Actually, the correct answer is a. Viewing the self from one's own standpoint and from the standpoint of significant others. Self-discrepancy theory states that individuals have three different types of self-representations: the actual self (how they currently perceive themselves), the ideal self (how they ideally want to be), and the ought self (how they believe they should be according to the expectations of significant others, such as parents or societal norms). These self-representations arise from a comparison between how individuals view themselves and how they believe they should be, according to their own perspective and the perspectives of important people in their lives. By considering multiple viewpoints, self-representations are constructed.
