[Interpretation/Lower Section/Self Perception] Self Perception

Aliases

• self perception
• self-image
• self-regard

Definition

Self Perception gathers the variables that help read how the person views the self, how much value is assigned to the self, how much self-observation is present, and what tone the self-image takes. In this cluster, the main review points are 3r+(2)/R, Fr+rF, SumV, FD, An+Xy, MOR, and H ratio.

Interpretation

• 3r+(2)/R helps estimate how much weight the self occupies in the protocol.
• Fr+rF helps show whether the self-image needs special shine, enhancement, or confirmation.
• SumV and FD help distinguish self-criticism, self-observation, and concern about personal limitations.
• An+Xy, MOR, and H ratio help show whether the self-image is experienced as fragile, damaged, partial, or less integrated.

Cautions

• This cluster does not answer only whether the person "likes" the self or not.
• Self-observation, egocentricity, self-criticism, and bodily vulnerability can rise for different reasons.
• No variable in this family should be read apart from interpersonal and affective context.

Cross References

• Self-image shifts with affective state, stress, and recent history.
• Self Perception should be integrated with Interpersonal, Affect, and Core.
