The "looking-glass self" essentially explains ?

Correct answer: E. our imagination of how others see us

  • A. our reflections on our own personal shortcomings
  • B. our sense of knowledge from all of the agents of socialization
  • C. our sense of individuality
  • D. our self-concept both positive and negative

Explanation

Cooley’s looking-glass self develops as we imagine how others see us and form feelings and self-judgments from that imagined response. It is therefore broader than simply reflecting on personal shortcomings.
