Answer 2

Answer:

self-concept, working self-concepts          

Explanation:

For an experiment, Sarah must write a description of herself every hour. After the first hour, Sarah is at school and she writes, "I am a student." An hour later, she is working in her job at a nursing home and writes, "I am young." Both "student" and "young" are part of Sarah's self-concept, but in these different situations she has different working self-concepts.
