I chose the topic of self-concept through interpersonal communication because I had an interest in it. This interest is because I didn’t understand that one’s self-concept affected the way one is perceived by others. I learned self-concept through class discussions, but I wanted a better understanding of how communication affects one’s self-concept and how it affects one’s perception One's self-concept affects one's perception, attitude and behavior, which can be demonstrated during the process of interpersonal communication. Aspects of one's life influence their self-concept, which not only affect how people perceive them but how they perceive themselves. Such things are gender, motivational level and psychological type. It is widely known that in order to communicate with others one must first understand oneself. This is self-concept, and affects the way one communicates. In the process of communication, self-knowledge and the way one feel about oneself is revealed to others, and affects how others react to them. Consequently, the perceptions one believes others have of them affect how they receive their communication, which influences their response.

In order to understand how one perceives situations and how they can determine the way one communicates; we first must understand the value of self-concept. Self is easily defined; it is one's beliefs, attitudes, feelings and values. It is who one is and what one stands for. Self-concept, is a relevantly stable set of perceptions and emotional states. It is the way one sees and understands oneself, and contributes to how one perceives oneself and perceives situations. One's self-concept may alter their perception, and either enhance or impede one's communication effectiveness. The way one sees oneself can influence the way they see their social surroundings. Only after one become aware of oneself can they be aware of their physical and social surroundings, which will allow one to perceive situations and people with a truer idea and create a more positive outcome.

Communication affects self-concept and self concept affects how one communicates. If one has poor self-concept and sees oneself as unworthy then they will present themselves this way, which will result in a negative response from people. If one feels good about oneself, they will present themselves as worthy, which will result in a more pos... ... middle of paper ... ... communication. Without understanding oneself, it is impossible to have clear communication with anyone else. Self-concept affects one's attitude, perception and behavior, and without having good self-concept it is impossible to communicate clearly. Three aspects discussed that have affect on self-concept are gender, motivational level and psychological types. These all play an essential role in the way one communicate. A large portion of one's self-concept comes from past experience, and the people that surround them. Therefore one's perceptions, behaviors, attitudes gain from experience and people may alter one's self-concept.

Your experiences, attitude and beliefs are part of what makes you who you are. They affect how you think, what you do and how you do it. Your background, upbringing, experiences and relationships will all have played a part in the way you see things. Sometimes your attitudes and beliefs could lead you to assume things about people that are not right or fair. It is important that you realise this and develop self awareness so that you can learn to check that this does not happen. You should take the time to learn about and understand the different attitudes and beliefs of others so that you can work with individuals in a way that takes these into account.

Beliefs are:

things in life that you feel strongly about, that guide you in your daily life and are linked very closely to your morals and values. An example of a belief is to practice a religion such as Catholicism etc.
Our beliefs might not necessarily be based on facts but an opinion.
Our beliefs are not just formal ones e.g. about religion but can be about other things such as what we regard as right or wrong

Attitudes – are the approaches, opinions and mind-set that you have develop through your upbringing and life and learning experiences.

Personal Values are:

The principles and standards upon which we lead our lives
They are influenced by our beliefs, our background, education, and our individual and wider social networks
Some of our personal ideas can originate from prejudice, myths and assumptions
We need to be aware of how our values influence what we do
We were not born with values but acquire them throughout our lives. They are something that can be changed.

Professional Values are:

The principles which guide our professional practice.

Organisational Values are:

The principles which guide the services we provide.

Conflicts between personal and professional/ organisational values

When we work in social care we need to be aware that some of our personal values might be at odds with the values which we are required to hold with our work.
Previous experience in our private and working lives and the way we have been socialised and educated together with those with whom we socialised and live, can be positive or negative influences on what think and do.
Through education and professional training we are able to become aware of the impact of our actions, identify and address our prejudices and assimilate the values of our profession.
When we take on a post in social care we are agreeing to hold and apply the values of the profession and have a contractual obligation to work with them.
