The Concept of “the self”

The Concept of “the self”-Prepare a minimum of 1,700 word (no maximum) paper in which you examine the concept of “the self.” As a part of your examination, be sure to address the following items:

• Define the concept of “the self” in the social world.
• Apply the concepts of “the self” to your own life, including self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy.  Also relate these concepts back to the research from the book and peer reviewed sources.
• Describe at least two social experiences or events that have impacted your own personal development.
• Any assignment that has more than 15% of the paper quoted (properly or improperly) will be subject to a point deduction or discipline action in the case of intentional plagiarism.  Be sure that you view the rubric for a more thorough discussion of paper requirements.
  • You must use the textbook as part of your paper. Texbook name is below:
  • Social Psychology, Tenth Edition
    ISBN: 9780073370668 Author: David G. Myers
    Copyright © McGraw-Hill Company (2010)
  • You must use exclusive peer reviewed research – no old textbooks, no websites, no encyclopedias, no dictionaries.  Using these resources will result in failing grades.

As this is an upper division psychology class, the proper use of APA formatting will be required and will be a graded focus on all papers within this course.
