Self System

Az én (én-rendszer) szilárdságának és változékonyságának kölcsönviszonyát gyakran és hevesen vitatják az én-pszichológia művelői. Olykor egymást kizáró ellentéteknek tekintik őket, holott kölcsönösen feltételezik egymást: a változás a stabilitást szolgálja, a stabilitás a változás révén érvényesül. Az én-rendszer alapjellegzetessége a dinamikus stabilitás. Ezt az én-funkciók stabilitása, valamint a helyzetfüggő, kontextuális én folyamatos szerkesztése biztosítja. Az én-rendszer koherenciáját az értékelő-önértékelő funkció teremti meg. Az élettörténeti forgatókönyv fordulópontjai, valamint a történeti-társadalmi sorsesemények kritikus változásokat indukálnak a rendszerben. Az ilyenkor fellépő önreflexiós kényszerrel szemben gyakran ellenállás mutatkozik. Az én-élmény s az én-rendszer stabilitásának legfontosabb funkcionális tényezői: az általános önértékelés pozitív kimenetelének tartóssága; a társválasztási autonómia érvényesülése és a társas háló arányos kiegyensúlyozottsága; az élettörténeti és önismereti narratívumok koherenciája és kidolgozottsága; a szomatikus történet alakulása és reflektáltsága.

Fractal Nature

This paper provides a discussion of the life cycle using a framework constructed from ideas in chaos theory. Building upon psychodynamic ideas from Freud, Jung, and Erikson, the integration of the Self is discussed from the viewpoint of Analytical Psychology. It is proposed that throughout our lives we encounter crisis points that fractionate the ego and necessitate use of more complex and adaptive psychic structures to contain or handle the seemingly disparate qualities that arise. We may say that eventually one aspires to realize Analytical Psychology's goal of integrating the superior and the inferior functions of the psyche into a cohesive Self. Jung seemed to state that the Self could never be attained, but it is argued in this paper that a form of transitory self may be realized periodically during the course of the life cycle.

The investigation studies the relationship between narcissistic self-regulation with the features and expression of self-stigmatization in patients with endogenous mental disorders. The study involved 131 people, including patients with schizophrenia — 66.8% and individuals with affective disorders — 33.2%. The survey was conducted by using the following methods: «Index of Self-system functioning» and questionnaire of self-stigmatization by Mikhailova-Yastrebov. Data on correlation of strength personality reducing with selfstigmatization, the specifics of Self-regulation structure in various inner stigma forms, and the absence of IFSS significant differences in patient’s groups with different nosological forms of mental disorders, disease’s duration and number of hospitalizations — were obtained. The specific personal characteristics underlying premorbid changes in the Self-regulation system that determine the vulnerability of patients to the formation of stigma are discussed.

This study examines how three different motivations for using an SNS (i.e., self-expression, belonging, and memory archiving) influence multi-facets of privacy boundary management on the platform mediated by self-extension to it. In recognition of the fact that information management on SNSs often goes beyond the “disclosure-withdrawal” dichotomy, the study investigates the relationships between the three SNS motives and privacy boundary management strategies (i.e., collective boundary and boundary turbulence management). An online survey with Facebook users (N = 305) finds that the three Facebook motivations are positively correlated to users’ self-extension to Facebook. The motivations for using Facebook are positively associated with the management of different layers of privacy boundaries (i.e., basic, sensitive, and highly sensitive), when Facebook self-extension is mediated. In addition, the three motives have indirect associations with potential boundary turbulence management mediated by Facebook self-extension. Extending the classic idea that privacy is deeply rooted in the self, the study demonstrates that perceiving an SNS as part of the self-system constitutes a significant underlying psychological factor that explains the linkage between motives for using SNSs and privacy management.
