Which term, coined by Charles Cooley, refers specifically to how the self develops through internalizing the reactions of others?

Consciousness of self refers to an awareness of one's own existence and individuality, but it does not specifically address the role of social interactions in shaping self-identity. While it is an important aspect of self-awareness, it lacks the emphasis on the perceptions of others that defines the looking-glass self.

Role-taking self involves the ability to understand and anticipate the perspectives of others, contributing to social interactions and empathy. However, it does not specifically focus on how individuals internalize reactions from others to form their self-concept, which is the core idea behind the looking-glass self.

Sense of self generally refers to the overall understanding and perception of oneself. While it encompasses various aspects of identity, it does not specifically pinpoint the process of internalizing social reactions as described by the looking-glass self. This makes it a broader and less precise term in the context of Cooley's theory.
