The extended self refers to external objects and possessions that we consider a part of ourselves. This means that they are included in our self-concept and can shape our identity and self-perception. This can include things such as cars, homes, clothing, and other consumer products that we use to express ourselves and project our identity to others. The extended self does not refer to our actual/ideal selves, virtual selves, body image, or self-esteem.
