DISSOCIATION, SPLITTING AND COMPARTMENTALIZATION IN TRAUMA-RELATED DISORDERS

The article is devoted to the analysis of actual scientific views and theoretical research on the participation of the phenomena of dissociation, splitting, and compartmentalization in disorders associated with mental trauma, in particular, PTSD and addictions. It is shown that the understanding of the concepts of dissociation and splitting developed in parallel and that both concepts emerged from research on trauma. Empirical studies show a clear correlation between dissociation, splitting, and compartmentalization with trauma-related disorders. However, there is considerable confusion in the differentiation of these concepts: some authors use them as synonyms, other authors consider dissociation to be a more basic process underlying splitting, and some distinguish two separate types of dissociation - separation, and compartmentalization. In this article, the concept of dissociation and splitting into separate independent phenomena is chosen, where dissociation is defined as the separation of mental processes or mental systems from consciousness, and splitting is defined as the division of consciousness itself into several independent centers of self-consciousness, with the phenomenon of compartmentalization referring to a shallow level of splitting. Both dissociation and splitting can exist in the spectrum from normal to deep pathology of the (sub)psychotic level. The article analyzes how dissociation and splitting can participate in the formation of trauma-related disorders such as PTSD and addiction. In the formation of PTSD, a part of the human psyche system associated with traumatic experiences is detached from consciousness as a result of protection from unbearable experiences (dissociation). Further, due to unsuccessful attempts to integrate the trauma, a negative self-concept with feelings of shame/guilt is formed, which splits off from the core self (splitting). As a result, a triadic structure is formed: the normative Ego-state, the split traumatic Ego-state, and the dissociated traumatic Self-state. When addiction is formed based on early trauma, a dissociated self-state exists since childhood, but while using psychoactive substances, it is integrated with a state of altered consciousness, which is why a person is experiencing a state of high, similar to a miracle. In this case, a system is formed of a normative Ego state, a dissociated traumatic Self-state, and a detached addictive Ego state, which is activated exclusively in a state of altered consciousness, and during activation, integration with the dissociated Self-state occurs. This addictive integration is the real motive for the use of this group of addictive drugs. The proposed concept can be used in the psychotherapy of trauma-related disorders as a conceptualization of cases and conceptualization of loci of therapeutic contact. Keywords: dissociation, splitting, compartmentalization, mental trauma, PTSD, addiction

“Moving choice to center stage” in the relationship between the self and offending: Integrating symbolic interactionism and rational choice

Symbolic interactionism (SI) and rational choice (RC) can inform two parts of one process in which an individual's self guides their choice to offend. Building on the work of others who have referenced their theoretical compatibility, I draw explicit connections between the key concepts of each perspective to propose an integrated framework for examining variation in offending both between- and within-persons. The framework proposes a process by which individuals hold several structured role-identities that inform expectations of the risks, costs, and rewards of offending, and together these role-identities comprise a core self that influences the degree to which one weighs these expectations (preferences) in behavioral decisions. Further development of this integrated model can advance empirical tests of SI and RC.

A Social Self-Awareness Agent with Embodied Reasoning

In the realm of multi-agent systems, establishing social self-awareness in agents stands as a critical challenge within the broader scope of artificial general intelligence research. Addressing this challenge, in this paper, we draw upon Tomasello’s social self-awareness theory as a foundational framework, and employ Non-Axiomatic Reasoning System (NARS), an artificial general intelligence model, to simulate analogical and recursive reasoning methods used by socially embodied agents. In this paper, we assume that an agent can possess sensorimotor capabilities and physical common sense, it explores the process of constructing a “core self” through embodied reasoning. On this basis, we explore deeper into the construction process of social self-awareness. As a result, we clarify how agents generate common knowledge about themselves through recursive reasoning regarding the mental states of others and communication dynamics. Following this initial step, metaphors are generated utilizing analogical reasoning, intertwining public knowledge with these metaphors to facilitate mutual comprehension between humans and machines. This paper delves into the simulation of perspective representation and recursive reasoning within social embodied agents, employing NARS– an overarching artificial intelligence platform. The experimental results substantiate the viability of constructing a social self-agent within a machine framework grounded in embodied reasoning.

