• Self-identity is the way you see yourself and understand who you are. It's made up of your traits, values,

hobby.

understanding strengths, weaknesses, and growth areas.
SELF CONFIDENCE
• Self-confidence is believing in yourself and your abilities. It's like having a strong, positive
feeling that you can do something well. It's about trusting yourself to handle challenges and
achieve your goals.
• Believing in Yourself: Trusting that you have the skills and qualities to succeed.

downs with courage and resilience.
SELF-IMAGE
• Self-image is how you see yourself in your mind. It's like the picture you have of
yourself, including how you feel about your appearance, abilities, and personality
traits.
• “Self-image is how you perceive yourself. It is a number of self-impressions

that have built up over time… These self-images can be very positive, giving
a person conﬁdence in their thoughts and actions, or negative, making a
person doubtful of their capabilities and ideas.”
ELEMENTS OF SELF-IMAGE
• The three elements of a person’s self-image are:
• The way a person perceives or thinks of him/herself.

• The way a person interprets others’ perceptions (or what he thinks others think) of
him/herself.
• The way a person would like to be (his ideal self).
DIMENSIONS OF A PERSON’S SELF-IMAGE
• Physical dimension: how a person evaluates his or her appearance

• Psychological dimension: how a person evaluates his or her personality
• Intellectual dimension: how a person evaluates his or her intelligence
• Skills dimension: how a person evaluates his or her social and technical skills
• Moral dimension: how a person evaluates his or her values and principles
• Sexual dimension: how a person feels he or she fits into society’s masculine/feminine
norms
BIG5 FACTORS

qualities that psychologists use to describe people's personalities.
The five factors Goldberg identified as primary factors of personality are
Extroversion
Agreeableness
Conscientiousness
Neuroticism
Openness to experience
A popular acronym for the Big Five is OCEAN. The ﬁve factors are laid out in that
order here.
BIG5 FACTORS
1. Openness: How curious and open-minded you are. People high in openness like
trying new things and thinking about abstract ideas.
2. Conscientiousness: How organized and responsible you are. Conscientious
people are careful with their work and stick to their plans.
3. Extraversion: How outgoing and energetic you are in social situations. Extraverted
people enjoy being around others and are usually talkative and friendly.
4. Agreeableness: How kind and cooperative you are. Agreeable people are
considerate of others' feelings and like to help people.
5. Neuroticism: How emotionally stable you are. People high in neuroticism tend to
experience more negative emotions like anxiety and sadness.
• These traits together describe different aspects of a person's behavior, thoughts, and
feelings, helping psychologists understand how people behave in different situations.
