Identity Change Impacts Autobiographical Reconstruction of Identity-Relevant Events: Influences of the Self-System on RememberingDeffler, Samantha Ann January 2016 (has links)
<p>The focus on how one is behaving, feeling, and thinking, provides a powerful source of self-knowledge. How is this self-knowledge utilized in the dynamic reconstruction of autobiographical memories? How, in turn, might autobiographical memories support identity and the self-system? I address these questions through a critical review of the literature on autobiographical memory and the self-system, with a special focus on the self-concept, self-knowledge, and identity. I then outline the methods and results of a prospective longitudinal study examining the effects of an identity change on memory for events related to that identity. Participant-rated memory characteristics, computer-generated ratings of narrative content and structure, and neutral-observer ratings of coherence were examined for changes over time related to an identity-change, as well as for their ability to predict an identity-change. The conclusions from this study are threefold: (1) when the rated centrality of an event decreases, the reported instances of retrieval, as well as the phenomenology associated with retrieval and the number of words used to describe the memory, also decrease; (2) memory accuracy (here, estimating past behaviors) was not influenced by an identity change; and (3) remembering is not unidirectional – characteristics of identity-relevant memories and the life story predict and may help support persistence with an identity (here, an academic trajectory).</p> / Dissertation

Age/Cohort Differences in Aspects of the Self-SystemHanselka, Larry L. (Larry Lynn) 05 1900 (has links)
Age/cohort differences in several aspects of the self-system were investigated utilizing a sentence completion paradigm. Eighty-eight adults over age sixty and one hundred eight adults under age forty served as subjects. Subjects were asked to complete 30 self-referent sentence stems which were pre-structured to elicit information from the self-system. Responses were subjected to a content analysis utilizing a coding system which contained concepts used by subjects in their self-representations. Contents were coded for dimensions conceptually related to Physical Health, Autonomy, Self-Evaluation, Depression, Spirituality, and Altruism. Frequencies of codings were counted and subjected to statistical analysis for performing age group comparisons.

The False Self and True Self: A Christian PerspectiveVaden, Matthew Brett 12 January 2016 (has links)
The aim of this study, as explained in the first chapter, is to synthesize insights from Christianity and secular psychology in order to answer four questions: (1) Why do people reflect upon themselves? (2) Why do they understand themselves wrongly (i.e., constructing a false self)? (3) What does true self-understanding entail? (4) What interventions can foster true self-understanding? Chapter 2 presents a biblical response, with specific focus on passages from Proverbs, Matthew’s Gospel, and Paul’s letters. Chapter 3 collects answers from the writings of four Christian thinkers: Augustine of Hippo, Martin Luther, Søren Kierkegaard, and Thomas Merton. Chapter 4 examines answers from two modern psychologists, D.W. Winnicott and Susan Harter. The fifth chapter concludes with a synthesis of these answers, in order to propose a Christian perspective on the false self and true self.

Choosing goals that express the true self: A novel mechanism of the effect of self-control on goal attainmentStavrova, Olga, Pronk, Tila, Kokkoris, Michail 11 1900 (has links) (PDF)
Why is trait self-control associated with successful goal progress? Existing
research has attempted to answer this question by focusing on individual
differences in the process of goal pursuit. Herein, we propose and test a
novel mechanism suggesting that self-control facilitates goal attainment not
only by affecting the process of goal pursuit but also the type of goals peo-
ple select in the first place. Three studies showed that high (vs. low) self-
control individuals are more likely to report successful goal attainment and
this association was mediated by their tendency to select the goals that
reflect their true/authentic self. These results were obtained using cross-sectional and longitudinal designs and were robust against controlling for
previously established mechanisms of the effect of trait self-control on
goal attainment (habit strength, experiences of goal-conflicting desires).
Overall, there findings contribute to the literatures on self-regulation,
authenticity and goal management.

