Compare McCrae and Costa's thoughts about self-concept to that of Bandura and Rogers. How are they the same? How are they different?

What will be an ideal response?

McCrae and Costa view self-concept as a characteristic adaptation. Note that basic tendencies are stable but that characteristic adaptations fluctuate. Self-concept therefore can change depending upon circumstances, just as circumstances can influence the self-concept. Rogers thought that self-concept was one part of the organismic self. For Rogers, the definition of self-concept is our perception of our self, just as McCrae and Costa's definition is. For both Rogers, and McCrae and Costa, the self-concept contain both accurate and inaccurate images of ourselves. Bandura saw the self system as a set of cognitive structures that encourage consistent behavior, that allow us to engage in self regulation, and so his ideas about the self are quite different than that of McCrae and Costa's. But both Bandura, as well as McCrae and Costa, (and Rogers) suggested that self concepts are relatively accurate, with some possibility for distortion.
