If you had a picture that revealed the way you think and feel about yourself, what would that image look like? What would others think and feel about you if they saw it? You can think about self-concept as the picture made up of everything about yourself: your likes, dislikes, emotional states, talents, interests, even your physical appearance. Your picture will also include what you believe others think and feel about you. Usually, these additions are others’ observations of your behaviors or accomplishments.

Sound familiar? Social media sites like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram are platforms we use to display (and in many ways construct) our self-concepts. But social media only shows part of our self-concept because people tend to share only positive things about themselves on social media sites. In an article for InsideHigherEd.com, Lisa Lebduska described the Facebook phenomenon this way: “Facebook must be recognized for what it is — a medium that invites carefully polished reflections of our favorite self.”

If self-concept is the picture, self-esteem is what you feel when you look at that picture. Self-esteem is not about the picture itself, but about self-worth. Do you feel “good” or “bad” about yourself? Are you happy, disappointed, satisfied? Ultimately, the way you “see yourself” shapes how you communicate about yourself with others.

So, what does your social media profile say about you? How do you feel about your online profile? What do you want it to say about you?

VARIABLES AFFECTING PAVLOVIAN CONDITIONING: Pavlovian conditioning is not simply a matter of pairing two stimuli. There are many other variables at work. These include the way the CS (NS) and US are paired, the number of those pairings, the amount of experience with the CS(NS) before conditioning, and more.
