Define the self-concept. What are some sources of the self-concept?

Our self-concept, which we can define as how we perceive ourselves, plays a central role in our lives. Our self-concept has a significant impact on how we interact with others, how we interact with our families, and our overall health and well-being. If we have a positive view of ourselves, these relationships are impacted positively. But if we have a negative self-concept (in other words if we don't like ourselves, or some major elements of ourselves) this can have a distinctly negative impact.
