BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks what defines and maintains our self-concept, based on the provided input.
Since the problem statement includes the answer for this short-answer item as 'social interactions', we can anchor the explanation to that concept.
First, consider the idea of social interactions shaping self-concept: through interactions with others, we receive feedback about how we are perceived, which we internalize to form our self-view. This aligns with Cooley's looking-glass self idea, where our sense of self emerges from imagining how we appear to others and how they judge us.
Next, think about how social feedback influences self-concept over time: praise, criticism, roles we occupy, and the norms we encounter all contribute to our beliefs about our abilities, identities, and worth. This process is ongoing and dynamic, meaning self-concept is not fixed but maintained through continual social input and interpretation.
In contrast, if we consider alternative ideas (even though they are not presented as options here), some theories might emphasize internal traits, personal experiences, or biological factors as primary drivers of self-concept. However, within the context of this question, the expected emphasis is on the social feedback loop—how interactions with others continually shape and sustain our understanding of ourselves.
Therefore, recognizing 'social interactions' as the defining and sustaining force of self-concept fits with well-established social-psychological concepts and provides a coherent explanation for how our self-view is formed and kept in balance through daily social contact.
