Abstract

© 2017 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.According to Wilson and Ross (2003), the self-concept, or the beliefs, attributions, and semantic perceptions that represent who individuals think they are as a person (Shavelson & Bolus, 1982), arises via a bidirectional relationship between autobiographical memory and semantic, or global, perceptions of the self. The reconstruction of past experiences influences current perceptions of the self, and the self, in turn, influences how autobiographical memories are reconstructed and retrieved. Thus, the self is largely a manifestation of the myriad ways in which one perceives themself in the moment in relation to the basic experiences and perceptions that constitute one’s existence.
