Belinskaya, E. P. Problem of Changeability/Constancy of Human Self-Concept: Social and Psychological View

Abstract: The article is devoted to the dynamics of social and psychological views on the problem of dynamic aspect of Self-conception and identity. It is shown how the approval of the idea about the changeable Self passed the stages of admission of a social subject’s activity, potential manifestations of Self structures and their temporary modus. The author of the article underlines the role of the actual social environment, i.e. situations of social transformations, in development of these views. It has been affirmed that the vital task of a modern human’s existence is becoming the establishment of the meaning and significance of changing social reality for him personally, with the minimum support of social determinacy and actualization of all his personal resources. This makes the majority of social and psychological approaches to studying the Self pay attention at multiplicity and probability of self-consciousness structures, which reflects the influence of general gnoseological principles of post-modernism on this matter.
