  • Self-Concept/Self-Identity: The sum of an individual's knowledge and understanding of themselves, including physical, psychological, and social attributes.
  • Self-Consciousness: Awareness of oneself, distinct from Self-Concept.
• Self-Schemata: Representations of oneself based on various attributes, which contribute to the Self-Concept.
• Types of Identity:
  • Personal Identity: Individual attributes such as intelligence, humor, and athleticism.

  • Ethnicity or race
  • Sexual orientation
