Q

3 Concepts of the Self Concept that are core elements:

A
  1. Attitude - immediate preference toward a concept, idea, or object (likes & dislikes). Most likely to change over time.
  2. Beliefs - ideas based on our previous experiences and convictions that are the frame of reference through which we interpret the world (what is true or not true). Can be changed but takes time + strong evidence.
  3. Values - core concepts/ideas of what we consider good/bad or right/wrong (parents often shape our values) and are central to your self concept (hard to define). To change values = transformative life experience
