Description

Self means one's opinion about oneself, self is expressing in term

of mine and it is a product of social interaction. It may be pointed out

that the concept of self, is analogous to the concept of ego, in that both

represent sub-systems which are concerned with evaluation, decision

making, planning and coping. Roger's new point, however extends

further to include self identity in an individual towards growth and

self-confidence.

The extent to which an individual is confident of his abilities also

seems to be an important factor in conformity to social pressures

persons who have confidence in their own judgments are more resistant

to pressures to conform than those who do not have this confidence

Intelligence and confidence in one's own abilities determine the extent

of conformity.
