Question: 76

1. Each of the following is considered a part of a person's self-concept EXCEPT:

  • A. the past self.
  • B. the ought self.
  • C. the future self.
  • D. self-schemata.

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Self-concept is defined as the sum of all of the ways in which we see ourselves, including who we are, as in choice (D), who we were in the past, choice (A), and who we may become in the future, choice (C). The ought self, while closely related to self-esteem, is our appraisal of how others see us, and is not a part of our self-concept.
