    Rita Carter - Multiple VS Unified Self

    Uploaded by

    Filmae Estomagulang
    Rita Carter accepts the existence of multiple selves. She published a book called "Multiplicity: The New Science of Personality" which guides readers on how to know themselves better. There are two types of selves: multiple selves and a unified self. Multiple selves are described as others have defined them, while a unified self refers to the integration of subselves into one. Multiple selves have three divisions - major selves which are personalities with thoughts and desires, minor selves which deal with particular conditions, and micros which are the "building blocks of personality." Carter also discusses two ways of assessing ourselves - the Big 5 Personality Dimensions and the Typology of Selves.
