Self and
Identity
According to William James, a
psychologist, “the self is what happens
when I reflect upon ME".
Taylor (1989) described the self as a
Reflective Project. How we see
ourselves is geared toward improving
ourselves depending on a lot of
factors.
Dan McAdam, a psychologist, reiterated that even there are many ways on
how we reflect to improve ourselves, it brings us back to these three (3)
categories:

Judgment and Decision Making
Bazerman and Moore (2013) suggested
the Six Steps on How to Make a Rational
Decision:
1. Define the Problem (select your
most desired course);
2. Identify the criteria necessary to
judge the multiple options (list
things to be considered like location,
facilities, prestige, etc.);
3. Weight the criteria (rank the criteria
based on its importance to you);
4. Generate alternatives (the schools
that accepted you);
5. Rate each alternative on each
criterion (rate each school on the
criteria you have identified); and
6. Compute the optimal decision
