Slide 8: explain the general trends of sense of self. Slides 9-11 explain the development of sense of self in infancy, early childhood, middle childhood, early adolescence and late adolescence. Slides 13-14: explain gender, cultural and ethnic differences as connected to sense of self. Boys overestimate their abilities while girls underestimate them.
