PSY110-Wk 2 Discussion: Self-Perception

Whether you are at home, at work, or in school, your thoughts and actions will determine how you feel about yourself.

Discover

Self-image is how you see and think about yourself—your skills, abilities, successes, failures, etc. Self-esteem is how much you value or respect yourself, including your self-image. Self-acceptance is acknowledging and accepting what is true about you.

Reflect

Consider whether you see yourself in a positive light (self-image). Do you value and respect yourself (self-esteem)? Do you accept the person you are (self-acceptance)? Are you satisfied with the way you see, value, and accept yourself?
