What is the self?


The self is, in part, a cognitive structure, containing ideas about who and what we are. It also has an evaluative and emotional component, because we judge ourselves and find ourselves worthy or unworthy. The self guides our behavior as we attempt to make our actions consistent with our ideas about ourselves. Finally, the self guides us as we attempt to manage the impression we make on others. 自我在某一程度来说，是一种认知结构，它包含了我 是谁和我是什么的一些念头，它也有评估和情感的成 分，因为我们要判断和发现自己是否有价值。自我指 导我们的行为并采取与我们的想法相一致的行动，最 后自我指导我们进行对他人的印象管理
