ideasBegins at an early age and continues
throughout life

Three Step ProcessStep One:
We imagine how our personality and appearance appears to others Attractive/unattractive, heavy/slim, friendly/unfriendly
Step Two: We imagine how other people judge the appearance we think
we present in step one How do we think they feel about us
Step Three: We develop a self-concept based on how we feel we are judged
in step two If we are judged in a good way, we have a favourable self-
concept If we are judged in a bad way, we have an unfavourable self-
concept

So, What’s the Point?Looking-glass self provides us with an
identityWho we think others think we are
Our own self identity is then influencedAs we develop as individuals so too do our
interactions with othersThe result:
our self concept derived from the looking-glass self does not end

What Does Your Looking-Glass Self Look Like?Take some time to sketch yourself.Be thoughtful.Don’t rush.After you’re finished with your sketch take some
time to reflect on itWhat do you notice?Is there anything that stands out in your sketch?Would you like to change anything in your
sketch?Write an explanation, outlining what you see and
why you think you see it. (min. Half a page)
