Self-reflection is the ability to witness and evaluate one's own cognitive, emotional, and behavioural processes. In psychology , other terms used for this self-observation include "reflective awareness" and "reflective consciousness", which originate from the work of William James .
The humanities have also been justified as fostering self-reflection, civic responsibility, and cultural continuity. Though debates persist about the practical utility of the humanities, proponents argue that their unique focus on meaning, creativity, and critical inquiry contributes both to individual enrichment and the public sphere.

Reflection of light is either specular (mirror-like) or diffuse (retaining the energy, but losing the image) depending on the nature of the interface.In specular reflection the phase of the reflected waves depends on the choice of the origin of coordinates, but the relative phase between s and p (TE and TM) polarizations is fixed by the properties of the media and of the interface between them.
The self-similar solution of the second kind also appears in different contexts such as in boundary-layer problems subjected to small perturbations, [8] as was identified by Keith Stewartson, [9] Paul A. Libby and Herbert Fox. [10] Moffatt eddies are also a self-similar solution of the second kind.
The ancient symbol Ouroboros, a dragon that continually consumes itself, denotes self-reference. [1]Self-reference is a concept that involves referring to oneself or one's own attributes, characteristics, or actions.
In astrophysics and particle physics, self-interacting dark matter (SIDM) is an alternative class of dark matter particles which have strong interactions, in contrast to the standard cold dark matter model (CDM). SIDM was postulated in 2000 [1] as a solution to the core-cusp [2] [3] [4] problem.
The Lorentz reciprocity theorem is simply a reflection of the fact that the linear operator ^ relating and at a fixed frequency (in linear media): = ^ where ^ [()] is usually a symmetric operator under the "inner product" (,) = for vector fields and . [8] (Technically, this unconjugated form is not a true inner product because it is not ...
