Other groups one can contribute to their self-concept can include their: race, religion, etc. Each thing that you include in your self-concept influences how you view yourself and how others view you. Since the rest of your family members undoubtedly include you in their self-concepts, everyone involved considers their family a part of who they are. Family and identity influence each other directly in the way listed above.
