Hannah hopes to become a professional musician someday. According to Albert Bandura, the best way to increase her self-efficacy in this particular area of behavior is to develop a congruent self-concept that coincides with unconditional positive concern.
What is the meaning of congruent self?
- Congruence occurs when perceptions of the real and ideal selves are nearly identical, i.e. when the concept of the ideal self matches the actual self. Unity promotes self-esteem and promotes a healthier, more productive life.
- Self-concepts do not always match reality. When it matches, your self-concept is said to match (congruent).
- If there is a gap between the way you see yourself (self-image) and who you want to be (ideal self), your self-concept will be inconsistent (incongruent).
- The closer our self-image and ideal self are to each other, the more consistent and aligned we are, and the higher our self-esteem. Denial or a distorted self-image leads to a state of disharmony which can have a negative effect on self-esteem.
How can congruent self-concept be achieved?
- Pay attention to what you are feeling and what you are thinking. A necessary beginning to achieving harmony is to become aware of our inner state.
- Be yourself.
- Don't hide behind facades.
- If you are wrong, own it.
- If there is no answer to your question, please admit it.
