Vocab. question

Hi All,

I'm trying to find the Russian word(s) for "acceptance." I'm looking in the context of "acceptance of one's self" or "self-acceptance."

So far I've come up with:
одобрение

However, I'm worried that this word actually means "approval."

Thanks! Спасибо!

Self-acceptance = самоприятие

Not that much of a word in russian.

It's a specialized term used by psychologists. The same as "self-acceptance". You can see examples here: http://tinyurl.com/2onvmv

I was looking more along the lines of general acceptance. From what I gather, the correct term is принятие, right?

Thanks!

Yes, that's the closest you'll get without resorting to words that puzzle people. So I'll sign under uncle_gora's suggestion.

No. Самовосприятие.

[malim-praedari.livejournal.com]

Nope. That would be "self-perception".
