Comments to research in content of self and identity
Macek, Petr ; Osecká, Lída
Self and identity research is connected with many specific problems.They are related not only to different theoretical frameworks and to terminological difficulties. A main specifity is based on the fact, that information about self-system and identitty can be obtained only from subjective presentations and statements of respondents. There are no criteria of external validity. All other human characteristics (temperament, cognitive dimensions, perceptions and evaluations from others, communication) caan be considered as determinants of self-system and identity. However, they do not offer direct information about a content of identity and self. On the other hand, not all subjective statements regarding self are relevant for self-system and identity. Ouur contribution discusses some possibilities and difficulties of quantitative and qualitative research in this matter.
