Self-Concept in Middle Childhood
Captions available
The idea
Self-concept in middle childhood becomes realistic, abstract, multifaceted and evaluative, moving from physical facts, such as hair colour, to traits, abilities and relationships.
In practice
"I'm a good friend, I'm good at gymnastics, and I'm bad at writing."
Where people slip
Children also manage self-projection, presenting themselves differently to different audiences, which requires social competence.
