Abstract: The embodiment of self-concept have profound theoretical foundation and empirical evidence, the theory of self which advanced by William James and Carl Ransom Rogers, the theory of physical self which advanced by Gordon Willard Allport, they all imply the embodiment of self-concept. From such perspective, self-concept includes people’s brain, whole body and even the way that body moves. Structures of body, movement’s schema and sensor motor experiences all determine the formation and change of self-concept. A series of studies about self-concept have supplied strong evidence for embodiment of self-concept. As a new perspective, the view of embodied self-concept overcomes the shortcoming of disembodied self-concept, stress the important role of people’s body structures and body movements, and provide a new perspective on self-concept

Key words: self-concept, embodiment, embodied self-concept, body structures, movement’s schema
