asked Mar 21, 2016 in Psychology by Kassy
I don't want to be that guy who never comes to family get-togethers because he is too busy working. I want to be successful in my career, but not at the expense of my family. Of course, I want to find my own special partner, but if I don't, I know I'll always have you and the kids." Gilles is discussing his
A) future model.
B) internal map.
C) possible selves.
D) generalized goals.

Answer 1

C) possible selves

Step-by-step explanation:

Based on the scenario being described within the question it can be said that Gilles is discussing his possible selves. In the context of Psychology, this term refers to the various components regarding the cognitive sense of self, in other words the ideal self that an individual would like to become at some point in the future. This may also includes the self that the individual is afraid of becoming. Which in this case Gilles explains the different versions of who he would be ok being in the future.
