The moral part of the self is referred to as one's character. Character formation entails a self-evaluation process in which individuals compare their descriptions of themselves as they are (Real Self) with their descriptions of themselves as they would want to become 'Ideal Self' and as they dread becoming (Fearful Self) (Dreaded Self). In a cross-sectional research of children and adolescents aged 6 to 16, these self-descriptions were discovered to share a common structure and to be age related. Approximately half of these descriptions contain some moral component. Despite the fact that the relationship between self-esteem and developmental level was not statistically significant, persons at higher levels were more likely to be self-critical about their moral conduct. Being self-critical raised the chances of having somewhat lower self-esteem.

After joining this talk about the character building, I can conclude that the development of a child's conscience, moral beliefs, religious ideals, and social attitudes is referred to as character development. Because many psychologists believe that this entire topic does not lend itself to scientific inquiry, research on these associated areas has been fairly fragmented and intermittent. The character building is important to develop a strong character which is someone who understands and adheres to their own ideals. There are several tips for building character as students which stated as below:
- Pillars of character
- Encourage good role models
- Volunteerism
- Build a caring community
- Insist on respect
- Character in action
- Set rules
