The consciousness can be regarded as idea of the person of itself and assessment of own personality. This phenomenon includes several components: image I, self-assessment and behavioural aspect.
Structure of consciousness: image I and self-assessment
There are several views of the consciousness nature therefore definitions can differ. In a general view, consciousness – complex structure of mentality. She allows the person to realize and estimate the actions, thoughts, feelings, ideals, motives. Thanks to her the person feels as separate reality which it is possible to learn as well as the outside world. Formation of consciousness actively proceeds at teenage age.
Components of consciousness differ in variability, throughout life they can be adjusted. The consciousness consists of ideas of itself, emotional assessment of these representations and behavioural reactions. The behavior is caused by the first two components.
Idea of themselves seem to the person true, irrespective of existence of objective proofs. To describe itself, people usually use a number of adjectives, in this way it is possible to learn about self-perception of the specific person. This list during the different periods of life contains various characteristics. The question concerning the validity of such data on itself remains open. Some representations were created by the person independently, influenced other of them a remark and assessment of others. The emotional component of consciousness is presented by a self-assessment. Simple words, this attitude towards. Also this judgment of own value. The self-assessment shows degree of self-esteem and the positive attitude towards itself. The self-assessment is created with the participation of foreign estimates, after comparison of with others, comparison of the ideal with reality and the analysis of results of the actions. The inadequate self-assessment interferes with self-knowledge and affects behavior.
Behavioural aspect and that affects it
The behavioural component is caused previous by two. They consist of powerfully implanted installations directed to themselves. Distinguish several types of such installations. Real I – perception of now. Mirror I – so, according to the person, he is taken a detached view. It as a peculiar feedback, a response to the person in the outside world. Existence mirror I allow to bring corrections in real. Ideal I am what a person would like to be. It can be qualities or roles. The more the divergence between real and ideal I, the is stronger the internal conflict. I in the future – model Ya which is created by the person as the forecast concerning itself. Those components which are regarded as really achievable enter the future I.
