马库斯的自我社会认知论

马库斯关于自我图式、可能自我、工作的自我概念等观点形成了自我的社会认知理论.自我图式是个体对源于过去经验的自我的认知类化,能够组织和引导个体与自我有关的信息加工过程.可能自我代表了个体可能成为的、喜欢成为的、担心成为的自我,它具有联系自我认知与动机、与自我情感的重要作用.工作的自我概念是在当前的思维和记忆中处于活跃状态的自我概念.马库斯及其同事的跨文化研究表明,文化与人格是相互建构的.

Markus' Social Cognitive Theory on Self

Markus' view on self schemata,possible selves and working self conceptions constitutes her social cognitive theory on self.Self schemata are cognitive generalizations about the self,derived from past experience,that organize and guide the processing of the self-related information.Possible selves represent individuals' ideas of what they might become,what they would like to become,and what they are afraid of becoming,and thus provide a bridge between self cognition and motivation,self cognition and self affect.Working self conception is presently active in thought and memory.Markus and her colleagues' cross cultural researches suggest that culture and personality are mutually constitutive.
