THE SELF-CONCEPT

DEFINITION OF SELF-CONCEPT

Self-concept is the image that we have of ourselves.

This image is formed in a number of ways, but is particularly influenced by our interactions with important people in our lives.

In this video, ReeHan is a top student in his school. He was often praised by his parents, teachers and friends. Because of that, he develop his self-concept as a smart and clever individual.

SCHEMA

DEFINITION OF SCHEMA

A schema is a cognitive framework or concept that helps organize and interpret information.

Schemas can be useful because they allow us to take shortcuts in interpreting the vast amount of information that is available in our environment.

Schemas can contribute to stereotypes and make it difficult to retain new information.

Because that ReeHan is smart, he has the schema that he himself could always lead and order. Hence, he doesn’t take suggestion from others.

SELF-SERVING BIAS

DEFINITION SELF-SERVING BIAS

When we are taking in information and making judgments about the world and events around us, we don't always interpret these things objectively.

Cognitive biases often interfere with how we evaluate information and arrive at decisions. One such cognitive bias is known as the self-serving bias.

In this video, ReeHan tends to take personal credit for success while blaming his co-worker for failures.

ALTRUISM

DEFINITION OF ALTRUISTIC MODEL

Altruism involves the unselfish concern for other people. It involves doing things simply out of a desire to help, not because you feel obligated to out of duty, loyalty, or religious reasons.

In this video, Kaizer shows his willingness in helping his colleague with selfless intention.

SOCIAL LEARNING

DEFINITION OF SOCIAL LEARNING THEORY

Social learning theory combines cognitive learning and behavioral learning theory.

Albert Bandura integrated these two theories and came up with four requirements for learning: observation (environmental), retention (cognitive), reproduction (cognitive), and motivation (both). This integrative approach to learning was called social learning theory. 

In this video, we can see that at first ReeHan is an arrogant person who does not take suggestion from the others.

Afterwards, he changed his attitude when he found out that everyone starts to isolate him.

He tried to approach Kaizer and he eventually change his behavior.
