Jon views himself as a lazy person who is not very intelligent. His self-understanding comes from his overly critical father who continually belittled him when he was growing upJon's perception of himself is what a sociologist might refer to as __________.
a. the looking-glass self
b. backstage behavior
c. role consistency
d. the social construction of reality

Respuesta :

Answer: a) the looking-glass self

Explanation:

Looking glass self is the concept that defined about individual's perception and thinking that how he/she looks or appears in a society in front of other people. It does not let a person see how he.she actually is present in society.

According to the question,Jon's perception about himself is extracted from looking-glass self because he thinks about his personality in respect to the image created by him father i.e.-lazy and not highly intelligent.

Other options are incorrect because backstage behavior, role consistency and reality's social construction are not the factors that describe about the reflection that a person has for himself in respect to other in a society,.thus, the correct option is option(a).
