Document Summary

Self: the sum total of who you are. Psychologist karen horney defines self as that central inner force, common to all human begins and yet unique in each, which is the deep source of growth . Who you are is also reflected in the attitudes, beliefs, and values that you hold: these are learned constructs that shape your behavior and self image. Attitude: a learned predisposition to respond to a person, object, or idea in a favourable or unfavourable way: reflect what you like and what you don"t like. Beliefs: the ways in which you structure your understanding of reality what is true and what is false: most of our beliefs are based on previous experience. Attitude and beliefs function independently of one another: you may have a favourable attitude towards something and still-believe negative things about it. Beliefs have to do with what is true or not true; attitudes reflect likes and dislikes.
