Influence of Social Interaction on Self-Concept Development of University Students: A Symbolic Interactionist Perspective

Author(s) Ms. Anshika Shukla, Dr. Vartika Srivastava
Country India
Abstract University students' self-concept development has a significant role in both their academic and personal growth, impacting their social identity, motivation, and self-assurance. Even though self-concept has been studied from psychological and developmental perspectives in a number of studies, more research is still needed to fully understand how social interaction shapes identity. This study employs a symbolic interactionist methodology to examine the ways in which peer relationships, everyday social interactions, and cultural norms impact college students' perceptions of themselves.
Symbolic interactionism holds that a person's self-perception is influenced by their social interactions, feedback, and internalization of cultural symbols. The social interactions students have in the university environment continuously support, question, or modify their self-identity, which has an impact on their academic performance, career aspirations, and emotional well-being. Although identity formation in higher education has garnered a lot of attention, few studies have focused on looking at how role-taking experiences and symbolic meanings contribute to the development of one's self-concept in diverse university contexts.
Students, educators, and policymakers will all gain from this study's goal of filling this information gap by exposing the dynamic process of self-concept development. By use of both qualitative and theoretical research, this study highlights the significance of social interactions in shaping an individual's sense of self and the necessity of establishing supportive university environments that foster proper identity formation.
Keywords Social Interaction, Self-Concept Development, University Students, Symbolic Interactionism.
