Answer:
The connection the author drew between self-esteem and ideal self is that if there is a contradiction or mismatch between one's self-image (how the person sees himself) and one's ideal self (what the person will like to be), it will truly affect one's self-esteem (how the person will value himself)
Explanation:
Self-concept simply refers to the way one thinks about, perceives, evaluates and sees himself.
In self-concept, an individual needs to know what he sees in himself (self-image), understand the extent he values himself (self-esteem) and have a picture of what he likes to be (ideal self)
"Self-concept" on Common Lit was written by Saul McLeod.
