Self-concept is a psychological construct that refers to how an individual perceives and evaluates themselves. It includes beliefs, attitudes, and perceptions about one's abilities, characteristics, and experiences. Self-concept can be influenced by factors such as social interactions, feedback from others, personal experiences, and cultural norms. Research in this area examines how self-concept develops, changes, and influences various aspects of an individual's life, such as their behavior, emotions, and relationships. Studies may also explore how self-concept is related to self-esteem, self-efficacy, and self-perception. Overall, understanding self-concept is important for gaining insights into human behavior and mental health.
