Step 1: Introducing self

In both psychology and philosophy, the "self" is a central concept with several aspects. The term "self-concept" is used to describe an individual's idea of who they are and what makes them tick. Concepts like self-esteem, self-identity, and self-awareness are all included in the study of the self. A key topic in both psychology and philosophy, the study of the self is essential to the investigation of human behaviour, thought and emotional experience.
