Lead Section
Self concept and identity are highly influenced by culture. Different cultures breed different views of self concept and identity. Self concept and identity begin to take shape at a young age and are continuously being shaped until death. Self-schemas also play an important role in self-concept in identity. The more we know about ourselves, the more we can predict our own behavior in different situations. Self-concept and identity are important. However, there are some things that can cause harm to identity.

1. Plan to look at how self-concept and identity are shaped 2. How self-concept and identity are influenced by culture. 3. Different kinds of self-schemas 4. What can cause harm to self-concept and identity I really just hope to expand this page to in order to have information available that may help others in search of his or her identity and self concept.

Hi Jasmine,

I think that you are off to a great start with your article. I would suggest expanding on each of your sections, while using proper sources, as I am sure is already in your plans. I would also suggest citing the factual information you already have on your article in each of the sections. "One level of analysis is the self on the individual level for example: self-states, self-motives self-esteem, self motives, self efficacy, etc", I bolded the part I wanted to bring to your attention for you to correct. You have two self-motives in that sentence. Overall great start and I look forward to seeing how you expand on your article. Melissa Edwards (talk) 15:53, 2 July 2015 (UTC)

I like how you are dividing the self and cultural motivations. There are just a few grammatical errors that need some attention but otherwise this is great start to your article and I can't wait to see more. Essercc (talk) 17:16, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Hi Jasmine, I think you are doing great so far. The article needs a little tweaking, but nothing that wasn't already mentioned. I can't wait to see the finished result, great progress so far! Sche422 (talk) 23:13, 8 July 2015 (UTC)

Great start to the article! You may want to consider combining the Individual level analysis and Social/cultural level analysis sections. I think it may flow better if you have one heading titled "Levels of analysis" and then have two sub-sections beneath that heading (individual and social). Keep it up!
