Self-concept

Self-concept is a general term used to refer to how someone thinks about, evaluates, or perceives themselves12. It is an overarching idea we have about who we are—physically, emotionally, socially, spiritually, and in terms of any other aspects that make up who we are3. Self-concept includes beliefs such as "I am a good friend" or "I am a kind person" that are part of an overall self-image4. Self-concept is formed and regulated as we grow, based on the knowledge we have about ourselves, the feedback we receive from others, and the comparisons we make with others3. Self-concept can influence our self-esteem, our motivation, our behavior, and our relationships43.
