What’s on the The Self poster
A 4-row table: Concept · Is · Predicts.
Frequently conflated, empirically distinct.
- Self-concept — Beliefs about who you are — Identity, choices
- Self-esteem — Global evaluation of self-worth — Less than assumed
- Self-efficacy — Belief you can do a specific task — Behaviour, persistence
- Locus of control — Where you attribute outcomes — Coping, achievement
Self-esteem programmes have produced disappointing results. Self-efficacy — built through mastery experience — has better evidence.

- Who is the The Self poster for?
- The Self belongs to the Psychology section rather than to a school year, because life science is not something one grade owns. Anyone learning personality & individual differences can pin it up — a beginner, a student mid-course, or someone revising years later.
- When should you use the The Self poster?
- Self-efficacy is task-specific and predicts behaviour. Global self-esteem predicts much less. A wall chart earns its place by being glanceable from where the work is happening, so The Self belongs on the wall where that life science work actually happens, within glancing distance, rather than filed away.
- What other posters go with The Self?
- Humanistic Approaches, The Big Five and Culture & Personality sit alongside The Self in the Psychology section. Printed together they make a wall rather than a single sheet, which is how a reference set actually gets used.Humanistic ApproachesThe Big FiveCulture & Personality
- Is the The Self poster free to download and print?
- Yes. The Self downloads as a free PDF with no account, no email and no watermark, like everything else in the Psychology section. Print as many copies as you like for a home, a classroom, a library or a tutoring group; reselling the file is the only thing the licence rules out.Read the licence
- What size does the The Self poster print at?
- The Self is a vector PDF laid out for US Letter, and prints on A4 with Fit to page — the same file, no separate download. Because every mark on it is drawn rather than photographed, it stays sharp enlarged to A3, A2 or A1 at a copy shop. Colour carries emphasis only, so a greyscale print of The Self loses nothing.Printing guide
