A sense of self
Psychologists characterise a person's sense of self by assessing their self-concept clarity.
- People with high self-concept clarity say that they have a clear idea about what they are like, that their sense of who they are becomes stable over time, and that their characteristics and beliefs about themselves are consistent.
- People with low self-concept clarity are unsure of who they are, including their characteristics or desires. The characteristics they use to describe themselves might be contradictory or change from one day to the next.
