PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT

Unit 1: Self-Development

Knowing and Understanding Oneself during Middle and Late Adolescence


Self-concept
SELF-CONCEPT refers to your awareness of yourself.
ACTUAL SELF is the one that you actually see. It is the self that has characteristics that you were
nurtured or, in some cases, born to have.
IDEAL SELF is the self that you aspire to be. It is the one that you hope will possess characteristics
similar to that of a mentor or some other worldly figure.
SELF-KNOWLEDGE is derived from social interactions that provide insight into how others react to
you.
SELF-IMAGE is the way you think about yourself and your abilities or appearance
The actual self is who we actually are. It is how we think, how we feel, look, and act. The actual self can
be seen by others, but because we have no way of truly knowing how others view us, the actual self is our
SELF-IMAGE.
 Aspect of self
1. Physical self- refers to the descriptions of your height, weight, facial appearance, and quality of
skin, hair and body areas.
2. Intellectual Self- it includes how well you reason and solve problems.
3. Emotional Self- it is about your typical feelings you have, feelings you seldom have, feelings
you try to avoid and other feelings. It is the most feared aspect of self because it is illusive and
deceptive.

relationships and other relationships.
5. Spiritual self- this include your feelings about yourself and organized religion, reactions about
your spiritual connection to others.

healthy.

time, to enable you to achieve life goals.

less important things or spontaneous desires.

yourself, your actions and their consequences.

6. Creativity. It allows you to find extraordinary ways to carry out a specific action that no one has tried
to use..
