    of self and is what helps make each
    individual unique.

    in the physical, emotional, intellectual,
    and functional dimensions change over
    time.

    and greatly influences health status.
    Dimensions of Self-Concept

     Self-knowledge — “Who am I?”


     Self-expectation — “Who or what do I want
    to be?”
     Social self – How person perceived by
    others?
     Self-evaluation — “How well do I like
    myself?”

    behaviors determined by familial, cultural,
    and social norms.

    upon the self-perception of adequate role
    performance in these various social
    roles.

    depends to an extent on an individual’s
