Abstract
In writing this paper I attempt to revisit the concept of self in order to shedlight on the nature of one of the most important ideas concerning human characteristicsfound to be involved in social behavior and performance. The contents ofthis paper start with the definition of self to be followed by its first appearance, itsformation, the development of its aspects and functions, and the way in which contemporarysociologists have used the term “self” in various hyphenated forms, e.g.self-conception, self-perception, self-evaluation, self-esteem, etc. Sales describes theself-concept theory to account for the multi dimensionality of self-concept togetherwith an empirical study on a facet of self-concept. Finally I present one interestingempirical study of deviant behavior using self-identify for explaining juvenile delinquencyin the U.S.
