Five main aspects of self-concepts: academic competence, social competence, athletic competence, physical appearance, and behavioral conduct.
How children form these self-evaluations:
Children have an improved ability to understand the views that other people have of them.
Children engage in a process of social comparison (comparing self to others on a dimension such as academic competence, physical appearance, etc.)
Self- evaluations in the five areas each make independent and cumulative contributions to overall self-worth, meaning that self-evaluation could be low in one area, and high in four others.
This leads to overall high self-esteem.
For younger children, physical appearance makes a strong contribution to self-esteem.
