TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the self-esteem, coping and psychology of individuals undergoing infertility treatment at a privately managed health care unit, and found that the challenge related to coping for the participants in this study was to present a coherent life narrative to the world, despite intense feelings of being misunderstood by others, and being faced with the discourse of infertility, as part of one's life script.

TL;DR: Theories of the self from both psychology and anthropology are integrated to define in detail the difference between a construal of self as independent and a construpal of the Self as interdependent as discussed by the authors, and these divergent construals should have specific consequences for cognition, emotion, and motivation.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors pointed out that there is a strong functional tie between opinions and abilities in humans and that the ability evaluation of an individual can be expressed as a comparison of the performance of a particular ability with other abilities.

Abstract: Arguably the greatest single work in the history of psychology. James's analyses of habit, the nature of emotion, the phenomenology of attention, the stream of thought, the perception of space, and the multiplicity of the consciousness of self are still widely cited and incorporated into contemporary theoretical accounts of these phenomena.
