About Self Concept Maps

A concept map about self organizes how a person understands who they are. The self-concept is the set of beliefs a person holds about their own traits, abilities and roles. It links closely to self-esteem, the value a person places on themselves, and to self-awareness, the ability to observe one's own thoughts and behavior. Mapping these ideas shows how they influence each other.

  • Self-concept: beliefs about your own traits, abilities and roles
  • Self-esteem: the overall value you place on yourself
  • Self-awareness: noticing your own thoughts, feelings and actions
  • Social influences: how family, peers and culture shape identity

Use the map to review each branch before an exam or class discussion. Create your own map with CogniGuide from your notes to see how your ideas connect.