Doubly Double Negative: When Not Being Negative is More Important than Being PositiveChristian, Colton 06 September 2017 (has links)
When people are asked to compare themselves to others, they frequently engage in self-enhancement. Further, prior work has shown that when engaging in self-enhancement, people tend to downplay how often they engage in negative behaviors to a greater extent than they highlight how often they engage in positive behaviors. Interestingly, the opposite pattern is shown for traits: people highlight their positive traits to a greater extent than they downplay their negative traits. In the current work, we examined direct and indirect social comparisons for sets of health, eating, social, and moral dimensions. Across our first 7 studies, we demonstrated that people downplayed negative aspects of the self to a greater extent than they highlighted positive aspects of the self when the aspect was not self-relevant, while people showed little to no preference for downplaying negative aspects of the self relative to highlighting positive aspects of the self when the aspect was self-relevant. In Study 8, we demonstrated that this pattern is partially mediated by recall of feedback about the average other student, but not by recall of one’s self-standing. Together these findings integrate the different patterns of self-enhancement shown for behaviors and traits by demonstrating that differences in the self-relevance of the dimension may be the best cue as to whether people are most likely to self-enhance by downplaying negatives or emphasizing positives. / 10000-01-01

Self-warmth, self-coldness and self-esteem as predictors of quality of life and disability in chronic pain : a systematic review of the impact of fibromyalgia on quality of life using the Short Form-36 and an empirical study of the relationship between self-warmth, self-coldness and self-esteem on quality of life and disability in a chronic pain populationDoughty, Caitriona January 2016 (has links)
Background: Chronic pain conditions particularly fibromyalgia (FM) are an important issue considering the demand that they place on health services and the negative impact on an individual’s well-being. Research regarding what impact FM may have on the various domains of health related quality of life is sparse. In addition, research identifying predictors relating to a person’s self-concept on pain outcomes such as quality of life and disability is scarce in a chronic pain population. Self-esteem has been linked to psychological adjustment in various chronic diseases (Chong et al, 2009) and is suspected to be a vulnerability factor in FM (Johnson et al., 1997; Michielsen et al., 2006). Research on self-compassion found that it is a significant predictor of increased psychological adjustment in people with chronic medical conditions (Wren, Somers, & Wright, 2011). The majority of research on self-compassion has been conducted in non-clinical samples. Identifying the predictive values of self-esteem and the self-compassion subscales (self-warmth and self-coldness) in relation to pain outcomes are useful provided they can be enhanced and utilised to inform intervention. Aims: This research portfolio had two aims, to systematically review and carry out a meta-analysis with the literature investigating the impact of FM on health related quality of life using the Short Form-36 version one and to investigate whether self-warmth, self-coldness and self-esteem act as predictors of quality of life and disability for individuals with chronic pain. Method: A systematic review and meta-analysis of studies which assessed the impact of FM on health related quality of life was undertaken. Sensitivity and subgroup analyses were conducted to address the level of heterogeneity in the studies. The empirical study comprised of a cross-sectional design in which 60 individuals with chronic pain were recruited from three NHS sites based in Fife and Lothian and a pain self-management group in Fife to complete six validated psychometric questionnaires: Self Compassion Scale (Neff, 2003), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg, 1965), Brief Pain Inventory- Short Form (Cleeland, 1991), Pain Disability Questionnaire (Anagnostis, Gatchel, & Mayer, 2004), Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (Zigmond and Snaith, 1983) and Quality of Life Scale (Burckhardt, Woods, Schultz, & Ziebarth, 2003). Systematic Review Results: In total, 18 studies met the inclusion criteria of the systematic review and demonstrated that the health related quality of life of individuals with FM was lower compared to healthy controls on all eight subdomains of the SF-36 particularly Physical Role. It was found that Social Functioning was the subdomain least affected when comparing participants with FM to healthy controls. Empirical Project Results: Quality of life was lower than previous research with females reporting a higher level of quality of life than males. It was found that after controlling for demographic and clinical variables, self-warmth was the only significant predictor for quality of life but not on levels of disability. Neither self-coldness nor self-esteem were significant predictors on scores of quality of life or disability. Conclusion: The above studies expand literature on the nature of chronic pain and its outcomes such as health related quality of life. The meta-analysis evidenced that HRQoL was lower in individuals with FM than in healthy controls. The association between symptom severity and quality of life requires further investigation in FM. Psychological interventions targeting the development of self-warmth attributes and skills may have a beneficial effect in improving quality of life for people with chronic pain. While the systematic review highlighted that FM has a more significant impact physically rather than mentally in relation to quality of life, both studies highlighted the need for interventions to target the psychological adjustment of people with chronic pain conditions.
