Self

 This is how an individual sees, perceives, and defines


oneself apart from others.
 Self is the essence of a person.
 There are Four Dimensions of the Self – Physical, Emotional
, Psychological, and Spiritual

THE FOUR DIMENSIONS OF THE SELF

Physical
“The Body” – to live, move, and breathe

emotional
“The Heart” – to love, care and be in
relationship with self and others

psychological
“The Mind” – to learn, think, and grow

spiritual
“The Spirit” – to connect with essence,
purpose, and meaning

You cannot give what you do not have. See to it that you maintain

Due to the threat of COVID-19, community quarantine was imposed to keep people
at the safety of their homes. However, as days stretched into weeks and weeks into
months, staying at home became stressful not only in the financial aspect but also in
the four dimensions of the self. How were you able to cope-up with the stresses
brought about by this pandemic? What are your self-care tips on the four dimensions
of the self? Cite two self-care tips for each dimension.

physical emotional phychological spiritual

always exercise dont be to dramatic stop overthinking sit and relax


enjoy the quietness

Attitude
 A key factor in personality development is attitude – a settled
way of thinking and feeling about someone or something.
 Attitude has three components – Affective, Behavioral, and
Cognitive also known as the ABC model of attitude.

THE STRUCTURES OF ATTITUDE

is the emotion that someone evokes


about the attitude object. Ex: “I am scared of rats”

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 7 of 74

is the way one behaves when exposed to


an attitude object. Ex: I will avoid rats and scream if I see one”.

is a person’s belief or knowledge about an


attitude object. Ex: I believe rats are disgusting”.

 Attitude objects are what you make a judgment about and/or what you have feelings
toward something. This is the stimulus that drives or gives response to the attitude.
 Attitudes can form consequently through experiences, either from personal encounters
or observed consequences.

What are the factors that influence your attitude? Explain how these factors affect your
attitude? Write them here:

the factor that influence my attitude is video game sometimes, because video games makes me more aggressive because
of the internet problem it gave me hard time playing and stressed me out.

SELF-CONCEPT

 Self-concept is a term used to refer to how someone thinks about,


evaluates or perceives themselves.
 This is the individual’s belief about oneself.
 There are two types of self-concept – the ideal self and the actual self.

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 8 of 74

 How we want to be.


 Real self, who we actually are.
 An idealized image that we have
 It is how we think, look, feel, and
developed over time.
act.
 Based on what we have learned
 Self-image
and experienced.

SELF-ESTEEM

 Self-esteem does not focus on how we know ourselves but rather


our attitude towards ourselves.
 Self-worth or how we value ourselves.

Compare and contrast the two venn diagrams below. Write your answer on the space provided
below.

actual self ideal self actual self ideal self

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 9 of 74

To achieve self-actualization, a person


must be in a state of congruence which
means that a person’s ideal self should
be congruent with their actual self.

Incongruent

 The actual self is different or


farther from the ideal self.
 The little overlap equates to
lower self-esteem.

Congruent

 The actual self is similar or


closer to the ideal self.
 The bigger the overlap, the
higher the self-esteem.

How would you describe your current self? Are you incongruent or congruent? Why?
congruent, because i deal self is currently close to my ideal self i met a lot of pros in mobile legends they play with me sometime and i battle them sometime
im slowly being know as a pro in games.

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 15 of 74

If the previous lesson was about the parameters individuals need to


level up, this lesson is about how to level up.

Enrich your knowledge

Are you aware of your attitude with yourself and with the people and environment
around you? In the last lesson, we discussed about the structures of attitudes (Affective,
Behaviorial, Cognitive). In this lesson we will refer to them using these terms: Thoughts
(Cognitive), Feelings (Affective), Behavior (will represent itself).

HOLISTIC DEVELOPMENT:
Thoughts, feelings, and behaviors

Have you ever felt inadequate as you grew up? Or have


you been subject to the expectations of the people around
you or yourself? These are examples of how thoughts affect
our attitude and thus, our life. Thoughts usually originate
from things we have learned both in the right way and
wrong way.

