Chapter 6: Self-concept and identity Contemporary Adolescence

Self-concept Adolescent self-conceptions become increasingly more abstract and complex through development Abstract: Actual self: a person’s perception of the self as it is Possible self: a person’s conception of the self as it potentially may be Ideal: the person an adolescent would like to be Feared: The self a person imagines it is possible to become but dreads becoming Complex: Older adolescents recognize contradictions in their personality False self: a self that is presented to others while realizing it doesn’t represent what they are actually thinking or feeling

Self-Concept—another perspective Global Identity Role-Specific Identity Traits Competencies Values Competencies Traits Traits: Competencies: Values: Level of attributes: Level: degree to which individual perceives he/she possess attribute. Two types of evaluation: Ordinal: Fixed: Strength: how strongly the individual holds the perception of the attribute level Leonard, Beauvais, & Scholl, 1995

Self-Concept—Third perspective Time  TragicComedy or Romance Happily ever after Heroic Saga Establishing a valued endpoint Selecting events relevant to the endpoint Ordering of events Stability of identity Causal linkages Demarcation signs Brown and Dawson

Self-esteem Positive self-esteem is linked to long-term mental health and emotional well-being Well-established link between low self-esteem and depression in adolescents Well-established link between low self-esteem and suicide Adolescents with low self-esteem are self-conscious and overly vulnerable to criticism or rejection Sometimes adolescents develop a false front to hide feelings Acceptance of self is positively correlated with acceptance from others

Self-esteem A person’s overall sense of worth and well- being Six components, or pillars (Branden)

Types of self-esteem Baseline self-esteem Barometric self-esteem

Development of a positive self-concept Significant others Parents Parental interest, concern, and discipline Stress Physical disabilities Gender Ethnicity Divorced and blended families

Eight domains of adolescent self-image Scholastic competence Social acceptance Athletic competence Physical appearance Job competence Romantic appeal Behavioral conduct Close friendship Susan Harter

Identity Seven conflicts according to Erikson: Temporal perspective vs. time confusion Self-certainty vs. self-consciousness Role experimentation vs. role fixation Apprenticeship vs. work paralysis Sexual polarization vs. bisexual confusion Leadership and followership vs. authority confusion Ideological commitment vs. confusion of values

The Four Identity Statuses Commitment YesNo ExplorationYesAchievementMoratorium NoForeclosureDiffusion Diffusion: Not seriously attempting to sort through potential choices and make enduring commitments Moratorium: Actively trying out different personal, occupational, and ideological possibilities Foreclosure: Seen as unhealthy. Often a result of parents’ strong influence Achievement: Preceded by a period of moratorium; definite choices regarding personal, occupational, and ideological have been made

Identity as a process--Burke Interpersonal components Social behavior Feedback Intrapersonal components Self-concept Identity standards Comparator

Styles of Identity Searching--Berzonsky Informational style: Seek out diagnostic information and accommodate their plans and behaviors Normative style: Resistant to change and block out discrepant information Avoidant style: Put off making decisions and evade feedback

Ethnic Identity Identification with Ethnic Group HighLow Identification with Majority Culture HighBiculturalAssimilated LowSeparatedMarginal Bicultural: developing a dual identity, alternating between them as appropriate Assimilation: leaving behind one’s ethnic group and adopting values and way of life of the majority culture Marginality: rejecting one’s own culture, but feeling rejected by majority culture Separation: associating only with members of one’s own ethnic group and rejecting the ways of the majority culture
