    According to Dr. Susan Harter's theory of self-development: 1) In early childhood (ages 0-8), a child's self-concept is based on concrete attributes like physical appearance, possessions, behaviors, and preferences. 2) In middle to late childhood (ages 9-11), the self is described using trait-like constructs such as being smart, honest, or shy. 3) During adolescence (ages 15-19), there is an emergence of more abstract self-definitions involving inner thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and motives through increased introspection.

    HARTER'S SELF-

    DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
    Dr. Susan Harter (1999)
    Development of Self-
    Concept According to
    Harter is as follows:
    EARLY CHILDHOOD (0-8 years old)

    - the child describes the "self" in terms of concrete,


    observable characteristics

    EXAMPLES:
    1. Physical Attributes: ("I'm pretty/ugly/strong")
    2. Material Possessions: ("I have a lot of toys")
    3. Behaviors: ("I love playing with my toys")
    4. Preferences: ("I like candies").
    MIDDLE TO LATER
    CHILDHOOD (9-11 years old)

    -the self is described in terms of


    traitlike constructs

    Examples:

    Smart, honest, friendly, shy


    ADOLESCENCE (15-19 years old)

    -the emergence of more abstract self-


    definition such as:

    Inner thoughts, emotions, attitudes, and


    motives
    - the ability to construct higher-order
    abstractions and the capacity for introspection
    (Harter,1999).
    EMERGING ADULTS
    -the characteristic of "self" is having a vision of a
    "possible self".
    -the "age of possibilities" (Amett,2004a)

    (Whitty,2002)
    -early emerging adult (ages 17-22 )was found to
    be a time of "grand dreams," of being wealthy and
    having a glamorous occupation
    -but beyond emerging adulthood (ages 28-33) is
    the visions of a possible-self became more
    realistic,if still optimistic.
