WHAT IS SELF CONCEPT?

• The sum of feelings, beliefs and impressions that individuals have of themselves - the self perceiving the self

HOW DOES THE SELF CONCEPT DEVELOP?

• Looking-glass self we construct our self-concepts from how we appear to others, which is then reflected back to us

• Reinforcement process:

- internal self concept = consistent and unconditional feedback develops internal standards

- external self concept = inconsistent and conditional feedback makes us dependent on external sources (i.e., other people)

• Social Identity- of a person’s self-image that depend upon the social categories and groups to which he or she belongs

- social categorization: individuals perceive themselves and

others in terms of membership in distinct categories or groups

- the typical norms: attitudes and behaviours that

distinguish the groups determine behaviour to a large degree

- individuals conformation: individuals conform to the

stereotypes associated with the group

- gender:

male masculinity- instrumentality or agency, a concern with achieving goals and being active in the world

female femininity- expressiveness or communion, being other-centered and concerned with interpersonal relationships.  

• Self-perception theory- people become aware of their own attitudes, feelings, values, dispositions and other internal characteristics in the same way that they form impressions of the characteristics of others

- observation of own behaviour:

we first act and then discover our beliefs and values from our own actions

• Social comparison- process by which people tend to compare themselves with someone similar to themselves in opinion, background or ability

- self-assessment: compare to someone equal- self-improvement: compare to someone better- self-enhancement: compare to someone inferior

POSITIVE SELF-CONCEPT

ISLAMIC POINT OF ISLAMIC POINT OF VIEW.VIEW.

Al-Qur’an base.

“This is the Book; in it is guidance sure without doubt, to those who fear

Allah;”

(2:2)

Al-Qur’an have all the guidance we need in order to have a positive self-concept.

SURAH 31:LUQMAN.

In the Name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful.

17. “O my son! Establish regular prayer, enjoin Establish regular prayer, enjoin what is just, forbid what is wrongwhat is just, forbid what is wrong; and bear with patient constancy whatever betide you; for this is firmness (or purpose) in (the conduct) affairs.18. “And swell not your cheek (for swell not your cheek (for pride) at ) at men,men, nor walk in insolence through the earth; for Allah loves not any arrogant boaster.19. “And be moderate in your pace and lower your voice; for the harshest of sounds without doubt is the braying of the ass.”

Establishing regular prayer:

- one way of getting closer to the Creator.

- in our life: - be a discipline person

- be punctual

- keep our promise

What is just and forbid what is wrong.

- remind us not to violate the rules

- it hinder us from commit something that is sinful.

- help us to control our ‘nafs’ and ego.

2. Those who humble themselves in their prayers.

3. Who avoid vain talk

4. Who are active in deed of charity

5. Who abstain from sex

6. Except with those joined to them in the marriage bond, or (the captives) whom their right hand possess-for (in their case) they are free from blame 7. But those whose desires exceed those limits are transgressors

8. Those who fruitfully observe their trusts and their covenants

9. And who (strictly) guard their prayers-

10. These will be the heirs

11. Who will inherit Paradise: they will dwell therein (forever).

CONCLUSION.To in still a positive self-concept, we have to go back to the basic concept in our life-the teaching and practice of Islam.Sayyid Qutb:“Islam is a Deen of peace and conviction

of love.”Never fear any men or allow ‘syaitan’ to control our mind and heart for we should fear Allah s.w.t. as stated in the Qur’an:

• “It is only the Evil one that suggest to you the fear of his votaries: be you not afraid of them, but Fear Me, if you have

Faith”

(2:175)

• “But Fear Allah, and Shame Me not”

(15:69)
