Document Summary
According to william james, individual sense of identity is formed by combining these two aspects of the self. To do this, you will need to first decide to attend your psychology classes, complete the assignments, and study for exams. These small deci- sions are consistent with your larger goals. As a decision maker: people make small and large decisions that reflect their principles, goals and values. Forbidden (e. g. , cheesecake), and have probably been unable to resist on at least one occasion this is a failure in self-regulation. Introspection: thinking about your thoughts or feelings; influences the self-concept. Self-awareness theory: people notice self-discrepancies only when they focus on their own behaviour. Self-control - taste perception study: those who were in the radish condition gave up on an impossible puzzle faster than those allowed to eat the chocolate. Escape from self-awareness - can be helpful or detrimental, ex. drinking more to avoid thinking about themselves.
