Case Scenario Self Esteem
There are many similarities and differences to self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. Self-concept is the mental image or perception that one has of oneself. Self-esteem is the experience of feeling competent to cope with the basic challenges in life and of being worthy of happiness. Then self-efficacy is confidence in your ability to carry out a specific task in contrast to generalized self-confidence. The only person that can feel self-concept if yourself. It is what you are thinking of yourself at any given time. You could feel that you are a happy, joyful person, while someone else sees you as a depressed and sad being. The was

These reasons and definitions can help someone understand the differences and similarities to self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. Everyone has their own perceptions on how they do things and complete life goals. Every single person is different. In the case scenario that I was given an average day woman, Pat, she is having a life changing event while starting a new job. At her old job she was rarely late to work, enjoyed working in the office environment, and enjoyed finding opportunities to meet and talk to other people during the day. However, Pat is starting a new job and is surrounded by people that are opposite from her making it harder to have a high self-esteem and self-concept o herself. Being in this new environment Pat is gaining a low self-concept of herself since the rest of her coworkers are young and full of life. She is starting to feel out of date compared to all the others and has a had time having conversations with them. Since Pat feels old now, her self-esteem has most likely went down and she doesn't have much to look forward to going to work everyday. Now that her self-concept and esteem is lower than normal Pat is having a hard time making friends at all since she is too scared to even try developing a friendship. Since she isn't trying to start conversations she goes home feeling very alone and isolated from the rest of the people she works with at her new job. Pat's
Self concept refers to awareness of their own characteristics, and of likenesses and differences between themselves and other children. We help promote this by having the children use names. We have them call each other by name as well as the teachers by their names. We also help by making up news stories with the children in them and use their names in them when telling them, we also
Most people face self esteem problems at different levels. At some point in life people face this problem without realizing it. In the essay The Trouble with Self-Esteem written by Lauren Slater starts of by demonstrating a test. Self esteem test that determines whether you have a high self-esteem or low self-esteem. The question to be answered however is; what is the value and meaning of self-esteem? The trouble with self-esteem is that not everyone approaches it properly, taking a test or doing research based of a certain group of people is not the way to do so.
Self confidence is the foundation of success, achievement, and happiness. Unfortunately, the foundation of self confidence can become shaky and unstable if someone that you look up to as a role model hurts your self esteem and courage. One of the biggest role models in my life used to be my first club soccer coach. He seemed brilliant, passionate, and willing to work with my team. This man soon became the complete opposite of what I hoped he would be. I soon realized that he was a two faced liar and one of the most awful people I have ever met. Little did my ten year old self know he would be the downfall of my self confidence and he would slowly destroy any passion I had for the sport I loved all with only a few words.
Throughout the film we see Tiffany suffer the major features of a borderline personality disorder. In the film, when Tiffany feels hurt by comments that Pat would make she would drastically overreact to the comments by screaming or causing a major scene. For example, Pat and Tiffany went out to a small café to converse. Eventually their conversation begins to spiral downward as Pat insinuates Tiffany is crazy and that his reputation would be affected if people find out they are friends. Tiffany goes ballistic and begins hollering,

Concept of self, self-esteem and self-efficacy. Refers to beliefs about who we are, how good we feel about ourselves, and how capable we believe we are at performing task.
In this task I will compare two theories of self-esteem which contribute to our understanding of self-concept. The theories which I will be focused on are Bowlby’s and Harter’s.
With the job she gets more confident with herself and does not think that way
You get the feeling that she has nobody to talk to, that she only knew
Throughout the movie, Pat recurrently displayed an elevated and irritable mood as well as three of the above symptoms, namely a decreased need for sleep, speech that is rapid, pressured, loud and difficult to interrupt, and non-stop goal-directed activity. These symptoms are accompanied by delusions of a suspicious nature, as well as hallucinations. Pat’s mood disturbance led to his hospitalization, separation from his wife, and the loss of his job
Her attitude changes threw out the play, she’s very confident in the beginning, she doesn’t really talk back to anyone, but as it goes on her attitude changes and she’s very upset all the time and depressed.
An individual’s opinion of who and what they helps them form and develop their own individuality. It is established through the individual’s behaviour and attitude. It relates to how they view themselves and is associated with their own self-image, body image and self-esteem. Murphy (as cited by Gross, 2001) stated the self is part of the individual which is understood and know to by the individual them self. A person’s physical appearance is the first thing that is seen when they are in contact with others. If the individual feels positive and confident within themselves then this will influence the development of a strong and healthy life. This can also influence how they experience life allowing them to develop in a positive, healthy way and enabling them to build up strong relationships with others. Self concept can be based upon one’s own expectations and goals which they hold
One's self-concept affects one's perception, attitude and behavior, which can be demonstrated during the process of interpersonal communication. Aspects of one's life influence their self-concept, which not only affect how people perceive them but how they perceive themselves. Such things are gender, motivational level and psychological type. It is widely
Insecurity drills a hole into a person’s heart, minimizes their integrity, and accumulates as plaque build up, hindering any kind of future growth. Just as any human being’s growth is stifled by the insecurity within them, the United States as a whole suffers the same from its own tremendous amount of insecurity. This lack of acknowledgement of self-worth causes a ghastly chain reaction; people tend to pursue the wrong ideals, become corrupt, and inevitably lead themselves to their own demise. Insecurity is a route to destruction, and America is speeding down that road to dissolution.
Self-concept is our self-identity, and is the way that one perceives itself, it includes both attitudes and the collection of beliefs. Self-Concept also branches out into self-image and self-esteem. Self-image, is the way the person pictures itself. The self-esteem is the way we evaluate ourselves. We identify ourselves by our communication, and our interactions with others. In other words “I think, therefore I am” (René Descartes; “ego cogito, ergo sum”) If a person was to tell another person what they think they look like, odds are that that person may view himself as what the other person thinks/views him as. It could either raise or lower the self-esteem of the person, it could also enhance the way we view ourselves, depending on the type of people the person associates, communicates and experience interactions with them. If a person associates himself or herself with educated people, he or she will most likely feel respected. If he or she associates with people of less morals, odds are that that person may just have a lower self-esteem and self-image compared to the person that hangs around overall good people.
