KNOWING SELF
 Self-Esteem
• Self-esteem is a set of attitudes and beliefs that a
person brings with him- or herself when facing
the world.

• It includes beliefs as to whether he or she can

expect success or failure, how much effort should
be put forth, whether failure at a task will “hurt,”
and whether he or she will become more capable
as a result of different experiences.
• "In psychological terms, self-esteem provides
a mental set that prepares the person to
respond according to expectations of success,
acceptance, and personal strength.

-- Stanley Coopersmith, Coopersmith Self-Esteem Inventories Manual

 Self-Concept
• The self-concept is the accumulation of
knowledge about the self, such as beliefs
regarding personality traits, physical
characteristics, abilities, values, goals, and roles.

• Beginning in infancy, children acquire and

organize information about themselves as a way
to enable them to understand the relation
between the self and their social world.
 Self-Confidence
• Self-confidence is essentially an attitude which
allows us to have a positive and realistic
perception of ourselves and our abilities.

• It is characterized by personal attributes such

as assertiveness, optimism, enthusiasm,
affection, pride, independence, trust, the
ability to handle criticism and emotional
maturity.
• Confidence is learned, it is not inherited. If
you lack confidence, it probably means that,
as a child, you were criticized, undermined, or
suffered an inexplicable tragic loss, for which
you either blamed yourself or were blamed by
others.
