No construct is more central to personality than the person's self-concept. Higher-order domains of self-assessment, including self-perceived skills, traits, and values, are expressed in action and provide frames of reference for deciding whether to accept or reject personally relevant social feedback. To perform these functions in a consistent manner, the domains of self-concept need to achieve coherence, with the components of each domain sufficiently integrated to provide an unequivocal platform for decision making and behavior. This depiction implies two functions of self-reflection—one focused on forging coherence in self-concept and the other focusing on the expression of domains that have achieved coherence. We refer to these two modes of self-reflection, respectively, as integration and expression. Both modes can be understood in terms of a spotlight of attention that focuses on different regions of the self-structure. In the integration mode, the spotlight converges on incoherent regions of self-concept to eliminate inconsistencies among the lower-level components. In the expression mode, the spotlight converges on coherent regions of self-concept that can provide an unequivocal platform for decision making and effective action. Using agent-based modeling, we illustrate the operation of both modes, discuss the conditions that differentially activate them, and develop their implications for personality dynamics.

整合与表达:自我反思的互补功能

对于人格来说,没有什么结构比个人的自我概念更重要了。自我评估的高阶领域,包括自我感知的技能、特质和价值观,在行动中表达出来,并为决定是否接受或拒绝与个人相关的社会反馈提供参考框架。为了以一致的方式执行这些功能,自我概念的各个领域需要实现连贯性,每个领域的组成部分充分集成,为决策和行为提供明确的平台。这种描述暗示了自我反思的两个功能——一个侧重于形成自我概念的连贯性,另一个侧重于表达已实现连贯性的领域。我们将这两种自我反思模式分别称为整合表达。这两种模式都可以通过关注自我结构的不同区域的注意力来理解。在集成模式中,焦点集中在自我概念的不连贯区域,以消除较低级别组件之间的不一致。在表达模式中,焦点集中在自我概念的连贯区域,可以为决策和有效行动提供明确的平台。使用基于主体的建模,我们说明了两种模式的运作,讨论了差异激活它们的条件,并开发了它们对人格动态的影响。
