Jason), related to traits (i. e. i"m good at school, i"m good at hockey) Adolescence: abstract (i. e. i"m complicated, i"m sensitive), personality characteristics. Ideal self who i would like to be . Discrepancies between actual and ideal self lead to negative outcomes i. e. depression or feeling inadequate (mostly in mid-adolescence) Awareness of actually and possible selves can also be a source of motivation. Contradictory self descriptions i. e. i"m shy but fun loving. False self: who i show to others i. e. dating partners > parents > close friends.
