...Building Self-Esteem Essay PSY-460 Fundamentals of Counseling July 21, 2013 Self-esteem is the part of our personas that includes the positive and negative of self-assessment or evaluations, and speaks to how we feel and/or think about ourselves. In other words, the attitudes, ideas, and convictions we have about ourselves can determine who we are, what we can do, and who we can become (Mann et al, 2004). It incorporates the aggregate of our overall beliefs, opinions, understanding(s) and awareness of the personal qualities and characteristics we possess. In life we will experience a lack of assurance or confidence at some time or another, however, those persons who experience low self-esteem are not happy; and are often sad or dissatisfied much of the time (Burton, 2012). We find that self-esteem is a significant psychological component that influences our well-being, as well as enhances the value and quality of our lives. Many in the medical field concur that a healthy self-esteem can offer an advantage to professional success, eliminate many psychological disorders, as well as contribute to better overall health and social behavior. This paper aims to discuss how a simple retooling of a person’s system can alleviate negative views of themselves and/or situations leading to possible psychological disorders. The development of self-esteem and/or how we feel about ourselves begins at a very early age and never stops until we close our eyes in death. In other...

...instance nature and nurture that is use to develop a concept of themselves, which comes from an individual’s past and future. Concept of self also comes from just who the individuals were in the past and who they plan to be in the future. The study of personality shows that an individual believes in fears, hope, and understanding of what to look from certain elements in the world, how to behave, and who the individual thinks they should be. A person social environment plays a huge role in how an individual will behave, certain influences the person will look at when it comes to her behavior. A person consists of three concepts when it comes to self: self-esteem, self-concept, and self-efficacy. When we take these concepts we are able to see how to look at them in the social world. In this paper we will define self and take a closer look at the concepts that are used to make me a better person. Self Self-shows how an individual pictures themselves in the world. Self-concept explains the organization of attributes and the roles that a person sees when looking at them. The general definition of self begins with social interaction, the social interaction helps to guide or influence a person’s behavior. Myers (2010) states that self-concept has three sources: self-perception theory, self-presentation, and cognitive dissonance theory (p.140). The self-presentation theory shows how an individual can try to stay consistent; an individual usually does not want to look inconsistent or foolish...

Apple is going through major restructuring to regain controlof its operations and finances in order to stay competitive on the global market. This paper will describe the organizational culture and structure of Apple (www.fundinguniverse).Organizational CultureThe culture of Apple was based on an ideal that self-motivated individuals willwork harder if they do not have a boss micromanaging every action. The unique structure of Apple had allowed it to grow and react more quickly to changes than its competitors. The reason for the quick responsiveness is simple; it is much easier to get a project started if there are only a few people to obtain approvalfrom. Apple initially grew fast, because decisions were made at the lowest possible level. Corporate headquarters made policy and oversaw all activities, but the local employees made the day-to-day decisions on the ground in countries all over the world. This type of top-down philosophy allowed for quick responsivenessand...

...Self-Concept and the Self Yasmin Walls Psy 400 October 24, 2011 Leah, Reagan Self-concept is defined as the knowledge, a multi-dimensional construct, of an individual’s perception one may have about his or herself such as personality traits, physical characteristics, abilities, values, goals, and roles. During infancy, individuals begin to acquire and organize information, which help them to understand the concept of the self in the social world. Children learn to interact in the social world from their learning experiences and the environment. This paper will focus on the concept of the self in the social world, a description of my life in regard to self-concept, self-esteem and self-efficacy, and a description of two social experiences that affected my personal development. The self-concept is an internal model, which refers to one’s personality, skills, abilities, occupation, hobbies, physical characteristics, etc. One’s self-concepts refer to his or her personal identity and social identity. Individual’s self-perceptions and how he or she interacts in the social world is a significant factor in self-concept. Self-schemas are a significant element of self-concept, which are specific beliefs, mental temples, one uses to define him or herself, and organize his or her world. (Myers, 2010). Self schemas enable people to vision themselves in the future, their possible selves. It helps one to vision what he or she wants such as rich, thin, or successful. Such possible selves...

...Self-Esteem over Logic and Beliefs Columbia College, Missouri Abstract Self-Esteem gives a person the right to value themselves. Our self-esteem sometimes overpowers our logic, and can lead us to act in ways that are not always our own. This paper examines how the following theories; Theory of Cognitive Dissonance, Self- Evaluation Maintenance Theory, Self-Affirmation Theory, Rationalization Trap and Self-Discrepancy Theory impact a person's self-esteem decisions. Where people in different cases come to realize that the choices they have made overpower their superior perfect logic, they have to deal with the consequences that come along with the choices they have made. Self-Esteem over Logic and Beliefs According to Cherry (2010), “self-esteem is how a person values oneself”. It is a personality trait which comes from the inside of a person. It is all about what one believes about his/her looks, emotions, and behavior. It is an extremely essential need in a person so they can behave normally and be socially healthy. Self-esteem is intertwined with a person’s thoughts, and can also be called self-worth, self-respect or self-value. According to Kruger and Dunning (1999), “People often hold overly complimentary opinions of their abilities in many social and intellectual domains.” Many individuals end up doing things wrong without even realizing it, for the sake of a positive self-esteem. This paper will give examples of behavior that throw logic and common sense...

