Self Concept Mind Map: Structure and Key Parts
A self concept mind map shows how a person's view of who they are is built up and organized. Self-concept is usually divided into self-image, which is how you see yourself, and the ideal self, which is how you wish to be. Self-esteem is the evaluative part, judging how much you value yourself. Mapping these parts side by side makes their links easier to see.
- Self-image: the beliefs a person holds about their traits and abilities
- Ideal self: the qualities a person hopes or aims to have
- Self-esteem: the overall value a person places on themselves
- Sources: family, peers, culture and experiences that shape self-concept
Use the map to review for exams, compare your self-image with the ideal self, or plan an essay. CogniGuide can build a personalized self concept map from your own notes so your study map matches your course.
