Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In assessing self-concept and self-esteem, first focus on each component of self-concept (identity, body image, and role performance). Self-concept is a psychological/emotional issue, not a physical issue for vital signs. Anxiety may be a stressors or a sign of low self-concept. Self-concept is not a moral issue.