Emotions work like an amplifier which determines how our


cognition is experienced, thus expressed. If thoughts start a
concept inside your mind, emotions will bloat the perception
of the thought or minimize it. What is your emotional pace? It
is important to understand your emotions so you could face
it, manage it, and express it in a right way.

Behavior is the primary output of our attitude. This is also the


outlet of our thoughts and emotions.

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 16 of 74

Our thoughts, feelings, and behavior are interrelated.


We may act out what we feel or feel pleasant or
unpleasant after an action. Also, we act according
to what we think. Once action has been done, our
thought analyzes the reaction of the environment to
the action.

Cite a personal experience explaining the interrelatedness of your thoughts, feelings, and
behavior.
Me and my friend are in mcdonalds then we're thinking the same meal that we want.

when it's our turn to order we both say it out loud and lot of people look at us.

after what happen that time we feel embarrassed because it's really embarrassing.

OVERVIEW ON THE ASPECTS OF DEVELOPMENT

 Physical and Neurobiological Development


 Cognitive and Moral Development
 Socio-emotional Development

NEUROBIOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT
PHYSICAL DEVELOPMENT
Brain development continues to mature
The most significant change that a and develop throughout childhood and
human being has to go through occurs adolescence and into early adulthood.
during the stage of puberty. The stage of The brain goes through various stages of
puberty is when the body matures in all building connections with neurons to
aspects, with its sexual characteristics – allow functionalities. Furthermore, the

reproduction. modify its connections as a result of
experiences. This ability of the brain is
called brain plasticity.

STAGES OF COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT


by: Jean Piaget
stage 1
sensorimotor (Birth to 2 years)

The infant explores the world through


direct sensory and motor contact.

stage 2
preoperational (2-7 years)

The child uses symbols to represent objects. At


this stage, the child is egocentric

stage 3
concrete operational (7-11 years)

The child can think logically about


concrete objects.

stage 4
Formal Operational (11 years & up)

The adolescent can reason abstractly and


think in hypothetical terms.

Cognitive development

 The development of our cognitive abilities range from the time


we are born to what we are now.
 Developmental delays can also happen during each stage
because of several factors such as environment, upbringing,
nutrition, and genetic factors.
 Not everyone goes through the same pace at the same time.
Everyone has their particular paces.

LEVELS OF MORAL DEVELOPMENT


by: Lawrence Kohlberg

level 1
pre-conventional morality

 children see rules as fixed


and absolute
 obedience of set rules

level 2
Conventional morality

 focused on living up to social


expectations and roles
 maintaining social order
 respecting authority

level 3
Post- conventional morality

 personal set of morals and ethics


are used to drive behavior
 acts in an independent and
ethical manner

 Moral is the individual’s perceived sense of right from


wrong
 Morality, on the other hand, is the Individual’s ability to
distinguish between right or wrong, and be able to act
on this distinction

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 19 of 74

socio-emotional development

 The connection between social and emotional aspects


strengthens as an individual matures.
 However, things spiral a bit more out of control when
puberty starts as hormones spike up causing mood swings,
growth spurts, emotional variations, and the like.

DURING THIS PHASE ADOLESCENTS:

become conscious with looks and


actions

start to develop own identity

tend to have misunderstanding with


parents and other adults

have different ways of handling and


coping with rejection

Who we are now is the result of all the experiences that we have accumulated through
the years. Life is an upward hill and not a stagnant plateau.

Sigmund freud’S pSychoanalytic theory of perSonality

 Personality develops from the interactions among the three basic


structures of the human mind – Id, Ego, and Superego.
 Conflicts and effort to find balance among these three structures
would determine how we behave in this world.

id: Instinct

 Present at birth  Pleasure principle


 Most primitive  Egocentric

ego: reality

 Decision-making  Reasonable
component  Rational/Logical

superego: morals

 Social rules and morals


 Conscience

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 25 of 74

The Ego serves as the sounding board of the Id


and the Superego

Sigmund freud’S pSychoSexual theory development

 Children go through a series of psychosexual stages that lead to


the development of the adult personality
 According to this theory, there are five stages with Identified
erogenous zones.

