Question

1. identification roles arent just \out there\. they also become part of our personality, i.e we identify with the positions we occupy, the roles we play, and the groups we belong to

but just as important as all these factors is the influence of our parents (see coopersmiths research.)
ideal self
what youd like to be
if there is a mismatch between how you see yourself (e.g. your self - image) and what youd like to be (e.g. your ideal self) then this is likely to affect how much you value yourself. therefore, there is an intimate relationship between self - image, ego - ideal and self - esteem. humanistic psychologists study this using the q - sort method
a persons ideal self may not be consistent with what actually happens in life and experiences of the person. hence, a difference may exist between a persons ideal self and actual experience. this is called incongruence
20 where a persons ideal self and actual experience are consistent or very similar, a state of congruence exists. rarely, if ever, does a total state of congruence exist; all people experience a certain amount of incongruence. the development of congruence is dependent on unconditional positive regard.⁶ rogers believed that for a person to achieve self - actualization they must be in a state of congruence.
michael argyle (2008) says there are four major factors which influence its development:

• the ways in which others (particularly significant others) react to us
• how we think we compare to others
• our social roles
• the extent to which we identify with other people
