INTRODUCTION and OVERVIEW
According to Hampson (1995), the human capacity
for self-awareness permits us to try to see ourselves
as others see us. When personality psychologists study
personality via self-reports, such as questionnaires (see
Chapter 42), they're assessing people's perceptions of
Themselves. Social psychologists Also study people's
self-perceptions through Reviews their study of the self-concept.
The self-concept (or simply'self ') is Cleary ahypothetical
construct: it's a' theory 'each one of us develops about
who we are and how we fit into society. It's repeatedly
revised during childhood in the light of both cognitive
development and social experience. On the one hand,
as children get older they Become more competent at
self-awareness and more realistic; on the other hand,
other people's perceptions and responses will come to
play a more central role in shaping the nature of that
awareness (Schaffer, 2004).
