Tasks

The self-concept is developed primarily through our communication with others. Because humans are social, we develop an understanding of ourselves as a result of our relationship with others. A significant other is a person whose feedback is especially important to us. The significant others opinions about us are crucial in our role in developing our understanding of ourselves and of how others view us. We develop our opinions about ourselves by observing the way that others respond to and communicate with us.
