Answer» tion:To this POINT, we have seen, among other things, that human beings have complex and well-developed self-concepts and that they generally attempt to view themselves positively. These more cognitive and affective aspects of ourselves do not, of course, occur in a vacuum. They are heavily influenced by the SOCIAL forces that surround us. We have alluded to some of these forces already; for example, in our review of self-verification THEORY, we saw how feedback from others can affect our self-concept and esteem. We ALSO looked at ways that our sociocultural BACKGROUNDS can affect the content of our self-concept. |
