When we talk about self-concept, we are referring to the general idea a person develops about themselves in different aspects of their life. It is the sum of beliefs we have about our personal qualities. It is made up of two elements: personal identity (personality traits, tastes, personal vision, thoughts, ideas, and beliefs) and social identity (friendships, family, activities, leisure, etc.). Self-concept is closely linked to self-esteem because a negative self-concept leads to low self-esteem, while a positive self-concept leads to high self-esteem.
