Abstract

The aim of the study presented in the article is to determine the nature of the relationship between the subject's experience of difficult situations and the formation of self-identification as a functional organ. The structure of the process of experiencing difficult situations is determined, which includes three components: the formation of the goal of the action in a situation of difficulty; conscious correlation of purpose and subject conditions of activity; conscious correlation of the purpose of the action with the motive in the face of difficulties encountered in the implementation of the goal. An experimental methodology for its study has been developed, which allows one to study this process in the unity of its components. The structure of the process of self-identification is disclosed, which includes three functional components: the meaning of autobiographical experience; axiomatization, selection and integration of the phenomenology of autobiographical memory, expressed in the formation of identification constructs; symbolically mediated integration of identification constructs, embodied in the formation of a meta-identification construct. An experimental technique for studying self-identification is presented, which allows one to study this process in the unity of its functions. As a result of the study, it was found that with an increase in the level of implementation of the process of experiencing difficult situations, the level of self-identification also increases. Having experienced a difficult situation, the subject «turns» the signs that he had previously used to designate social roles into functional tools of self-identification. Experiencing difficult situations provides a selection of the experience of the socio-cultural interaction of the subject, increasing the significance of its individual components, while preserving in the autobiographical memory, which is an empirical tissue of self-identification, the most valuable and subjectively significant events of individual history.
