AP PSYCHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -What is a positive self-concept? It is a growing belief about yourself that helps you to cope successfully with the events in your life, and then to make a positive impact on the lives of others.

Detailed explanation-2: -Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves and how we interact with others and the world around us. A positive self-image can boost our physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.

Detailed explanation-3: -The true self-concept may be defined as a cognitive schema representing those aspects of the self that are considered, by the person, to be most emblematic of his or her true nature. Of course, the individual’s assessment of the contents of the true self may not coincide with a person’s “real” true self.
