- Episode 1 of 2.
Who do you think you are? In this first of a two part series describing the psychological study of the self, I discuss the self-concept, what it's made up of, and what affects it.
In next week's episode I will discuss the idea of self-construal, another fascinating element of the psychological study of the self. Hit subscribe to make sure you don't miss it!
What do you think of the self-concept? Is there anything missing? What is your self-concept? Let me know in the comments section beneath the video!
Also, please share the video with a friend who sprung to your mind when watching the video. It really helps me, and they'll sincerely appreciate you thinking of them!

Interesting, Alan McConnell’s multiple self-aspect framework makes sense.. I often feel like I see people behave differently or live up to a different role when meeting up with old school/college friends for example.. revisiting habits and behaviours (uncharacteristically immature) of a deeply rooted old version of their self-concept I guess?..
Absolutely Barcatones! That is an astute observation of yours. Perhaps some self-concepts have different ages? Extremely interesting. What do you think?
McConnell's explanation is very intuitively satisfying in this regard. Another potential explanation for these kinds of observations is how a person construes their idea of self - the topic of episode 2
ruclips.net/video/G3sctTLu3BQ/видео.html.
Self construal theory provides an explanation for why different people might behave more or less consistently in different situations. I found this theory extremely surprising, because I assumed that consistency was universally considered as a virtue - this is not the case!
Personally, I find the idea of self-construal more satisfying than McConnell's multiple self-aspect theory. What's your preference?
@@PatsPsychologyMSc Yes. Perhaps the you of yesteryear is always present, it just needs a certain environment to expose it. I’m glad you were able to elaborate on this whole topic in Part 2 of the video, it certainly made me question my own self-concept and values.
@@Barcatones Another way to visualise your self is something that is constantly layering with time. This is in contrast to the impermanent view of the self that Buddhist philosophy adopts - a view which I too hold. What do you think?
I hope you enjoy part 2! I'm excited to read your thoughts on self-construal!
While I found the authenticity to be homogeneous across the duration of this episode, I found the use and non-use of capitalisation to be highly inconsistent. I wonder if that is part of your cultural background. And will youdell deeper into it in next week's episode? Either way I have already subscribed because it's so handy to have these videos come up in my personalised feed on RUclips without having to even pay for it 👍
I apologise that I infringed upon your sensitivity to inconsistency Snippets! I play fast and loose with my capitalisation... living life on the edge!
@@PatsPsychologyMSc I was wondering if some of the capitalisations were somehow self actualised......
@@SnippetsCutTheBull great to see you using the lingo! Do you enjoy the terminology or consider it psychobabble?
I found this week's episode very informative and am eagerly looking forward to part 2 next week!
@@bernadettemckeown7291 thank you very much Bernadette! Did you find anything I said about the self-concept controversial?
What's the product placement going on in the background?
I like to display the two books I'm reading at the moment. This week it's Behave by Robert Sapolsky and "The Moral Arc" by Michael Shermer!
@@PatsPsychologyMSc do they have information like what is in the video, or are they mostly unrelated? Worth giving them a mention if they're any use? again With the inconsistent Use of " - this Time with the Book Titles....
@@SnippetsCutTheBull Both books are in a similar field, but their material is largely unrelated to the specific content of this video. I'm a great proponent of the unity of knowledge, and I try not to demarcate between what are traditionally considered different fields of research/inquiry. What do you think about the unity of knowedge?
I told you Snippets, I play fast and loose sometimes!
