 Theories generally see the self and identity as mental
constructs. Sigmund Freud saw the self, its mental
processes and one's behavior as the results of the
interaction between the structures of personality. As in the
abovementioned definitions of the self, social interaction
always has a part to
play in who we think we are.
Theory of Symbolic
Interactionism
Under the theory of symbolic interactionism, Mead argued that the self is created
and developed through human interaction. There are three reasons why self and
identity are social products:

1. We do not create ourselves out of nothing.

2. Whether we like to admit it or not, we actually need others to affirm and reinforce
who we think we are.

3. What we think as important to us may also have been influenced by what is

important in our social or historical context.
Social interaction and group affiliation are vital factors in creating our self-concept
especially in the aspect of providing us with or social identity. However, there are times
when we are aware of our self-concepts, also called self-awareness. Carver and Scheier
identified two types of self that we can be aware of

The Private

good representation of yourself to others.
Self-awareness also presents us with at least three other
self-schema:

Actual
who you are at the moment.
Self
Ideal

Self to be

Ought
who we think
Selfwe should be
Self-awareness may be positive
or negative depending on the
circumstances and our next
course of action. It can keep
you doing something
dangerous.

At other times, we may

experience deindividuation or
the loss of individual self-
awareness and individual
accountability in groups.
Self-esteem
Our group identity and self-awareness also has a great impact on our self-esteem. Self-
esteem is our own positive or negative perception or evaluation of ourselves. One of the
ways in which our social relationships affects our self-esteem is through social
comparison.
Downward Social
Comparison
comparing ourselves with those people who are worse off than us.

Upward Social
comparing ourselves with Comparison
those people who are better off than us
Social comparison entails what is called self-evaluation maintenance theory
which states that we can feel threatened when someone out-performs us. In this
case, we react in three ways:

• We distance ourselves from the person or redefine our relationship with them.
• We may reconsider the importance of the aspect or skill in which you were out-
performed.
• We may also strengthen or resolve to improve that certain aspect of ourselves.
However, in the attempt to increase or maintain
self-esteem, some people become narcissistic.
Sometimes, there is a thin line between high
self- esteem and narcissism and there are a lot
of test and measurements for self-esteem but
the issue is that the result can be affected by
the desire of the person to portray herself In a
positive or advantageous way.
