DIRECT REFLECTIONS

The self-concept is largely shaped by the responsesof others. (Veblen, 1934)

Rosenberg (1979) : Because it is so difficult to

arrive to at self-knowledge, how others view us is ftremendous importance. We need a consensus fromothers in order to validate our own self-concepts.

Mead (1934) : in social communication the

individual takes the role of the other and hisself slowly emerges as he interacts with andresponds to the views of others.

GENERALIZED OTHER

The process of communication requires the

individuals to adopt the attitude of the other

toward the self and see himself from their

perspective.

Your individual self-concept is shaped by applying

to your self the attitudes of society as a whole.

SOCIAL COMPARISONS

Human beings learn about themselves by comparing

themselves to others. (Pettigrew, 1967)

The process of social evaluation leads to self-ratings

that may be positive, neutral or negative in relation

to the standards set by the individuals employed for

comparison.

Rosenberg (1979): criterion-based and norm-basedsocial comparisons.

SELF-ATTRIBUTION

Woolfolk (1998): at the heart of attribution

theory is the notion of individual perception.

Students who attribute their success to their own

effort rather than to luck or chance are generally

responsible for their learning and can cope with

failure constructively.
