★ Age
★ Appearance
★ Culture
★ Media
Infants (0-2 years)
Self concept is mainly limited to descriptions of visible characteristics like boy, girl or even
age.
Children (3 - 8 years)
Children describe themselves in terms of various categories such as hair colour, their family
or even which school they go to. They are also able to start describing how they feel.
Adolescents (9-18 years)
Self-concept is often described in terms of how they compare to others and their
relationships with peers. They can also describe their beliefs and what they think is right or
wrong.
Adults (early adulthood and middle) (19-65 years)
Self-concept develops as individuals develop and become more confident in their personal
relationships and establish themselves in a particular career.
Older adulthood (65+ years)
Most older adults are self-aware and have a lot of ‘wisdom’. Once they have lost their work
role, they may not feel valued.
