Multi-Dimensional Self-Concept Scale: Your Self-Concept Gauge towards a Confident You

Personality development features a unique mirror of ourselves. It is taken from numerous components like personality traits, physical looks, personal values and our life goals. This the dawn of understanding among children and babies with respect to a complex social world in relation to themselves. Self-concept during our childhood stage is more concrete especially on the physical level involving as items and skill levels. As a child grows and develops, varying characteristics are revealed. These are the so-called intrinsic qualities of an individual. Moreover, the psychological differences of people are distinctly manifested. Additionally, larger numbers of networks of peers are established.

What is your ideal self-concept?

Self-concept modifies itself in later life particularly during teenage to adulthood years. It becomes a nebulous idea which becomes organized according to an individual’s personal relevance. This is an ever-changing concept which solely depends on a person due to the fact that our personal beliefs and attitudes change when new formations are underway. Similarly, the gradual development of self-perception has two primary aspects: The existential self, a categorical self and self-image. Humanistic and social psychology give primal emphasis on the importance of oneself towards the fulfilment of a well-rounded personality.

What is an existential self? Psychologists have coined this as the core of self-scheme, a sense of distinction from other people and the awareness about self-constancy. The said concept begins from two to three months and it somehow stems from an idea in consonance to the world wherein a child belongs. A classic example of this is when a child reciprocates your smile.

Meanwhile, a categorical self is generally something about a child’s concept that he or she becomes an object of a given world. Simply, a child’s unique self has properties which could be experienced like being big or small, gender or a set of skills. During the onset of early childhood, a child starts to apply certain characteristics to themselves, which are very concrete like favourites and hair color. Carl Rogers had asserted that our self and its set of ideals has three prominent elements: Self-image, self-esteem and an ideal self.

A positive self-concept of a child boosts the three elements of self-concept.
