The correct answer is Option 2: Both A and R are true, but R is not the correct explanation of A
-
Assertion (A): Self-concept is the way we perceive ourselves and the ideas we hold about our competencies and attributes. This is True. Self-concept is the term used in psychology to describe the cognitive and affective understanding and appraisal of one's own identity. It encompasses our self-schemas, beliefs about ourselves, and our perception of our abilities and characteristics.
Reason (R): The children, whose parents make decisions for their children when they do not need assistance, often suffer from low self-esteem. This is correct because children whose parents are overcontrolling or make unnecessary decisions for them often develop low self-esteem due to lack of autonomy and confidence.
- However, R does not explain A. R talks about effects of parental behaviour on children's self-esteem, while A defines what self-concept is. They are not logically connected as cause and explanation.
