Alt. Def: Self-image
Definition of looking-glass self:
A self concept based on our idea of others’ judgments of us

Scenario: You have a new teacher you want to impress. 1. In class, as you are making a comment on the assignment, you have an image of your performance (stage 1) 2. After finishing your comments, you think your teacher is disappointed (stage 2) 3. Because you wanted your teacher to be impressed, you feel bad about yourself (stage 3)

20. Can the Looking Glass be Distorted?

Eleanor Roosevelt quote
In the morning do you get dressed for yourself or for how others will see you?
If not for rules and expectations, would you dress differently than you do? How and why?
Is there people we use as mirrors more than others?

The people whose judgments are most important to our self- concepts

Mother, father, grandparent, teachers, and playmates

24. Role Taking We all carry on silent conversations with ourselves….
True or False?
Through these conversations we can imagine the thoughts, emotions, and behavior of others in any social situation
Definition of Role Taking:
Assuming the viewpoint of another person and using that viewpoint to shape the self-concept

25. How Does the Ability for Role Taking Develop?
3 stage process
Imitation Stage – Children begin to imitate behaviors without understanding why
Play stage – Children act in ways they imagine other people would
Game stage – Children anticipate the actions of others based on social rules
*Example on the bottom of page 118

26. When do we Start Acting out of Principle?
During the game stage a child’s self-concept, attitudes, beliefs, and values gradually come to depend LESS on individuals and MORE on general concepts
This CHANGE is called a generalized other:
An integrated conception of the norms, values, and beliefs of one’s community or society
So…. What is the self?

27. Self Has two parts Jim Carrey video
Me and I
