CHAPTER 4-THE SELF IN THE ALLIED SCIENCES

  • Self-concept in Sociology Self-concept -defined in various ways as the presence of the larger society and the significant others play a major role in the understanding of the genuine nature of the self which is found in the realm of a collective whole.
  • Self-concept in Sociology -According to Cooley and Mead, who described the connection between social realities and the role of the individual. Each has a role in the events transpiring in the community. -According to Rosenberge (1979) self-concept is comprised of the insights about the self as an object. This reveals how the person is considered as a functioning entity serving the community. From such idea emanates the belief that the identity of the person is reliant on his or her function in the community.

-According to Gecas and Burke (1995) the self is composed of various identities, attitudes, beliefs, values, motives, and experiences with respect to their communities and the institution to which they belong.

  • Self-concept in Sociology -the self in sociology answer to the roles and functions of the self in relation to the significant others. -such functions are complied with and provide enrichment to the expected character of the individual within the group. -the individual has a role to play like being a student, a daughter, a teacher, a leader, a community worker and the like.
  • Self-concept in Sociology -the self is considered as a product of social interaction through the utilization of language. Such as the insight in the symbolic interactionism theory of Mead. -Symbols of language allow communication and interaction between which determines your place in the group and even in the community. -This is a requisite in gaining positive responses from identity groups as well as higher degree of self- esteem, belongingness and affirmation as part of the “in-group.”
  • Our varied selves are creations of our perceived ideal self and that which are dependent on the scrutiny of the significant others which is known as the limited self.
  • Self in Anthropology -Self-concept can also be a product of cultural practices which is in the realm of anthropology.

-Carl Rogers (1959) asserted that self-concept has three different components:

  1. Your “self-image” or the view you have of yourself influenced by external factors such as expectations from the significant others.
  2. Your “self-esteem” or “self-worth” is the value you assign to yourself;
  3. The “ideal self” is what you desire or expect of the “self.” -A mismatch between your self-concept and what you expect to be highly, affects your self-esteem. One’s expectation of the self and life situation can either result to congruence or incongruence. -Carl Rogers stated that to achieve self-actualization there must be a state of congruence within the individual. Congruence exists when the “ideal self” and the actual experience are consistent. During those points of incongruence which is very inevitable positivity is very necessary.