...Reflection on the Self Paper Deonte Jones PSY/400 January 26, 2012 Yvonne Moore Personal Reflection on the Self Paper At the cross-roads of the objective reality of behavior and the myriad of perceptions, representations, and schemas that constitute human thought is the mediating element of the self. It cannot be discounted that the individual self does not exist in a vacuum, but rather in a social framework that includes regular contact with other selves. The self is more a confederation or alliance of concepts than a single, unilateral mechanism, bringing together the possible-self, the social-self, and the self-concept into one amalgamated system. However, the self can be better understood upon a full examination of the aforementioned subordinate parts and within the context of a practical application of the self onto two social situations within my own life. Self Concept Central to the idea of self is the answer to the question: “Who am I?” This question can be answered in many ways, but it is the piecing together of the potential answers that constitute our complete self-concept (Myers, 2008). The self-concept can further be divided into self-schemas—specific beliefs about the self that help define the self-concept. Humans use self-schemas as templates to organize the world without and the mental life within. For instance, higher learning approaches can intrinsically motivate if the content is perceived relevant to a student’s self-schemas and fosters...

...Empty Vessel: Self-esteem Concerns in young girls Gonzalo Melendez University of Texas in El Paso Abstract This paper will take a look at the different dynamics of the rising the issue of the continued decrease in self-esteem in young girls. This paper will inform you of the age that self-esteem becomes a factor in a young girl’s life. It will also address the multiple causes that affect self-esteem in young girls. It will explain the long-term effects that come with low self-esteem and low self-image. Finally it will highlight ways to help mitigate and prevent low self-esteem in young girls in our society. Intro 12 year old Lana wakes up one morning looks in the mirror and thinks “Ewe why are not pretty.” “I really hate the way my jeans look on me.” “I wish I was smart.” The thought process behind a young girls mind today is a scary one. “Today we define self-esteem as ‘positive or negative attitude toward one’s self’’ and can be viewed as a key indicator of a healthy psychological well-being.” (Daniel Clay, 2005). Self-esteem can be fragile and can be easy shattered. Body image is central to adolescent girls’ self- definition, because others have socialized them to believe that appearance is an important basis for self-evaluation and for evaluation. (Daniel Clay, 2005) Poor self-image is a growing issue among most young girls in today’s society. When you think of poor self-image, most people think immediately of looks, but the truth is poor self-image is also how...

...*RESEARCH PAPER* TOPIC: “BROKEN FAMILY” SUBMITTED BY: LURLYN M. BANGERO SUBMITTED TO: MRS. ASELA PINGUL INTRODUCTION: Family is the basic unit of society. This is the most essential component of a country. Governance will only be effective if the citizens are properly oriented with good values and virtues, which is commonly taught by the family. A home is where a family lives. It may be alternated to the word ‘house’ but a house is more appropriately referring to the material structure, whereas ‘home’ refers to the intangible things that bind together the family members. It is the immeasurable love and care that keeps together the mother, father and their children. However, no matter how ideal a family in the terms of their relationship, there are still hardships and misunderstandings that will come along the way. It is just part of any relationship anyway. But, the sad part is when one of the family members gave up and the others have no choice but to accept and let go. Thus, the family starts to be broken. I. FACTOR THAT BREAK UP A FAMILY A. The spouses fall out of love with each other. 1.They don’t understand the difference between infatuation and love 2.They aren’t don’t understand how to grow their love for each other 3.They don’t know what partnership is, or how to do it. Without partnership, there can be no lasting love. B. Financial...

...Self esteem We all at some point in our lives come across a situation where we may think that there is no end to this misery, no way out, where every thing seems to stop and we have a feeling that we are falling into infinity; we keep falling and falling and expecting that at some time we will hit rock bottom but that never happens. The rock bottom doesn’t appear, we get no closure and what hurts the most is the thought that are we ever going to come out of this pit? Are we ever going to hit rock bottom and stop deteriorating? What’s most challenging about this situation is not the fact that we are in mental, physical, financial or emotional agony but the fact that the fire that kept burning inside of us, which kept giving a light of hope, that zest we had; slowly dies out. We loose confidence and self esteem. Now that’s going to hurt a lot because if we accept that this is what we deserve and no matter how hard we try, no matter if we bet our lives on it; we will never get out of it then our self esteem is shattered and its broken pieces are scattered. Now how do we start building self-esteem from scratch? How do we convince ourselves that there’s still a way out? Well, there’s this old story, which goes like this: - A guy wanted to be very successful and so he went to his guru, his mentor and told him that I want to be successful. I want to be famous, rich and appreciated. I want my self-esteem. I want to achieve this goal more than anything else. The guru said-“Well...

