Abstract
Self-schema is known as the dispositions or opinions about him or herself that are usually extracted by self-talk. The schemas are generally made in the childhood. When the child starts looking at the world, at first his parents influence his opinions. The talks and the ideas are imbibed into the person as a child form like schema. For example, the characteristics of good child and a bad child are learnt from parents and near family only. While analyzing the labels of self-aspect, it was found that the individuals who had compartmentalized organization tend to define the self-aspects in narrow and negative terms (Showers in J Pers Soc Psychol 62:1036, 1992, [1]). This paper is based on research done taking few parameters about various self-schemas taking a random sample of 528 using an instrument questionnaire for data collection. As self-scheme is highly subjective, a vast subject few parameters are considered under self-schema. These parameters are tested against the demographical features such as age and education of the respondents. Multivariate analysis is done to analyze if there is any interaction between the demographical features of a person with his self-schema.
