Question

Given below are two statements, one is labelled as Assertion (A) and other one labelled as Reason (R).
Assertion (A): Self-concept is an image of a person. It is the way one perceives oneself; one's abilities and limitations.
Reason (R): Self-concept is the understanding of the self, in comparison to the past self, without social comparison.
In light of the above statements, choose the correct answer from the options given below:

• A. Both (A) and (R) are correct
• B. (R) is correct and (A) is wrong
• C. (A) is correct and (R) is wrong
• D. Both (A) and (R) are wrong

Hint:

Self-concept and self-esteem are inherently social constructs. They are formed through continuous social comparisons with others, making any statement suggesting they are built "without social comparison" incorrect.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C
