SELF CONCEPT
Self concept suggests that perceived improvement should increase both negative and positive mental health because it violates the self-consistency standard but satisfies the self-enhancement standard. Self concept is very important, because it can have effects on a persons social behaviors, achievements, leadership ability, anxiety, and physical performance. There is many things that can effect a persons self-concept such as, gender, age, geography, and level of education. Early scientists, and researchers assumed self-concept was a undimensional theory or an idea made up of many factors, but somehow still totally dominated by one single common factor, and that the precise factors could not be simply recognized. Though, newer studies have seen that although there may be one common, overall self-worth factor, it is only part of the many dimensions that make up a person’s self-concept.
One Journal that shows the change of the self-concept theory over the years is “Body attitude, gender, and self-concept: A 30-year perspective” that was written in the Journal of Psychology, volume 134, issue 4. In this article researchers compared data from early studies made in the 60’s and 70’s to results they found by the studies they did. The purpose of there tests were to see how men and women’s self concept has changed over the years, regarding the way they view there body. Then comparing those results to the results of the earlier tests. To do this study, they took unpaid volunteers from the St. Louis area between the ages of 18 – 23. 70 males and 70 females were chosen to participate in the study, but were not told what the study was about. One factor in this study was that all the participants were Caucasian, because differences in race have been found to affect people’s attitudes toward their bodies, particularly with respect to skin color. The tests were scored using a BAS scales, or “Body Attitude Scale.” All participants were giving “The Self-Description Questionnaire III” because it was designed for young adults. The researchers broke them up into 2 group, one in a classroom setting, and one in a meeting room setting. Both group were issued the same survey and were asked not to speak, or ask help from anyone else in the room.
When the results came in researchers found that, women in 1966 had a more positive evaluative BAS score than the women in 1996. One interesting result was that women in 1966 had a more positive score in body attitude than the combined male group, but women in 1996 were more negative in body attitude then the combined male groups. Overall the females participants had an overall greater change in the score over the 30-year period. In the end it showed that society did have an effect on how people think of their bodies, over the years.
Another interesting study is the one written by Gereth Schott, and Wynoford Bellin published in “Adolescence” spring 2001. This journal talked greatly about how self-concept can effect young adolescence’s in school. Its also stated that self-concept plays a significant role in a persons scholastic achievement. They also said that a persons self-concept can be effected by school environment and peer frame-of-reference. The study used two different versions of a RSCS scale, to see how six factors effect a child’s self-concept. The six factors were physical appearance, social scholastic, scholastic performance, there parents, possible selves , and there peers. 978 school children in England were giving the question sheet. 48% were males, 48%, were females, and 4% did not give this information. The conclusion of the result was not to apparent, it seems that each child scored higher in some areas, and lower in other. But since this study can out, more have been done like it. Now researchers are seeing that every aspect of a child’s life can effect his or her self-concept, and now many elementary schools are taking special care to make sure they can limit the things that can have a negative effect on a child’s self-concept. Many studies about self-concept have been done to children in school, because many researchers say that once a child enters school, the school has a great impact on the child’s self concept.

---------------------------------------
Nov 7th 2002
today was one of the greatest days ever. I dont feel like typing it out. so i stole this from eggs journal.
"I come home from school, and thought about playing football with the people from my bus. But then Ian came by, and we went to Popeye's, where we met up with Jon Tarella and Matt C. After that, we went to John Cancio's house. We got there alot faster than Matt and Jon, so we were looking out the window, and a Welsh Farm's truck pulls up. Two girls get out, and they happen to be John's girlfriend Ryan, and her friend Amanda. Wait, What? Yes, two seventeen-year-old girls driving a milk truck. The plans for the evening were laser tag and costume shopping. So Matt, Ian, and I go with Amanda to get gas for her milk truck, and money from each of our respective houses. My sister just looked strangely as I got out of a milk truck and ran into the house. Haha. Eventually, we end up back at John's. Then we go to Laser Mania. We got pulled over on the way there, and despite speeding, having too many kids in the car, and not wearing corrective lenses, no tickets were issued to Ian. Ian-1, the man-0. So fun and tiring and sweaty. I did good the first game. After that, back to John's. We break out the board games. CRANIUM is the best game ever. Despite a slow start, Ian and I whooped everyone. So much fun. Pics are here. View them. They are worth it."

12:20 am - time to drop some halo-ness
|
part 1 "e3"
so e3 rolls around and bungie gives us something sooo good, yet again, not only did they make a final release date for halo 2, they have new videos of the multiplayer aspects, which are honestly so fucking amazing looking. some things i didnt like where that the rockets can now track you. kinda gay, takes all the skill out of leading a rocket. i also didnt like that when you use 2 weapons the recoil makes you aim up, not cool. i dont want this turning into a spray and pray noob fest. other then that everything else made my pants sticky like 400 times. november 9th will be the death of me.
part 2 "6"
i raised my sensitivity to 6 just cause i was bored, and for some reason i dont think anything has helped me so much. the first game a changed it i thought i would do terrible and have to get used to it. BUT the first game i used it in was a game of CO TS. and i got 43 kills. yes 43 kills and 10 deaths. so im like "hey beggingers luck, or something" but every game after that it was the same thing, ive never gotten so many 3 shots on xbc before. one thing i did notice was my sniping went down a very little bit, but i dont care ill take that trade for being a better pistoler. but 6 now rocks my world.
part 3 "scumbags"
if you use glasswalls, or anti-invis mods on xbc your a scumbag, a even bigger one if you lose. and if your cheating try making it not so noticeable. like stop throwing gernades at me when i spawn, and dont shoot at me when im invis across the fucking level, its pretty easy to tell that your cheating. why do people even use these? is it that fun knowing you beat some people ON YOUR HOST while FUCKING CHEATING! i dont get it, i love even more when i beat people who are glasswalling, because it shows how terrible they are, that they know where i am the whole time, and somehow still cant kill me.
part 4 "game time"
i need to start entering more tourneys, they are fun. and i like winning stuff.
current mood: pwning
