(1) Self-awareness is more active and conscious.

After entering the university, individuals not only often compare themselves with the people around them to know and evaluate themselves, but also often consciously refer to the qualities of scholars, celebrities and hero models in books or propaganda media, trying to internalize social expectations into their own personality qualities to meet the requirements of the times.

(2) Self-evaluation ability is improving, but it is still one-sided.

Self-evaluation is an individual's judgment on himself (including physical self, social self and psychological self). The self-evaluation ability of college students improves with the increase of grade. College students' self-evaluation shows two kinds of one-sidedness:

One is "overestimating yourself" and the other is "underestimating yourself". Most college students tend to overestimate themselves, mainly because they have strong self-confidence, rich self-imagination, strong sense of superiority and self-esteem, but their understanding level is not high. Some college students tend to underestimate themselves. The main reasons are: high-level self-expectation makes the ideal self far from the real self, which easily leads to dissatisfaction with the real self, while the ideal self is difficult to realize; Intense social competition makes college students feel anxious about themselves to varying degrees; Excessive self-esteem, poor social adaptability, imperfect world outlook and outlook on life, and lack of scientific attitudes and methods to recognize and treat themselves.

(3) the change of self-concept

The change of college students' self-concept has the following characteristics:

The richness of self-concept. College students can deeply analyze their inner emotional experience, need motivation, will characteristics, ideals and political thoughts, while middle school students tend to talk in general terms.

② Integrity of self-concept. College students pay more attention to their figure and appearance, and pay more attention to their intellectual ability, will quality, temperament and personality, social ability, activity performance and so on. Their self-concept has also become increasingly complete.

③ Generality of self-concept. College students tend to describe their self-inclination more abstractly and comprehensively.

④ Stability of self-concept. The self-image of college students is less affected by accidental situational factors and is unlikely to change greatly.
