Abstract

The article singles out and analyzes the main theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of the social self as a component of the self-concept in modern psychological science. The following essential aspects of the self-concept are distinguished: 1) the self-concept as a means of ensuring the internal coherence of the individual (as a system of representations, judgments, beliefs and evaluations of the individual about oneself); 2) the self-concept as an interpretation of personal and social experience; 3) I-concept as a set of expectations in the process of social interaction. Of particular importance in our study is the social character of the self-concept, it acts simultaneously as a prerequisite and consequence of social life, social interaction, determined by social experience. It is determined that the social self in the structure of the self-concept on the one hand is represented as a system of identifiable identities, social roles, attitudes and values recognized by the individual, and on the other – a set of ideas about oneself obtained through experience and interpretation of the influence of the environment, significant other social image of I.
