Self-image is the picture you have of yourself, the sort of person you believe you are. Included in your self-image are the categories in which you place yourself, the roles you play and other similar descriptors you use to identify yourself.
自我形象是一種自我定位，在心目中自己是什么樣的人。你把自己放在哪一類型的人當中，扮演什么樣的角色，用什么描述識別自己。
If you tell an acquaintance you are a grandfather who recently lost his wife and who does volunteer work on weekends, several elements of your self-image are bought to light — the roles of grandparent, widower and conscientious citizen.
如果你告訴一個相識的人你是一個不久前失去妻子的祖父，并且每個周末都去做義工，那么你的幾個自我形象就會展現(xiàn)出來——祖父、鰥夫和盡職的公民。
But self-image is more than how you picture yourself; it also involves how others see you. Three types of feedback from others are indicative of how they see us: conformation, rejection, and disconfirmation.
但是自我形象不只是自我定位，它還包括別人如何看待你。從別人身上得到的三種反饋表明了對方是如何看待我們的：一致性、排斥性和不一致性。
Conformation occurs when others treat you in a manner consistent with who you believe you are. You believe you have leadership abilities and your boss put you in charge of a new work team.
一致性發(fā)生在別人對待你的方式和你一貫的自我認定相符。你認為自己有領(lǐng)導(dǎo)才能，而你的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)又讓你負責(zé)新的工作隊伍。
On the other hand, rejection occurs when others treat you in a manner that is inconsistent with yourself definition.
另一方面，排斥性發(fā)生在別人對待你的方式和你對自己的定位發(fā)生矛盾的時候。
Pierre Salinger was appointed senator from California but subsequently lost his first election.
皮耶爾·塞林杰被任命為來自加利福尼亞的參議員，但是后來他在首次選舉中失敗。
He thought he was a good public official, but the voters obviously thought otherwise— Their vote was inconsistent with his self-concept.
他認為自己是一個優(yōu)秀的政府官員，但是他的投票者顯然不這么想。他們的投票與他的自我評估發(fā)生了矛盾。
The third type of feedback is disconfirmation, which occurs when others fail to respond to your notion of self by responding neutrally.
第三種反饋是不一致性。它發(fā)生在其他人沒能回應(yīng)你的想法而表示中立的時候。
A student writes what he thinks is an excellent composition, but the teacher writes no encouraging remarks.
一個學(xué)生寫了一份他認為極其好的作文，但是老師給的分數(shù)卻很平常。
Rather than relying on how others classify you, consider how you identify yourself. The way in which you identify yourself is the best reflection of yourself-image.
與其依靠別人對你的評價，不如自我審視。在自我認知的過程中能夠更好的認識自己。
