Teacher:




            “You talk too much!”

            “You never finish your homework in time!”


            “You don’t pay attention in class!”

            “The way you are going, you will find it difficult to get admission in any good

            college!”




            Friend:




            “You are very straightforward; you should be more diplomatic!”


            “X has said that he will beat you in the race! He is practicing very hard!”

            Should we form a self concept on the basis of above views, which are all well

            meaning, but reflect the insecurities of the Mother, Teacher and Friend? Is

            there another way to form a self concept?




            Introspection:




            This is another method. You assess yourself based on self analysis and ignore

            the views of others. This method has only limited reliability. We may over-


            rate/ underrate our positive/ negative traits. Our assessment is subjective

            and ignores the value of demonstrated behaviour.




            Let us learn about a very important research- “Self fulfilling Prophecy”.
