PERSONAL DEVELOPMENT REVIEWER

LESSON1.

 SELF
- the way one sees, perceives, defines oneself apart from the other
- Is the union of elements, namely: body (physical attributes), thoughts (the way you think and perceive
things), feelings or emotions, and sensations
- (your experience prompts you to act and behave the way you do) that constitute the individuality and
identity of a person.

PHYSICAL DIMENSION OF SELF

- revolves around the physical body of the human being. Includes the processes, function mechanism and
chemistry. responsible for giving us the ability to perceive our surroundings, think of ideas and opinions that
bring wonder to our lives and of others.

PSYCHOLOGICAL DIMENSION OF SELF

the individual as a set of characteristics, behaviors, attitudes, cognitions, and emotions.

SPIRITUAL DIMENSION OF SELF

can be subjectively altered and perceived by the person. It holds a relevance to a perceived existence of
God, of a greater good, or of a Superior Being relating to a humble individual.

ATTITUDES AND ITS COMPONENTS

A key factor in personality developments is attitude

-a settled way of thinking and feeling about someone or something, typically reflecting in a person’s
behavior.

ATTITUDE

- manifests itself as behavior, as a representative of personality.

Implicit attitudes, are thoughts or feelings that conscious awareness does not cover

Explicit attitudes, however, can be perceived consciously and expressed accordingly.

THREE COMPONENTS OF ATTITUDE

AFFECT- Is the term used to represent emotions directed to the self, the environment and to others.

COGNITION- is the way we think. It encompasses our thoughts in different levels, ranging from ourselves to
environment, from imaginary to perceivable reality

BEHAVIOR- is the action form or manifestation of attitude. Without attitude, affect and cognition, behavior will be
rendered baseless and ungrounded.
FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE ATTITUDE:

SOCIAL FACTORS

- influence attitude heavily.

- Your roles in a social environment and of course, the social norm that tell you what to do and what to do in
social situation also affect attitude.

LEARNING

- We tend to associate what we observed and employ the same mindset. It is a practical use of classical
conditioning.

*association

*observation

*identification

- seeing and feeling desirable results with repetitive application of stimulus

OPERANT CONDITIONING

- A type of learning where behavior is controlled by consequences/matter of consequences, pleasant or

unpleasant, that our attitude towards it is affected.
- Modelling
*authority
*admiration and adoration
*imitation
*ability to learn through observation

Self-concept is purely or mostly informational

self-esteem is emotionally inclined.

Personal effectiveness means making use of all the personal resources – talents, skills, energy and time, to enable you
to achieve life goals.

Talents first are needed to be identified and then developed to be used in a particular subject area (science, literature,
sports, politics, etc.).

Experience includes knowledge and skills that we acquire in the process of cognitive and practical activities.

Knowledge is required for setting goals, defining an action plan to achieve them and risk assessment.

Skills also determine whether real actions are performed in accordance with the plan.

ADDITIONAL NOTES- Oral Communication

Interactive Model -participants alternate positions between sender and receiver, takes into account the environment or
social context (surroundings) of the sender and receiver, incorporates feedback

component is changing such as the people, their environments and the medium used. Due to this, it assumes the
communicators to be independent and act any way they want.
