PSYC 215 Lecture Notes - Socioeconomic Status, Stage Fright
Document Summary
Need to predict responses of others in order to have positive social interactions. If others view me di erently than i view myself then. Epistemic (know you aren"t being yourself) and performance anxiety. People with a positive self image go for favourable feedback. Most people with a negative self concept preferred people who saw them in a negative way as opposed to positive. They see people who see them negatively as knowing them better. Automatic response is yes, i like that. People with low self esteem then control the response by saying, oh wait that doesn"t t me. Enduring relationships (want the other person to know the true you) We strive for goals to gain a self de nition. Di culty in pursuing the goal is a threat to self de nition. We compensate with other symbols to complete the self de nition.
