    Multiple Self Vs Unified Self

    Uploaded by

    Esther Joy Hugo
    The document discusses theories of personality that view the self as either multiple selves or a unified self. [1] Multiple selves theories see the mind as composed of autonomous subselves like dreams, desires, emotions and memories. [2] Rita Carter proposed that there are major, minor, and micro selves. [3] In contrast, the unified self view is that integration of subselves into one coherent self occurs later in life and the unity of selfhood is a defining fact.

    Selves Vs
    Unified self
    Multiple Selves

    Theories of personality reveal the influence


    of two themes: human behavior is
    determined in part, and some believe
    completely, by stimuli in the environment.
    The mind is composed of multiple such
    sub selves that are autonomous sets of
    psychological processes such as
    dreams, desires, emotions and
    memories.
    By: David Lester
    Rita Carter proposed Multiplicity
    She introduced the division of multiple selves
    into major and minor selves and a number of
    fragmentary micros. 
    Major “fully fleshed out character with thoughts, desires, intentions, emotions, ambitions and
    beliefs”
    Minor A minor may be no more than a small collection of responses, just enough to deal with
    a particular situation, such as a compulsion to argue with certain people or smoking in
    certain situations. 
    Micros Micros are “the building blocks of personalities—individual responses, thoughts, ideas,
    habit” as small as a physical or vocal tic or a repeated intrusive thought or emotion.
    Unified Self

    It is the integration of the sub selves into


    one, however, integration is a task for the
    later part of life.
    The multiplicity of selfhood is a metaphor.
    ("The individual's belief about himself or
    herself, including the person's attributes and
    who and what the self is“).The unity of
    selfhood is a defining fact.
    By: Baumeister
    True Self
    It is inherently moral, good, and transcends
    situations and circumstances and culturally stable;
    governed by the moral code.
