To prepare for the next context of practice seminar I have created a few notes on the overall purpose and ideas within the theories.
The ideal self is who we truly believe we are as a person. However the performances of ourselves is called a situational self and this changes, it is fluid and will change based on their company and social implications. "Moment to moment interaction".
Rewards based on forms of self and representation:
extrinsic: based on money, intrinsic based on personal pride and also the third which is support for an identity, respect from others.
"The situational self determines a persons preferences about which role identities he or she will enact in a given situation".
When given good responses to a certain form of self the person will want to gain more of this feeling and therefore enact this form of self more often pushing this form of self further up the hierarchy.
The principle self contains certain cultural values and beliefs (ideologies) this affects how a person will behave based on their own values and beliefs with their own society. A program level identity is the goals an individual wishes to seek.
Forms of self are determined by the link between "self" and social, cultural and dominant ideologies within their own societies.
Multiple forms of self are:
The individual self conception, role identity based on the occasion and also social identity tied to a particular group.
A persons identity can be split into four too. The first being personal identity (core identity) this is the fundamental cognitions and feelings people have about themselves.
Social identities are the cognitions and feelings people have of themselves as members of social categories (eg. gender, sexual preference, ethnicity, class).
Group identities are the feelings about self that stem from membership of a group or organisation.
Role identities are the parts people play in any social context but particularly in conjunction with membership in corporate units for example jobs and professional roles.
It will be interesting to discuss the theories as a group and gain other peoples opinions on the written piece as well as gaining more knowledge and understanding on identity.
