    Abstraction
    The following are the different definitions of the self as presented by the different
    psychologist and social scientists:

    1. Jhangiani and Tarry – The self is the sense of personal identity and of who we are as
    individuals.
    2. Wlliam James- The self as having two aspects- the “I” and the “Me”. The “I” refers to the
    thinking, acting and the feeling self. The “me” refers to the physical characteristics as
    well as the psychological capabilities that make who you are.
    3. Oyserman, Elmore and Smith- Similar concept of self is the identity and self-concept.
    Identity is composed of personal characteristics, social roles and responsibilities. Self-
    concept is what basically comes to your mind when you are asked who you are.
    4. Carl Rogers- created an idea about a concept of self-schema. This refers to the organized
    system or collection of knowledge about who we are.

    5. Sigmund Freud- A famous psychologist saw the self as its mental processes and one’s
    behavior as the results of the interaction between the Id, Ego and the Superego. The Id
    is the principle of desire of the flesh, the Superego is the moral principle and the ego is
    the self. For Freud, the man should have a balance of two opposing forces in order to
    fulfill his humanness.
    6. Symbolic Interactionism- G.H. mead believed that the self is created and developed
    through human interaction. According to him, there three compelling reasons why self
    and self-identity are social products:
    a. Humans do not create their selves out of nothing but society helped in
    creating the foundations of human personalities.
    b. Humans need other people to affirm and reinforce what they actually think
    who they are.
    c. Important things that are thought to be could only be an influenced from the
    society, or other people or even only a historical context.

    7. Carver and Scheier- When one is aware of your self-concept this is what you called as
    self-awareness. There are two types of self-awareness:
    a. The private self- this refers to the internal standards, private
    thoughts and feelings.
    b. The public self- refers to your public image commonly geared
    toward having a good presentation of yourself to others.
