  • What is it that allows humans to develop self consciousness?

    A person achieves self-consciousness by becoming aware of this social identity. Awareness of one's distinct social identity as a person separate from others. Human beings are not born with self-consciousness but acquire an awareness of self as a result of early socialization.

    What is the self sociology quizlet?

    The self. our experience of a personal identity that is separate and different from all others. we develop this by comparing ourselves to others. -it can range from positive to negative. -it can affect all relationships in our life.

    Which of the 3 main theoretical perspectives says that we develop a sense of self and gain our identity through social interactions and the whole socialization process?

    Symbolic interactionism also suggests that our identity or sense of self is shaped by social interaction. We develop our self-concept by observing how others interact with us a label us. By observing how others view us, we see a reflection ourselves that Cooley calls the “looking glass self.”

    Who focused on the development of self through social processes and how individuals develop a sense of who they are through interactions with others?

    Psychoanalyst Sigmund Freud (1856–1939) was one of the most influential modern scientists to put forth a theory about how people develop a sense of self. He divided the maturation process into stages, and posited that people's self-development is closely linked to their early stages of development.
