Answer:
Ans. Self is an organized cognitive structure. It refers to the totality of one's conscious experiences, ideas, thoughts and feelings with regard to himself or herself. It is acquired and can be changed by the external environment. It involves mental representation of one's personal experiences and thought processes. The self can be understood in terms of 'I' i.e., the subject and 'Me' i.e., the object. The I aspect of self is the lower Knower whereas the Me aspect is the Known. e.g. "I am a teacher" is my 'I' whereas getting knowledge from any source gives me pleasure, is my 'Me'. Self has two components one real self and another ideal self. Real or possible self is what we might become or should become an ideal self is what we aspire or want to achieve. We are not born with the notion of our self. It starts developing at the age of two years, due to social interaction with parents, peers, teachers, relatives, etc.
