Document Summary
Illusion of transparency: the illusion that our concealed emotions leak out and can be easily read by others: overestimate the extent of how much people can estimate or internal states depending on our external behaviour. Social surroundings affect our self-awareness: members of specific culture, race, gender or social class may notice differences to others and notice how others react to those differences, may lead people to feel self-conscious. In hopes of making a positive impression put effort into appearance: monitor others" behaviour and expectations and adjust own behaviour accordingly. Social relationships help define our self: varying selves" in varying relationships, e. g. different self" around teachers vs. around friends/family, thoughts on ourselves linked to whom we are in a relationship at that moment. Self-concept: a person"s answers to the question who am i?": thoughts we have about our own, personality, relationships, bodies, beliefs.