Stages Erogenous zones

ORAL STAGE (Birth to 1 year) activities are


mouth-oriented such as sucking, biting and
MOUTH
breastfeeding

ANAL STAGE (1 to 3 years)


the libido now becomes focused on the BOWEL &
anus, and the child derives great pleasure BLADDER
from defecating

PHALLIC STAGE (3 to 6 years)


the child becomes aware of anatomical
GENITALS
sex differences

LATENCY STAGE (6 years to 6 puberty)


no further psychosexual development
takes place during this stage (latent INACTIVE
means hidden)

GENIRAL STAGE (Puberty to Adult)


it is a time of adolescent sexual SEXUAL

erik erikSon’S pSychoSocial theory of development

 The Psychosocial Theory of Development is one of the most well-known and influential
theories of development.
 Like Sigmund Freud, Erikson believed that personality developed in a series of stages.
 However, Erikson focused on psychosocial development rather than psychosexual
development.
 The theory by Erikson defined the effect of social experience and interaction across
the whole lifespan.
 Erikson was interested in how social engagement and relationships played a role in
human development and growth. (Cherry, 2020)
 Each stage in Erikson’s theory is anchored on preceding stages and paves the way
for the subsequent developmental stages.
 Erikson believed that in each stage people encounter a conflict centered on either
developing psychological quality or failing to develop that quality.

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 27 of 74

erik erikSon’S pSychoSocial theory of development

 If an individual has successfully dealt with a conflict, he/she will gain psychological
strengths that would help him/her for the rest of his/her life.
 On the other hand, the individual may not develop the essential skills needed for a
strong sense of self if he/she fails to deal with the conflict. (Cherry, 2020)

 The brain controls our mental processes and behaviors.


 Every component of the brain must work together in order
to keep its body functioning.
 In this lesson you will discover about the structure of the
brain, how it functions, and why we think the way we do.

CEREBRUM

 The largest and uppermost portion of the brain.


 Responsible for most of the brain’s function such as
thought and movement
 It is the brain’s control center.
 It is divided into four lobes – frontal, parietal, occipital,
and temporal.

The brain dominance theory

 The Brain Dominance Theory popularized by Roger Sperry argued


that the brain has two sides – the right hemisphere and the left
hemisphere.
 Each side of the brain controls different types of thinking.
 People are either left-brained or right-brained, meaning that one side
of their brain is dominant.

Now, log-in to your Aralinks account and answer “The


Right and Left Brain Dominance Test”. Once you are done

 Our brain may be divided into two hemispheres but that doesn’t mean that
these halves work independently of each other.
 In fact, the two sides of the brain communicate with each other via the
corpus callosum.
 The two sides function differently but they work together and complement
each other.
 Furthermore, this theory has been debunked and that the right-brain/left-
brain theory is a myth

The whole brain model

 The Whole Brain Theory,


popularized by Ned Herrmann
argued that the brain is
divided into four quadrants
where each part is responsible
for particular abilities.
 The quadrants do not work
independently but rather
functions cooperatively by
integrating information.

 The Whole Brain Model provides an overview of the varying styles of thinking that people
usually have, use, and apply.
 The model also represents the thinking preference of each individual. Although, people
may have a thinking preference, still they have access to all four quadrants.
 Furthermore, different situations require the use of different styles of thinking and may be
used in varying degrees.
 However, these thinking preferences may change overtime due to several factors such
as one’s phase of life, emotional experiences, insights, education etc. (Mulder, 2019)

1. What is your thinking preference based form the Whole Brain Model?
Why?
2. Cite a personal experience that required you to use different styles of
thinking.

Can you handle your emotions well? Are you


emotionally intelligent? In this lesson, you will
acquire a deeper understanding of the different
types of emotions and how to properly express
and manage your emotions.

People vary in many ways which includes how we express and


regulate our emotions. We express our emotions through our
gestures, actions, words, and facial expressions. There are also
several factors that influence how we deal with our emotions such
as our experiences, the environment, the people around us, and
our thinking patterns.

