Question
Compare and contrast.
Private Self - Objective Self Awareness
Solution
During childhood, a private self-concept develops. The child learns that he/she can lie and keep secrets. They may create a make-believe world e.g., an imaginary friend whom only they can interact with. This is the hidden side of self (thoughts, feelings, desires, behaviours) of which parents, siblings, etc., are unaware. It is an often difficult stage in the development of the self concept.
In adolescence, the objective self awareness stage develops. The person becomes self conscious, cautious about behaviour, appearance, and social interactions. Peer groups and members of the opposite sex assume importance. The adolescent wants to become popular, attractive, and successful. Many individuals have a strong need for approval or acceptance and may just accept their group's manner of functioning.