Unmasking Neurodiversity: Revisiting the Relationship Between Core Self and Sense of Self to Examine Common Neurodivergent Script Decisions

This article proposes further development of a TA model that accounts for neurodiversity in a way that is not pathological, one that is in critical response to implicit ableism in TA theory and current standard diagnostic manuals. The authors propose that there is value in incorporating theories of a core organismic self alongside transactional analysis theory of ego structure in accounting for our unique qualities endowed since birth, including neurodiversity. They suggest that the sense of self is formed by two relational processes: the I-I relationship between structural ego states and the core self and the I-Other relationship between structural ego states and others. The authors propose that the accommodations made by a neurodivergent person generally lead to script decisions emerging from their sense of self, which are often categorized as lazy, stupid, and disruptive. The article offers some thinking about these script decisions’ complementary functions.

Heaney’s Human Chain delves deeply into themes of mortality, presence, and absence, making it an excellent text for exploring the sense of death through hermeneutic analysis. Seamus Heaney (1939- 2013) is considered the best poet after W. B. Yeats, and his esteemed reputation among English writers makes his poetry well-known among readers and critics. After a long journey and a lot of experience Heaney gained from the troubles that faced Ireland and what came after, he reached his final step in the Human Chain. Going through the twelve collections of poetry that he wrote, from Death of Naturalist 1966 to his final collection, Human Chain 2010, Heaney explores a variety of themes that are related to his past and present. This article will investigate the concept of death in this volume by selecting the related two poems “Had I not been awake” and “Chanson d’Aventure”. This study applies a hermeneutic textual analysis methodology to analyze the selected poems. The objective of this study is to analyze the two poems and thus find the core of self that the poet reached in this volume of poetry, accepting the idea of death in the final steps of his life.

The Influence of Perceived Usefulness and Perceived Ease of use on Behavioral Intention on Brimo Application Users in Bengkulu City

The current study aimed to examine the influence of perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use on behavioural intention among Brimo application users in the city of Bengkulu. A quantitative approach and survey methods were used to collect data. Brimo application users in the city of Bengkulu were used as the sample for this research. Using a questionnaire, data was collected from 96 Brimo application users in the city of Bengkulu. Multiple regression analysis was used to test this research hypothesis. The research results statistically show that: (1) perceived usefulness has a significant positive effect on behavioral intention, if in core self-evaluation the higher the perceived usefulness, the higher the behavioral intention; (2) perceived ease of use has a significant positive effect on behavioral intention, if in core self-evaluation the higher the perceived ease of use, the higher the behavioral intention; (3) perceived usefulness and perceived ease of uses together have a significant positive effect on behavioral intention, if in core self evaluation the higher the perceived usefulness and perceived ease of uses, the higher the behavioral intention. Perceived usefulness and perceived ease of use can influence behavioral intention by 36%. The remaining 64% is explained/influenced by variables outside the model.

Self-Complexity and Well-Being: A Short Evaluation

Self-complexity is defined as nonoverlapping aspects of the self. The pioneering research of Linville underlined the role of self-complexity in well-being. The basic proposition is that self-complexity can act as a buffer against stress; when one aspect is threatened, the other undamaged aspects of the self will protect the individual's core self. Following Linville's propositions, several researchers tested the role of self-complexity on various well-being outcomes such as depression and emotional distress. Results of these studies are mixed in terms of the functions of self-complexity. Even though there is support for the positive effects of self-complexity, some studies revealed the negative and burdening effect of self-complexity on well-being. The inconsistency between different studies may be related to measurement problems and how researchers approached self-complexity. This paper addresses basic findings of self-complexity and discusses the conditions in which the buffering effect of self-complexity is observed.

Ownership language informs ownership psychology.

Many languages grammatically distinguish between alienable and inalienable possessions. The latter are sometimes restricted to body parts, but they often include other kinds of personally significant entities too. These cross-linguistic patterns suggest that one's most precious owned objects tend to fall within a complex self system that includes not only the core (corporeal) self, but also the extended (noncorporeal) self.

