Ideal Self
Ideal self is one's perception of how he should behave in accordance with a particular standard. (Stuart and Laraia, 2005)
Standards may relate to the type of person who wants or the number of aspirations, goals or values to be achieved. Ideal self would embody the ideals and personal expectations based on social norms, in which someone is trying to make it happen. The establishment of an ideal self begins in childhood and is strongly influenced by the people around them that provide benefits and certain expectations. In adolescence, ideal self began to take shape through the process of identification of parents, teachers and friends.
In old age, it takes some adjustments, depending on the physical strength and the changing roles and responsibilities.
Many factors affect a person's ideal self, according to Stuart and Laraia (2005), which affects a person's ideal self are:
a. A person tends to establish itself ideal fit within its means. A person would not be possible to stipulate a ideal or goal if mempu if only he did not seek themselves to achieve these goals or are beyond the limits.
b. Ideal self is also influenced by cultural factors, which one would compare themselves with their peers standards.
c. Ambition and desire for superior and successful, realistic needs, the desire to avoid failure and freshly anxiety and low self-esteem.
Individuals are able to function and to demonstrate compatibility between perceived self and ideal self, so it will resemble what they want. Ideal self should be set not too high, but still higher than the ability to remain a driving force and can still be achieved (Keliat, 1992).
