Know Who You Are: Accurate Self-Perception
Establishing accurate self-perception can help children, teachers, and parents identify not only areas of excellence but also areas in need of more attention. This book guides young readers in establishing healthy self-perception by identifying strengths and areas for improvement. Through a series of real-life examples, such as keeping a journal, seeking and accepting feedback, and exercising critical thinking regarding beliefs and values, readers are given the tools they need to learn about themselves in constructive and positive ways.

Self-perception of Character
Seminar paper from the year 2009 in the subject Psychology - Social Psychology, grade: 1,3, University of Cologne (Wirtschafts- und Sozialpsychologie), course: Seminar: Self and Self-Insight, language: English, abstract: Do you know who you are? Can you accurately predict how you will behave in a certain situation? What do you know about your character traits? Research has shown that most people think they themselves know they character better than anyone else and could predict their future and daily behavior more accurately than anyone else (Pronin, Kruger, Savitsky&Ross, 2001; Vazire & Mehl, 2008). This sounds logical, because a person has accumulated lots of information about himself as well as experience during his whole life and has privileged access to his feelings and thoughts. But do these predictions correspond with the reality? Or are there motives that deform our self-evaluation? In this term paper I will analyze how we perceive ourselves, whether we accurately perceive our character traits and which factors influence our self-evaluation.

This volume is organized around the theme of the self as viewed through the lens of various subspecialities within the field of psychology. It is a collection of papers presented at a series of lectures given during the 1994-96 meetings of the Psychology Section of the New York Academy of Sciences.

The text demonstrates how different fields of psychology approach a common topic. Contributing psychologists include: Susan Andersen; Mahzarin R. Banaji; Jerome Bruner; Gordon Gallup; John Kihlstrom; Stanley Klein; Michael Lewis; Ulrich Neisser; Katherine Nelson; and Howard Rachlin.
Perception of Self in Emotional Disorder and Psychotherapy
One's view of self has pervasive and significant effects socially, psychologi cally, and even biologically. Regardless of theoretical differences, most psycho therapists agree that perception of self in one way or another profoundly impacts emotional satisfaction, behavioral adaptation, and rational thinking. Self-accep tance has played a major role in almost every major theory of personality. Despite its recognized importance over the years, only recently has the percep tion of self received vigorous research attention as a central variable in the development and maintenance of psychological dysfunction and as a mediating mechanism in effecting psychological change. Several lines of evidenc...
Self-Concept Clarity
This welcome resource traces the evolution of self-concept clarity and brings together diverse strands of research on this important and still-developing construct. Locating self-concept clarity within current models of personality, identity, and the self, expert contributors define the construct and its critical roles in both individual and collective identity and functioning.