THE EFFECT OF EMOTIONAL LABOR AND BASIC SELF ON CONSTRUCTIVE NORMAL BEHAVIOR IN HOTEL OPERATIONS: THE INTERMEDIATE ROLE OF STAFF EMPOWERMENT

The main purpose of the research is to examine the effect of emotional labor, core self, constructive non-normative behavior and the mediating effect of personnel empowerment. The universe of the study is hotel businesses and the sample is the hotels in Ankara and Muğla. Research data were collected from managers in the hotel enterprises in question by interview form and survey technique from the staff. The data obtained with 538 questionnaires collected from the employees were analyzed. In the light of the data obtained from the employees, "factor analysis" was used for sizing and validating the scales. Correlation analysis was used to determine the relationship between the scales. For the validation of the research model, "Structural Equation Modeling" was preferred in measuring the interaction of the independent variables with the dependent variable and determining the mediating role in the LISREL package program. According to the results of the research, it has been observed that staff empowerment has a partial mediating role in the effect of collective emotional labor on constructive non-normative behavior. On the other hand, it has been revealed that staff empowerment is a full mediator in the effect of core ego on constructive non-normative behavior.

Examining The Role of Core Self Evaluation and Learning Goal Orientation in Determining Individual Ambidexterity

Should I Stay or Should I Go (to the Office)?-Effects of Working from Home, Autonomy, and Core Self-Evaluations on Leader Health and Work-Life Balance.

Leaders represent a high-demand group in organizations. The effects of leaders' personal and workplace resources on their health and work-life balance have often slipped under the radar, as most studies are directed outwardly and focus on follower outcomes. With this study, we closed a gap in the research and investigated the positive effects of remote work, autonomy, and leaders' core-self evaluations (CSE) on two important leader outcomes: health and work-life balance. We hypothesized that the relationship between remote work and the outcomes would be moderated by leaders' CSE and their autonomy-in such a way that leaders with lower resources benefit more from remote work and achieve better health and work-life balance the more days they spend working from home. A sample of 367 leaders reported their frequency of working from home, their autonomy, and CSE. Their health and work-life balance were assessed five months later. Results showed a moderating effect of CSE on both outcomes, indicating that leaders with low CSE benefit more in terms of health and work-life balance. There was no moderating effect of autonomy. Leaders with high resources (autonomy and CSE) had overall higher levels of health and work-life balance regardless of work location. Practitioners in organizations should consider working from home as a resource for leaders, particularly if personal resources are lower.

The gaslighting of authentic leadership 2.0

This article is a response to Bill Gardner and Kelly McCauley’s ‘gaslighting’ critique of our text on the perils of authentic leadership. Against gaslighting 1.0 (evilly trying to convince people to doubt their perceptions), we propose gaslighting 2.0 (enlightenment). We argue that organizations face severe problems and challenges that cannot be solved by motivating managers to engage in introspection and being overly preoccupied by their own authenticity. A search for one’s true self is a personal journey of inner growth and heightened self-awareness that individuals, leaders and non-leaders may engage in and find highly beneficial, but outside any notion of exercising influence or power on others to reach career objectives or corporate goals. The broad use of simple recipes with claims of overwhelming positive effects is problematic. Leadership research is often based on highly problematic measures, making most efforts to capture the core phenomenon unreliable. That many people are attracted by simplistic, positive-sounding and ego-enhancing formulas is not the same as evidence for theoretical value and relevance of a truth claim. Taking aspiration as a critical element would call for the development and study of Aspirational Authentic Leadership Theory, which would be something quite different from the static study of how managers score in terms of being true to their values, a core self, and so on. In-depth process studies of managers trying to be authentic navigating dilemmas at work could be an alternative to focus further research on.

The Self as Source and Destination for Intuitive Interpretations of Religious or Spiritual Experiences

Religious or spiritual experiences (RSE) are often difficult to fully express even if one might be able to describe particular aspects of them. Yet the influences that such carry in a person’s mode of being can be vast, and they are clearly a fundamental part of the human condition (whether accepted, denied, or dismissed, their occurrence appears universal). How then might these RSE—and the corresponding grounding implications—be better explained? This paper seeks to elucidate the problematic via an applied investigation of a self-theoretical framework which is composed of three interlaced “sets”: (1) Self-defining traits, (2) Self-directing traits, and (3) Self-evaluating traits. We will suggest that these elements (with consciousness and bodily presence) form a core self that is a separable facet from those of personal identity and whole person; and this finding will in turn require a brief look at consciousness and a two-tiered mental model. Taking the self-view into a phenomenological hermeneutical examination will illuminate the position at which RSE might reside within an individual’s cognition, and thence to exploring the pre-thought (the functionally pre-aware) foundations involved. Finally, some considerations will be given for how an understanding of the foregoing structure (if it be found valid) might contribute towards the purposive shifting of that self-basis from out of and towards which RSE are situated in a lifeworld.

