Identity, self-concept, self-image and personality in psychology?

JonaPinguByJonaPingu

Hello,

I have to give a presentation in my elective psychology course on "Identity and Self-Discovery."

I'm currently researching this and am wondering how identity, self-concept, self-image and personality differ.

I am sure relatively that they are identical in some aspects, but I am also sure that they are different.

Unfortunately, I keep coming across contradictory statements on the websites I have visited, so I just wanted to ask here

I'm really not a professional, but can try:

  • Identity: Identity describes how you perceive yourself as a unique person and what makes you in the core. It's about your understanding of yourself and how you see yourself in the world. Your identity can develop and change over your life.
  • Self-concept: The self-concept is the comprehensive picture you have of yourself. It includes all your thoughts, beliefs and attitudes towards yourself, such as if you think you are creative, sporty or intelligent. It affects how you behave in different situations.
  • Self-image: The self-image is the part of the self-concept that focuses on your subjective perception of yourself. It is as you see yourself in everyday life – for example, whether you feel kind, helpful or shy.
  • Personality: Personality includes the stable and lasting characteristics that shape your behavior, thinking and feeling. These include aspects such as extraversion, compatibility, conscience, openness for experiences and emotional stability.

In summary:

  • Identification : Whoever you are as a person and how you understand yourself.
  • Self-concept : Your comprehensive picture of yourself with all your convictions.
  • Self-image : Your personal and subjective view of yourself.
  • Personal : Your stable character characteristics that shape your behavior.

But as you say, they're kind of overlapping, they're overlapping:

whether you are creative, sporty or intelligent. It affects how you behave in different situations.

Can also be controlled by the self-image if someone has a disturbed self-image it can also lead to all these aspects being disturbed.

Can like answers, and you can look more again. Maybe you understand better.
