1. Self and Self-development

  • Self is not only the ego; in Indian thought, the ego is only a reflection of Brahman or pure consciousness.
  • The ego performs body and mind functions and is known as 'I' or 'Ahankar'.
  • Self-concept changes during life and affects relationships, behaviour, and social functioning.

2. Development of Self Across Life Stages

  • Infants develop visual self-recognition by age two, but clear self-awareness is not present even in the third year.
  • During childhood, the idea of self remains concrete.
  • During adolescence, identity becomes more subtle and many adolescents face identity confusion.
