Question

Gene has difficulty expressing what she wants. When she is asked whether she likes to join a social gathering, she would always say yes, even if she doesn't really want to. Gene has low: Select one:

a. Self esteem
b. Self concept
c. Self efficacy
d. Self awareness

Answer 1

Gene has low self-awareness, which is the awareness of one's own character and feelings, reflected in her difficulty expressing her true preferences.

Step-by-step explanation:

Gene appears to have low self-awareness. Self-awareness is the conscious knowledge of one's own character and feelings. This is seen in Gene's pattern of agreeing to attend social events despite her true preference not to. This suggests that she may not be fully conscious of her own wants and desires, or she may be aware of them but struggles to express them due to a lack of assertiveness.

Answer choices for similar questions include:

Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their own capabilities to complete tasks and goals.

Self-concept encompasses all thoughts and feelings about oneself. An internal locus of control indicates a belief in controlling one's own outcomes, while an external locus of control is the belief that outcomes are determined by external forces.

Informational social influence is more likely under conditions like ambiguity about the correct answer or when the group has expertise (d. both b and c).
