[Interpretation/Self Perception] MOR

[Interpretation/Self Perception] MOR

Aliases

• MOR
• morbid self-image
• damaged self-image

Definition

MOR in Self Perception shows how much the self-image is experienced as damaged, defective, worn down, or without value. Where MOR in Ideation describes a general tone of thinking, the focus here is how much of that tone falls on the representation of the self.

Interpretation

• If the value is high, the person may feel marked by flaw, damage, or personal defect.
• If it is combined with SumV_self, negative self-image may be accompanied by intense self-criticism.
• If An_Xy is also high, the body image may feel more fragile, deteriorated, or threatening.
• If MOR is high in both ideation and self-perception, the negative tone may be broad and also deeply personal.

Cautions

• High MOR_self does not automatically equal clinical depression.
• Real illness, physical trauma, or a period of loss can increase damaged self-image reactively.
• A zero value does not guarantee a healthy or stable self-image.

Cross References

• MOR_self shows the negative tone of self-image, but does not explain by itself how that experience is defended or regulated.
• It should be read together with SumV_self, FD, Fr+rF, and DEPI.
