Question

The ___________, according to cooley, refers to the process by which a person formulates a sense of self in response to the person’s perceptions of the reactions of others toward him or her.

Answer 1

It is the "Looking-Glass Self", a term coined by Charles Cooley that explains the importance of our perceptions of how other people perceive us. According to his theory, we cannot form a personal identity without interacting with others. The Looking Glass Self is simply the interactive process of seeing ourselves based on how other view us.
