UNPACKING THE SELF

ASPECTS OF THE SELF
• PHYSICAL SELF
• SEXUAL SELF
• MATERIAL SELF
• SPIRITUAL SELF
• POLITICAL SELF
• DIGITAL SELF
PHYSICAL SELF
• The physical self refers to the body. Both
physical extremities and internal organs work
together for the body to perform many of its
functions such as breathing, walking, eating
and sleeping among others. The body’s ability
to perform its functions gradually changes
through an individual’s aging. In general, the
body performs least during infancy and old
age.
Physical Self continuation
• Physical efficiency generally peaks in early
adulthood between the ages of twenty and
thirty and then slowly declines into the middle
age. Physical development and growth during
childhood continue at a slow rate compared to
the rapid rate of growth in babyhood.
• Adolescence begins with the onset of puberty.
This stage is characterized by rapid physical

changes that include the maturation of the
reproductive system. Each individual goes
through a succession of developmental stages
throughout his or her life span.
• Life Span- refers to the development from
conception to death.
Life Span of Elizabeth Hurlock
1. Prenatal- fertilization to birth
2. Infancy- birth to 2 weeks of life
3. Babyhood- 2 weeks of life to 2nd year
4. Early childhood- 2 to 6 years old
5. Late childhood- 6 to 10 or 12 years old
6. Puberty- 10 or 12 years old
7. Adolescence- 14 to 18 years old
8. Early Adulthood- 18-4o years old
9. Middle Adulthood- 40-60 years old
10. Late Adulthood or senescence- 60 to death
Two Factors affecting Physical Growth and
Development
• Physical growth and development is the
product of heredity and environment.
Heredity is the biological process of the
inheritance of traits from parents to offspring.
Environment refers to the factors an individual
is exposed to throughout life which includes
learning and experiences. Sex and other
physical traits are determined by the
combination of chromosomes and genes

during fertilization when the egg and sperm cells
unite. Chromosomes are threadlike tissues
that carries the genes and are usually found in
pairs. There are 23 pairs of chromosomes
which are classified as autosomes or trait
chromosomes (22 pairs) and gonosomes or
sex chromosomes. The sex of the offspring
depends on the pairing of the sex
chromosomes (23rd) from the father or mother
THEORIES OF PHYSICAL SELF
 THEORY OF PHYSIOGNOMY
 FIVE ELEMENT THEORY
 THEORY BASED THE PROMINENCE OF BODY
FLUIDS
 BODY-TYPE THEORY
THEORY OF PHYSIOGNOMY
• The Theory of Physiognomy (pronounced with
silent “G”) suggest that a person’s physical
characteristics such as facial features and
expressions and body structures could be
related to a person’s character or personality.
• Example:
Big rounded lips= goodness;
Straight eyebrows= very direct
square-shaped face= aggressive, dominating
Wide forehead= intelligent
FIVE ELEMENT THEORY
• It makes use of the elements
of water, wood, fire, earth
and metal as archetypes for
everything occurring in the
natural world. Each element
is correlated to seasons,
colors, shapes, sounds as
well as facial features, body
types, body’s major organs
and behavioral tendencies.
THEORY BASED ON THE PROMINENCE OF
BODY FLUIDS
• The theory suggests that an excess of or
deficiency in any of the four body fluids (or
humors)in a person influences their
personality, temperament, and well-being.
1. Sanguine- prominence of red bile
2. Melancholic- prominence of black bile
3. Choleric- prominence of yellow bile
4. Phlegmatic- excess phlegm
Body-Fluid
Body Fluid Prominence Personality
Sanguine Red bile Impulsive, cheerful, happy
and optimistic
Melancholic Black bile Tend to be sad and
optimistic
Choleric Yellow bile Easily angry, jumpy and
temperamental
Phlegmatic Phlegm Sluggish, dull and slow
BODY FLUIDS
Body-Type Theory
• This theory was developed by William Sheldon based
on physical characteristics. The three body types are:
Body-type Physical Personality
Characteristics
Endomorphic soft and plump Easy going and
sociable
Mesomorphic Strong muscular energetic,
body adventurous,
assertive and
courageous
Ectomorphic Tall and thin Restrained, quiet,
introverted and
artistic
Body-type Theory
Body image
• Body image refers to how individuals
perceive, think, and feel about their body and
physical appearance. Appearance refers to
everything about a person that others can
observe such as height, weight, skin color,
clothes and hairstyle. Body image is related to
self-esteem which is a person’s overall
evaluation of his or her own worth.
Activity:
• For 20 points, review the Theory based on the
Prominence of Body Fluids. As you go along the process
of introspection, choose and explain which body fluid
suits you the most especially in this time of pandemic.
Write your name, course and year on MS word, TNR, 12.
• Note: Take your time, no deadline yet since we have to
abide by the EO. However, if you want to do it now, you
may send it on a personal message via Edmodo or
Messenger, depends on your convenience. Please do
