Question: What Is Self-Concept?
Answer:
Self-concept is the image that we have of ourselves. This image is formed in a number of ways, but is particularly influenced by our interactions with important people in our lives.

SELFCONCEPTan idea of the self constructed from the beliefs one holds about oneself and the responses of others.

Intrapersonal communication, or communication within yourself, is an area of study that is fundamental to the field of interpersonal communication.
Interpersonal Communication is communication with others, whereas Intrapersonal communication limits itself to communication within the individual. It is communication that takes place within the individual when he or she is communicating with others, or simply, when he or she is alone and thinking to himself or herself. When a person says to himself or herself, “way to go,” he or she is engaging in intrapersonal communication.
The practice of Intrapersonal Communication is critical to helping you develop not only your sense of self but also help you identify how to communicate with others. You see, your value of yourself determines how you communicate with others so it is important to assess your self concept.
The self-concept is based on what people are told by others and how the sense of self is reflected in the words and actions of important people in one’s life, such as parents, siblings, coworkers, friends and teachers.

Self Concept
Self concept is how you see yourself and is important because how you act and communicate with others is connected closely with this. Concept means idea so your self concept is the idea that you have about yourself. The way you see yourself, of course, may be completely different to how others see you since your self concept is a description of who you think you are. In addition, psychologists go on to say that we have many different self-concepts. In other words, our belief of who we are changes in different situations. William James says there are 3 dimensions of self:
Material self: physical elements that reflect who you are (body, car, clothes, home, etc)
Social self: the self you see when you are interacting with others such as your best friend, your boyfriend/girlfriend, spouse, or significant other, your colleagues, etc.
Spiritual self: introspections about your values, beliefs and morals
Our self concept forms our self esteem There are ways to improve this however. First though think about what you think of yourself right now and whether or not it is holding you back.
