Some scholars have noted that an impressive number of self-related terms have
been gradually introduced in the scientific literature. Several of these terms
are either ill-defined or synonymous, creating confusion, and redundancy. In an
effort to minimize this problem, I present a novel and systematic way of looking
at possible relations between several key self-terms. I also propose a tentative
classification scheme of self-terms as follows: (1) basic terms related to the
overall process of self-perception (e.g., self-awareness), (2) non self-terms
that are importantly associated to some other self-terms (e.g., consciousness and
Theory of Mind), (3) processes related to the executive self and involving
agency, volition, and self-control (e.g., self-regulation), and (4) self-views,
that is, the content and feelings about the self (e.g., self-esteem). Three
additional categories not discussed in this paper are self-biases, reactions to
the self, and interpersonal style. Arguably unambiguous definitions for some of
the most important and frequently used self-terms are suggested. These are
presented in tables meant for the reader to search for definitions as well as
related terms.
