Self-image is important because how we think about ourselves affects how we feel about ourselves, how we feel about ourselves creates an emotion and the emotion creates our behaviour and the behaviour creates an action so essentially it is a massive part of how we create our own reality, it also has a big part to play in how we interact with others and the world around us. A positive self-image can boost our physical, mental, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being
As you might imagine, self-image is related to what you see when you look in a mirror, however, it goes much deeper than that. Self-image refers to how we see ourselves on a more global level, both internally and externally.
The Elements and Dimensions of Self-Image
Although there is no widely agreed-upon framework for the aspects of self-image, there are some proposed types and dimensions.
The three elements of a person’s self-image are:
1. The way a person perceives or thinks of him/herself.
2. The way a person interprets others’ perceptions (or what he thinks others think) of him/herself.
3. The way a person would like to be (his ideal self).
The six dimensions of a person’s self-image are:
1. Physical dimension: how a person evaluates his or her appearance
2. Psychological dimension: how a person evaluates his or her personality
3. Intellectual dimension: how a person evaluates his or her intelligence
4. Skills dimension: how a person evaluates his or her social and technical skills
5. Moral dimension: how a person evaluates his or her values and principles
6. Sexual dimension: how a person feels he or she fits into society’s masculine/feminine norms