...EXCELLENT STUDENTS MAKE AN OUTSTANDING SCHOOL Excellent students make an outstanding school. Doing excellent or quality work is one of the 5 Powers of a Champion. It means that you do your best to achieve the requirements of the task, resulting in satisfied customers or supervisors and the good feeling of pride in your work. But achieving that goal can be a challenge due to outside forces and your own destructive attitudes. Excellence is essential in rising above the crowd and in providing others what they want. You benefit by improving your own esteem and self-worth, as well as how others view you. This means that you must do excellent or high quality work in everything you do. How you do things relates to how you feel about yourself--your attitude, confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, and pride in your abilities. It is also important in how others look at you. Excellence and quality products and services are essential for a business to be a success. You may ask, why and how is this so. Well for starters, let us take a look at our school for example. Stella Maris is a good school with a number of outstanding features. Students achieve well because of the good teaching they receive and the strong guidance that teachers provide. There is some outstanding teaching in many departments. Teachers plan well to interest and challenge students. Excellent relationships and mutual respect create a very positive climate for learning. Where this is matched with methods that allow students...

...Abstract Kowalski, R.,& Westen. D. (2005). Psychology (4th ed.). Hoboken, NJ: Wiley This paper will examine basic concepts of human interaction from a psychology perspective. It will describe at least two examples of how human behavior changes based on social situations. The two behaviors that this paper will examine are teenagers who drink in a crowd of their peers but don't drink when they are alone and taking part in bullying in a group but not alone. In both of these scenarios the individual who participates in the behaviors to fit in are “changing their attitudes or behavior to accommodate the standards of peers or group by a process called conformity (Kowalski & Westen, 2005).” The paper will also discuss precursors and consequences of both of these behaviors. Next, the paper will analyze and identify any associated phenomenon like social facilitation, social loafing , or groupthink. Last, there will be some discussion from the NIMH on whether or not these behaviors necessitate intervention. Social Influences Paper Introduction “Sociologist and philosophers have recognized that people behave different in crowds than they do as individuals and that a crowd is more than the mere sum of its parts (Kowalski & Westen, 2005).” Human behavior changes based on the social situations they encounter. This paper will examine basic concepts of human interaction from a psychology perspective. It will describe at least...

...Personal Reflection on the Self Paper 1 Personal Reflection on the Self Paper By Joe Everett April 21, 2014 University of Phoenix Personal Reflection on the Self Paper 2 The study of one’s self is a part of social psychology. A person to person in social psychology is not the same as self, now if you asked someone to identify what is self their response will be different all the time because every person will tell you a different response. However, even with all the different responses it does not make any of the answer wrong, it has to do with the person’s perspective that determines what they feel is self, it is because of this we have to wonder how many self’s are we dealing with. If we asked a person that question, they might answer that more than one exists. With this kind of response it is correct because we have to see the inner self, interpersonal self, body self, and the social self. What is considered us or yourself is self-recognized and self identifies; however, what all of this means is that other peoples are not going to see you the same way. There are a couple different theories that deals with such effect and the illusion of transparency. There is what is called a spotlight effect, and this is when a person believes that everyone is looking at them, they think that everyone’s focusing all their attention on how one’s they look or even behavior like, but in reality not one is really paying attention...

...be abused. These factors could be s howed through the individuals apprentice or the way in which they act. Health professionals use a variety of strategies and responses to help and support children and young people. For example if an individual’s self-esteem, confidence and resilience is low there become more vurable and at target for abuse. Whereas if a child or a young person has high self-esteem they will confident and less likely to be a target of abuse they are more likely to be talkative and notice that they are becoming a target of abuse. A child or young person with low self-esteem will be vulnerable as they are less likely speak out. To address this health and social care professionals should make the individuals feel valued and the child or young person should be aware and reminded of the qualities they have. This strategy would be appropriate in some situations but not others for example if an individual is beginning to act out at school this could be a clear sign there self esteem is quite low as they are putting a front on rather than showing weakness, by addressing this low self esteem individuals will begin to feel better about them self and express there feelings. The more we work on an individual self esteem the less likely they are to be abuse or to be passive when being abused. Another strategy used to help children and young people is sharing information that is appropriate. Guiding children and young people to share the correct responsible information...
