Self-Concept and Identity Exploration Diagram

This diagram visually represents the concepts of self-concept and identity exploration. On the left, the set of concentric circles in teal represents the layers of the ‘Microsystem’, ‘Mesosystem’, and ‘Macrosystem’, with smaller circles within the ‘Microsystem’ for ‘New’, ‘Peers’, ‘Psychology/Psychopathology’, and ‘Stunting Self’. On the right, in sandy yellow, are the circles for ‘Risk Possible Self’, ‘Ecosystem’, and ‘Macrosystem’, with smaller circles within the ‘Risk Possible Self’ for ‘Unrealistic’, ‘Cultural Ideals’, and ‘Cultural Expectation’. Above these, a bright yellow circle labeled ‘New Self’ sends arrows to the central nodes of both systems, with descriptive texts along the arrows.
