EAP: Mental Talks: 'Self-perception in others' eyes
Aim:
To learn basic theories about self concept and learn strategies to overcome our own poor self esteem or help others to improve theirs.
Do you honestly know yourself? Are you aware of who you are and what make you you, not somebody else?
One of the prominent concepts about self-perception is the so called The Looking Glass Self Theory of Charles Cooley which says that we see ourselves reflected in other people’s reactions to us and then form our self concept based on how we believe other people see us.
In this mental talk we will discuss the way we form our believes about ourselves based on the feedback we receive from significant others.
