    Differentiate between Personal Self and Social Self.                                                              (Delhi board 2010)

    Answer:

    Ans.     Personal Self:
    Personal self leads to an orientation in which one feels primarily concerned with oneself.
    After fulfilling biological needs other components like personal freedom, personal responsibility, personal achievement or personal comfort, emerges as a part of personal self.
    It is different from personal identity, e.g., “I am A.K. Bhatnagar.” This is my personal identity. “I desire to teach in university.” This is my personal self.
    Social Self:
    Social self emerges in relation with others.
    It emphasizes on aspects of life as co-operation, unity, affiliation, sharing and sacrifice etc. It focuses on family and relationship, therefore it is also called relational or familial self.
    Social self is different from social identity, e.g., “I am a psychology teacher in a School” is my social identity. “I am an understanding and empathetic teacher” is my social self.
