Self Concept Self-Concept, self esteem, self efficacy and self confidence are believed to have great influence on an individual’s way of life. Self-Concept, also known by self-image or self-perspective, refers to the way an individual views himself (Bong & Clark, 1999). It can also refer to the way an individual knows or understands about himself. Self-Concept is actually not a reality but a mental conception of self. It stretches across various facets of oneself such as intellectual ability, physical appearance, social talents, accomplishments, emotional states and health. For example, personal conception of physical traits such as height constitutes self-concept. For instance, when a person says that he is athletic, the trait of being athletic constitutes that person’s self-concept. In essence, self-concept distinguishes an individual from other individuals in his or her surroundings (Bong & Clark, 1999). Self-Concept starts to build at about six month of age and changes dynamically throughout one’s life. Three qualities of self-concept are identified: it’s learned, dynamic and organized. One is not born with self-concept; it develops a few months after being born and changes continuously with ones interaction with the world. It is considered as a social construction that develops with perceived experiences especially with other individuals. As a learned mental construction of self, it is possible for a person to have a different perception of self as others perceive him. It also implies that one can change his self-concept by viewing his situation or experiences differently (Bong & Clark, 1999). Self-Concept is said to be organized in that it tends to be stable and consistent; and therefore dictates an individual’s personality. Besides being learned and organized, self-concept changes throughout one’s life. A persons gains new perception of self and may shed earlier conception depending his experience. A person’s self-concept influences his self confidence, self esteem and determines his present and future. It indeed affects quality of life and therefore determines level of happiness. Therefore, it’s appropriate to develop a good self-concept. Self-Concept develops from a person’s interaction with others and his environment. Therefore, positive experience and interaction is likely to lead to a positive self-concept. In children, positive reinforcement and encouragement rather than rebuke and ridicule can help a child to develop positive self-concept and grow to be self-confident and with high self-esteem. Self Efficacy Self efficacy refers to a person’s perception of their ability to do something or achieve a particular goal. It is a belief on ones capability rather than having the actual capability. A person with high self-efficacy therefore believes that he is capable of doing or achieving a specific thing (Bong & Clark, 1999). On the other hand, a person with low self-efficacy has low confidence on his capability to do or achieve something. Self-efficacy is mostly used with relation to an action or a goal. For example, a student may have high self-efficacy in doing well in science but have low self-efficacy on performing well in literature. Unlike efficacy, which refers to competence, self-efficacy refers to belief on competence. Therefore, an individual may have high self-efficacy on something but lack capability to
