of self-awareness which means knowing s

abilities, capabilities and judgments that he can perform the task effectively. It is
believe that a person with self-confidence will experience happiness and success. It
is manifested in appearance, speech, gait, dressing and physical condition.

Optimism. This means thinking positively. Giving meaning to what had

happened positively or negatively. Example, for the failure you had committed it is
better to think that there is reason for it and lesson to learn from it. It is by
believing that the future can be better will you step up and take the responsibility
for making it so.

7
 Managing stress. Stress is part of life as due to diversity in all aspects of
life. We are dealing with different people, culture, society and religion that cause
stress. The effect of stress can be devastated and makes someone less effective. In
order for someone to perform effectively he must have the skill in managing stress.

Persistence. This means focuses in specific goals. Keep moving forward in

spite of the obstacle along the way of achieving the goals. This also means being
consistent in the decision in order to successfully achieves the goals.

Problem – solving. We can all agree that no matter what you do, regardless
of how simple or complex, problems are likely to arise along the way. It increases
efficiency by adopting new ways of achieving goals when obtaining a new
experience.

Time management. Time management is a person’s ability to plan and

control how they spend their time to effectively accomplish their goals. Without
proper time management, achievement of goals would take too long and thus
negatively affect personal effectiveness.

Planning. They say not planning is planning to fail, and I think they’re right.
Planning should be done for every minute of time you have so as to avoid wastage.
Planning brings you calmness, enables you to achieve more, gives you time to rest
and will greatly increase your personal effectiveness.

Creativity. This is otherwise known as thinking outside the box. To be

effective you have to be different, think differently and let originality and curiosity
into your mind. These traits can be developed by putting yourself in an
environment that allows you to think creatively and allows you to come up with
new ideas, visions and solutions. Effectiveness and creativity go hand in hand.

Self-motivation. Effective people are able to find motivation within

themselves without relying on outside factors. If you can motivate yourself, then
executing goals will be much easier as motivation is what gives you the drive to
keep pushing. Understand what motivates you and use it to push yourself out of
your comfort zone.

and rediscover how you felt at the time. This can be a learning experience
because, as you grow and live through new trials and tribulations, the way that
you react to certain situations may change.

By reading about your past experiences, you can see how you have grown
or mature, and put things into perspective. It’s also nice to have a written
record of your past.

Instructions for keeping the journal:
