Looking Glass Theory
One’s sense of self derived from perception of others evaluation
Basis = our “perception” - not necessarily who we are or actual beliefs
Others = mirror by which we evaluate the SELF

The SELF
Self concept develops in response to our perception of the evaluations.
Mixed messages Self not permanently “fixed.” Self and Society not in conflict –
interactive, feedback loopSelf evaluation continues – though
most stable concepts emerge in childhood

Dualism: I ME
Self emerges through social experienceSocial experience = learning symbolic
meanings – interpret communication To understand and interpret (infer) we
need to “take the role of the other.” See ourselves as others see us – anticipate responses – role taking

Self
Emerges over time with social experience
Significant other – key people in our life
Generalized other – all others – the demands and expectations of society – internalization of norms and values
Social self – no biological component
