Write short note :Rentsch and Heffener’s research

Answer»
  • Rentsch and Heffner conducted research on the dimensions of selfconcept. 
  • When they asked 20 questions to 200 university students, they found eight categories by which the participants defined themselves. 
  • Some of the categories were concerned with personal attributes, such as interpersonal characteristics (e.g. I am a student), interest (e.g. I like dancing), personal beliefs (e.g. I am against child abuse), and self-awareness (e.g. I don’t get angry without a valid reason). 
  • Others referred to the social environments such as ascribed characteristics (e.g. I am a citizen of India) or social differentiation (e.g. I am from another country). 
  • Although our answers to specific questions related to self-concept can be different, the overall organization of self-concept is common for all.
