Answer to Question #195148 in Management for Alexander

Question

1.     Self-concept, self-esteem, and self-presentation are the three parts of self-perception. How do you see yourself in each of these three areas? Compare your self-view with how some close friends see you.

Answer 1

What I think about myself is described by my self-concept. It's focused on my perceptions of my personality characteristics, physical attractiveness, and social acceptance. I see myself as having light skin, being introverted, and being one of a kind. Besides, my self–esteem refers to how I feel about certain personality characteristics, physical attractiveness, and social acceptance; it is the emotional component of my self-evaluation. I have high self-esteem and place a high importance on my ideas and thoughts. My self-presentation determines how I interact with others; my actions and responses to others' actions determine my self-presentation. I have the ability to articulate myself and act in ways that give the desired impression. I'm excellent at managing first impressions.

Colleagues, on the other hand, suggest I have a low self-concept, which may mean people think I'm stupid and unattractive. My self-esteem is how I feel about it, and it makes me sad and lonely if I think I'm stupid and unattractive. My self-presentation will then primarily consist of my actions (our presentation of ourselves); sulking, distant, angry, or sad, depending on the persons’ opinions.
