The Self as a Duality:
Williams James
This refers to the subjective, experiential aspect of the self
—the “self” that experiences, thinks, and feels.
I
This represents the self as an object of reflection and
awareness. It includes everything that one can consider as part of
oneself, such as personal attributes, roles, and social identity.
me
This includes the body, possessions, and the
tangible aspects of one’s identity.
Material Self
This encompasses the self that is perceived through
interactions with others and the roles one plays in social contexts.
Social Self
This involves one’s inner self, including personal
beliefs, values, and the sense of one’s inner life.
Spiritual Self
depends on how well we perceive ourselves to be achieving our goals
relative to our expectations.
Self Esteem
He saw the self as something that is not only a psychological
construct but also a functional, practical entity that adapts to and
interacts with the environment. The self is not a fixed entity but
something that is defined and redefined through experiences
and interactions.
William James
He believed that individuals have the power to make choices and
exert control over their actions, which in turn affects their self-
concept and identity.
William James
He defines the self as a flexible and changing perception of personal
identity. The self is the center of experience
CARL ROGERS
He suggests that the self develops from interactions with significant
people and awareness of one’s own characteristics and level of
functioning
Carl Rogers
human beings are always striving for
self-fulfillment or self-actualization. When the needs of the self are
denied, severe anxiety may arise.
Carl Rogers
refers to the image of oneself.
- how you perceive your behavior, abilities and unique characteristics
Self Concept
This refers to a person’s actual, authentic self—the real self as
it exists in the present moment.
