Document Summary
Self-evaluation: how good/bad am i? comparing ourselves to standards. Self-regulation: control of behaviour: controlling and guiding our behaviour in line with these issues of self-image and standards. It"s useful to see how much your behaviour is controlled through this process of thinking about yourself and regulating your behaviour in line with your self-concept. Self-consciousness tend to be more focused on themselves rather than other people. Look at individual differences: self-focusing stimuli i. e. doing an experiment while looking into a mirror. Discrepancies if yes negative affect. If you look long enough you"re going to find something wrong with yourself you"re always wanting more and always thinking you should be better. Didn"t want them to look into a camera and fill out some self-esteem scale you don"t want to let people know what we"re studying. Found that seeing your image on camera made them feel less good about themselves. Did their experiment on campus where 81% of them were opposed to cheating.
