THE SELF, IDENTITY, AND RELIGIOUS

SOCIOEMOTIONAL
DEVELOPMENT IN
ADOLESCENCE
PREVIEW
Significant changes characterize socio
emotional development in adolescence.
These changes include increased
efforts to understand one’s self and
searching for an identity. Changes also
occur in the social contexts of
adolescents’ lives, with transformations
occurring in relationships
with families and peers in cultural
contexts. Adolescents also may
develop socio emotional
problems, such as delinquency and
depression
THE SELF, IDENTITY, AND RELIGIOUS/
SPIRITUAL DEVELOPMENT
self-esteem is the overall way we evaluate
ourselves.
Investigators sometimes use the terms self-esteem
and self-concept interchangeably or do not
precisely define them, but there is a meaningful
difference between them.
Self-esteem refers to global evaluations of the
self; it is also called self-worth or self-image .
For example, a child may perceive that she is
not merely a person but a good person.
According to Sundeen and Stuard:
Self-concept refers to domain-specific
evaluations of the self. Children can make selfevaluations in many domains of their lives—
academic, athletic, appearance, and so on. In
sum, self-esteem refers to global selfevaluations, self-concept to domain specific
evaluations.

thinking people display about
the thoughts, feelings, motives,
and behaviors of themselves
and other people.
Tingkat harga diri dipengaruhi oleh gambaran diri
dan cita-cita diri (PaulJ. Centi : 1995). Semakin
tinggi kesenjangan antara gambaran diri dan citacita diri, maka semakin rendah harga diri.
Harga diri
adalah proses evaluasi yang ditujukan individu pada
diri sendiri, yang nantinya berkaitan dengan proses
penerimaan individu terhadap dirinya.
Secara singkat harga diri diartikan sebagai
penilaian terhadap diri tentang keberhargaan diri
yang diekspresikan melalui sikap-sikap yang
dianut individu
ASPEK-ASPEK HARGA DIRI
Reasoner (1982), Aspek-aspek harga diri sebagai berikut :
1) Sense of Security, yaitu sejauh mana seseorang
merasa aman dalam bertingkahlaku karena
mengetahui apa yang diharapkan oleh orang lain dan
tidak takut disalahkan. Seseorang merasa yakin atas
apa yang dilakukannya sehingga merasa tidak cemas
terhadap apa yang akan terjadi pada dirinya.
2) Sense of Identity, yaitu kesadaran seseorang tentang
sejauh mana potensi, kemampuan dan keberartian
tentang dirinya sendiri.
3) Sense of Belongeng, yaitu perasaan yang muncul
karena seseorang merasa sebagai bagian dari
kelompoknya, merasa dirinya penting dan
dibutuhkan oleh orang lain, dan merasa dirinya
dierima oleh kelompoknya
4) Sense of Purpose, yaitu keyakinan seseorang bahwa
dirinya akan berhasil mencapai tujuan yang
diinginkannya, merasa memiliki motivasi.
5) Sense of Personal Competence, yaitu kesadaran individu

IDENTITY
Who am I? What am I all about? What
am I going to do with my life? What is
different about me? How can I make it
on my own?
These questions reflect the search for
an identity.
What Is Identity? Identity is a self-portrait
composed of many pieces, including
these:
• The career and work path the person wants to
follow (vocational/career identity)
• Whether the person is conservative, liberal, or
middle-of-the-road (political identity)
• The person’s spiritual beliefs (religious identity)
• Whether the person is single, married, divorced,
and so on (relationship identity)
• The extent to which the person is motivated to
achieve and is intellectual (achievement,
intellectual identity)
• Whether the person is heterosexual,
homosexual, or bisexual (sexual identity)
• Which part of the world or country a person
is from and how intensely the person
identifies with his or her cultural heritage
(cultural/ethnic identity)
• The kind of things a person likes to do,
which can include sports, music, hobbies,
and so on (interests)
• The individual’s personality characteristics,
such as being introverted or extroverted,
anxious or calm, friendly or hostile, and
so on (personality)
• The individual’s body image (physical
identity)
RELIGIOUS/SPIRITUAL
DEVELOPMENT
Human growth and development is a lifelong process. Therefore, ongoing faith
development and spiritual formation of
adults is vital to the spiritual life
Just as we spend time and energy on
growing intellectually and professionally, it
is also important to make our religious
development an important aspect of our
lives.
