![Page 2: Chapter 2 Part1 Cst110](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082623/5455a43fb1af9fcf338b498a/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The Role of Self and Perception
Self-concept – how you think and feel about yourself
Perception – how you look at others and the world around you
What role does media play in each?

The Role of Self and Perception
How you look at the world depends on what you think about yourself and visa versa; perception and self-concept are closely related
Your communication is a direct result of both perception and self-concept
Your communication is always changing because your self-concept and perceptions are always changing

The Role of Self and Perception
Self-concept can set limitations on your behavior; risk-taking
Self-concept limits how you see the world; in essence you live in “your own little world” that you have built

Self-Concept
The self is mobile, personal, self-reflexive, and subject to change
Your self-concept is based on the values of the culture and the community you come from

Self-Concept
Self-concept is made up of:
1. Reflected appraisals
2. Social comparisons
3. Self-perception

Reflected Appraisals
You are NOT born with and identity, others give it to you
Reflected appraisals – messages you get about yourself from others; from parents, friends, etc (pos or neg)
“You are so
beautiful!” “You are never
going to amount
to anything!”
![Page 8: Chapter 2 Part1 Cst110](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022082623/5455a43fb1af9fcf338b498a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Reflected Appraisals
Scripts – these are lines that you are given to speak (from parents when you are you: “say thank you”) also when you are older (“You would be a great doctor because your father is a great doctor”)

Reflected Appraisals
If you were given positive reflected appraisals, you probably have a good self-concept
Self-fulfilling prophesies: you expect something to go badly so it does / good and it does. For example if your coach says “you are going to be a great player” you will do better because you try to live up to the expectations

Social Comparisons
Social comparison – comparing yourself with others to see how you measure up; necessary to developing self-perception
Body image is often judged against others
Where do the standards that we judge against come from? What are possible issues with the standards set in American in terms of body image?

Gender, Sex, and Self -Concept
Men and women gain their self-concept in different ways
Men – give most importance to social comparison; from parents; from achievements
Women – more importance to reflected appraisals; from friends; connections and attachments

Psychological Safety and Risk
Psychological safety – the support and approval that we get from familiar people is important to us
The need for approval and the need for safety and security often pull us in different directions or give us conflicting ideas (see Maslow next slide)
