Answer:

The answer is: the looking-glass self.

Explanation:

The looking-glass self is a concept developed by sociologist Charles Horton Cooley, from the perspective of symbolic interactionism. With this concept he aimed to explain the process in which people develop their sense of self based onhow they think they are percieved by others. According to the author this process occurs through social interactins that act as a "mirror". Using this mirror, people measure their values and behavior and ultimately their worht.

This concept suggests, such as symbolic interactionism, that the sense of self, or a self-concept, will eminently be built within social settings and through social interaction.
