If he has good self-concept, he will see the feedback as a chance to weigh things, improve self and deepen his self-understanding. However, if he has otherwise, he may not accept the feedback, feel bad about it and possibly even refuse to recognize the experience and/or the person/s involved in it. This denial to address the event may ultimately cause social and individual stagnation.
The interplay of self-concept and emotions affect one's self-esteem. Poor self-concept results to a low aspiration in achieving things which when confronted may lead to emotions like anxiety, humiliation or self-deprecation. These feelings, if not addressed, will consequently lower self-esteem and undesirably lessen one's outlook of self and life. As Mecca (1989) explained:
"For persons with high self-esteem, shame is painful but not overwhelming. Such persons have sufficient experiences of pride in their lives that they can usually manage the shame they experience. [But] Persons with low self-esteem appear to lack sufficient experiences of pride to be able to manage shame; for them, shame is a calamity, to be avoided at all costs. When it cannot be avoided, its effects are often disruptive or even catastrophic."
One's Self and Behavior and how it Affects His Self-Presentation
The 4th edition of the American Heritage Dictionary defined Behavior as "the actions or reactions of a person or animal in response to external or internal stimuli." To explain the relationship between self-concept and behavior, Milliken (1998) said that "behavior is an accurate indicator of one's self-concept." To illustrate, timidity may reflect uncertainty and expression of own view may show confidence.
The two aspects of an individual above affect how...
If his behavior is in line with his self-concept, a promotion of his integrity results which enhances the way he sees and presents himself. However, if the two do not agree, like him believing he is virtuous but doing otherwise, the inconsistency may eventually confront him and his self-presentation may get affected.
As a whole, one's self-concept is a key determinant in his development as a person and as a member of the society. His understanding and acceptance of self will govern his interaction and engagement in relationships. He must to work towards discovery of self to eventually grow old with integrity and self-worth.

Self-Determination Theory One interesting concept that comes up in many social science issues is that of self-determination. In the political process, the ideals of self-determination were popularized during the Enlightenment Period as a way to actualize the individual against repressive governments. From a sociological perspective, even famous novels like Mary Shelley's Frankenstein posit that the nature of humanity surrounds the idea of being able to make appropriate decisions in ways that
" Success over pretensions equals self-esteem." Albrecht (Ibid) cites that William James (1890) formulated the "simple" equation. Self-esteem, according to some psychologists qualifies as an answer for numerous individual and societal concerns. Regarding this contention and accumulated self-esteem research, Roy Baumeister, psychologist and professor, commissioned to survey American Psychological Society literature on self-esteem, determines: "These studies show not only that self-esteem fails to accomplish what we had hoped, but also that
Internalizing the views of others results in a failure to take risks, like the hypothetical case of 'Myrtle' who refused to learn how to drive because she believed what her children told her, that she knew nothing about cars (Sherfield 36). Don't rely solely on others for self-assessments suggests Sherfield. What is 'realistic' may differ for both authors. For Brown, realistic may be more in the sense of measurable outcomes,

Positive response: I would acknowledge that the family tradition was
b. Nurse Nurses are the facilitators of health. They work both with the patients and all types of physicians or healthcare providers to ensure that the needed healthcare and/or medical service is given. Nurses, therefore, are very much important in maintaining a healthy and well taken care of patients. c. Health At any given time or date, health should always be the main concern of any human being. If one's health is down,
Self-reflection is one of those things that build a person. It draws a line between the person you were, and the person you are now. This allows growth and progress, it forces the person to acknowledge their faults and move on. The end of a class and the drawing near of the semester is a great time for such self-reflection. This class was intended to bring a certain level of understanding,