Enrich your knowledge

People feel a multitude of emotions and it could be


overwhelming especially if we do not know how to properly
handle and manage them. Therefore, it is important that we
understand the nature of our emotions so that we will be able
to properly act depending on the emotion that we feel. Once
we can understand our emotion then, we can also relate well
with others.

EMOTIONS AND ITS COMPONENTS

Emotions can be complicated. We can experience several things at once with just
one emotion. For example, we sweat profusely, our heart beats faster, our facial
expression changes, and we feel like running for the hills. What makes us feel that
way? Let us look at the three components of emotions – the biological,
behavioral, and cognitive aspect. Understanding these components will help us
interpret the emotions that we experience.

through our facial expression. For example, a smile is an
indication of happiness, a frown indicates sadness, or we
roll our eyes when we feel annoyed.

Direction: Identify the emotion portrayed by these facial expressions.

Cognitive COMPONENT: subjective Experience

While there are basic universal emotions that people from all walks of life may
experience such as joy, sadness, fear, and anger still, each individual differs in the
level of intensity of experiencing these emotions, thus it becomes subjective. For
example, when watching a horror film you become tensed but the person next to
you is bored while watching the movie.

Directions: Give three words associated/synonymous with the given emotions. Arrange the words
based on their level of intensity and give a concrete example of experiencing these emotions.

Ex: Joy Satisfied - Finishing the exam on time and answering all the
questions confidently.

STRESS AND STRESSORS

STRESS
 A natural response to the demands of our environment.
 The body’s reaction to a challenge, demand or threat.
 It is a feeling of emotional and physical tension. When we are
stressed we usually feel nervous, frustrated, and angry.
 There are two types of stress – Acute Stress and Chronic Stress

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 56 of 74

STRESSors
 Something that causes a state of strain or tension.
 Anything that induces a stress response.

Cite a personal stressor for each type of stressor. What are the effects of these stressors to
your body, emotions, and behavior?

BODY EMOTIONS/MOOD BEHAVIOR
Headache Anxiety Over or under-eating

Muscle tension Restlessness Angry outburst

Chest pain Lack of motivation or focus Using vices

Fatigue Feeling overwhelmed Social withdrawal

Sleep problems Irritability or anger

High blood pressure Sadness or depression

MANAGING STRESS

After you identify the causes of your stress and its harmful effects to your
body, emotions and behavior, how do you think you can manage them?
Reflect on your usual stressors, what are your coping strategies to these
stressors? Do you think they are effective? Is there a need to change these
coping mechanisms?

Coping strategies
Coping is a cognitive or behavior response to stress aimed at managing or
reducing stress. A situation is stressful depending on the perception of an
individual. People perceive stress differently which means varying coping
strategies.

Her peers and teachers admire her for her leadership skills, talents, good academic
standing, and deportment. Since she will be graduating from senior high school this
year, she has started to apply to different universities. But her main goal is to pass the
entrance test and be admitted to UP- her dream school. People around her have high
hopes for her. After taking the entrance exam, she was confident that she will pass.
After months of waiting, the results came in – unfortunately, she did not make the cut.
This setback took a toll on her – she cried hard, could not sleep, lost her appetite and
lost motivation and focus. She even contemplated committing suicide because of the
thought that she disappointed a lot of people.

How can people overcome problems that can maintain their mental health and well-
being despite difficulties in life? In our previous lesson, we discussed about stress and the
coping strategies that we could use to manage them. This lesson will focus on a topic that
is prevalent especially among adolescents. This will also help you to be more aware of the
different factors that influence mental health and how to achieve a sense of well-being.

The concept of mental health and well-being

A state of emotional and psychological


well-being in which an individual is able
to use his or her cognitive and
emotional capabilities, function in
society and meet the ordinary
demands of everyday life.

This is a general feeling of satisfaction


with oneself. It is also described as a
condition of good health, happiness,
and prosperity.

`
IJA-SLM-PD12-Q1 Page 64 of 74

It is crucial that you understand yourself, that you're conscious of your


strengths and limitations and that you thrive in an atmosphere where
things are treated well, because you have control over the situation. A
sense of well-being will not only benefit yourself but it will also
transcend to people around you. The diagram below show the various
areas covered by having a sense of well-being
