Part
2
The Acting Self
As
Feenstra (2013) states:
“Social psychologists are interested in
who we are. We know a great deal about ourselves, and that knowledge
affects how we process information and view the world around us. The
self is a powerful force. The self affects how we feel, what we think
we can do, and what we in fact do.” (pg. 52).
Expanding on
the quotation above, describe how individuals develop a self-concept
and self-schema. Discuss the cultural, social, and
environmental influences on that development. In what ways does our
sense of self determine how we think about others and how we interact
with individuals and groups of people? What is the significance of
the acting self? In your response, be sure to address at least three
of the key concepts presented in Table 2.1 of the reading.