Mediating role of Thriving at Work for the relationship of Core Self Evaluation with Employee Job Engagement

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of Core-Self Evaluation on Employee Job Engagement by examining the Mediating role of Thriving at Work. A questionnaire survey was utilized to collect the data from 165 employees working in the banks of Lahore. Tests like Reliability, Correlation, and multiple linear regressions were used in the analysis. Mediation was tested by utilizing the Baron and Kenny method. Results revealed that Core-Self Evaluation has a positive impact on Employee Job Engagement and Core Self Evaluation is a positive insignificant impact on Thriving at Work. Moreover, Thriving at Work has a positive impact on employee job engagement. Additionally, Employee Job Engagement also partially mediates the relationship between Core Self Evaluation and Employee Job Engagement. In general, future research on the prproposedesearch will be carried out on the employees of other types of industries like the textile sector, hospitality industry a,nd health sector also. Because Thriving at Work only partially mediates the relation between Core Self Evaluation with Employee Job Engagement and it is preferable to incorporate additional potential mediators like psychological climate, job insecurity through career adaptability.

Personal Characteristics and Nurses' Caring Behaviour

Caring behavior is a fundamental aspect of nurses in performing nursing care including professional attitudes, knowledge and skills that have an impact on nursing care and services and patient safety. Objective study to identify the relationship of personality characteristics with nurses caring behavior. Using a cross sectional design with a sample of 124 nurses working in the Jakarta Government Hospital. The research instrument consisted of nurse characteristics, nurse caring behavior, Core Self Evaluation (CSE) personality model characteristics and Dominance, Influence, Steadiness and Compliance (DISC) personality type characteristics. Characteristics of the CSE personality models have a moderate relationship and positive direction (p = 0, 0001, r = 0.496) with caring behavior, and the greatest correlation is self-efficacy (p = 0.0001, r = 0.528), and the lowest correlation is emotional stability (p = 0.0006, r = 0.243). While the DISC personality type and nurse characteristics have no relationship (p> 0.05). CSE personality model characteristics are related to nurses caring behaviour. While DISC personality type characteristics and nurse characteristics do not have a relationship with nurse caring behaviour. The factor that most influences caring behaviour is personality self-efficacy.

The Impact of Childhood Trauma on Adult Marital Attitudes: The Mediating Effect of Core Self-evaluation

With the development of the new era, the marriage attitude traditionally retained by society is changing, and the growth program of individuals is very important for the cultivation of core self-evaluation and the ideology of marriage attitude, so whether the level of contemporary individuals is very important for the cultivation of core self-evaluation and the ideology of marriage attitude, so whether the level of contemporary The study also examines the relationship between childhood trauma, core self-evaluation, and the ideology of marriage attitude, so whether the level of contemporary marriage can be improved by changing the degree of childhood trauma is an issue of concern. METHODS: The Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ--SF), the Marital Attitude Scale (MAS), and the Core Self--Esteem Scale (CSTS) are used to measure the relationship between childhood trauma, core self--evaluation, and marital attitudes. The Core Self--Esteem Scale (CSES) were administered in a web--released format to 431 people, with subjects in the age range of 18 to 45 years. RESULTS: Childhood trauma showed a significant positive correlation with adult marital attitudes (r=0.643, P<0.01); and with core self-evaluation (r= 0.701, P<0.01). Core self-evaluation showed a significant negative correlation with adult marital attitudes (r=-0.454, P<0.01). Core self-evaluation partially mediated the relationship between childhood trauma and adult marital attitudes. CONCLUSION: The effect of childhood trauma on adult marital attitudes can be achieved indirectly through core self-evaluation.
