Answer to Question 1

ANS: C
Self-esteem is defined as the emotional value a person places on his or her self-concept. It identifies the degree to which people approve of themselves.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: C
Although cognitive awareness of the self-concept is never fully complete, the Johari Window provides a disclosure/feedback model to help people learn more about their self-concept (Luft & Ingham). The model consists of four areas:
 Open self (arena): what is known to self and others
 Blind self: what is known by others, but not by self
 Hidden self (faade): what is known by self, but not by others
 Unknown self: what is unknown to self and also unknown to others
