The Implicit Self

TL;DR: This paper found that people's mental representations of self also overlap with inanimate, seemingly impersonal, marketplace entities: consumer brands, suggesting that self-other overlap extends beyond individuals and in-groups.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the experience of mental illness from the perspective of service users and found that the resultant impact upon personal identity is influenced by a combination of personal and environmental factors.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors address the question of "what is self-concept" and highlight the key insights to date from psychology, and explain the difference and similarities between key self-related constructs.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of self-esteem on the parental couple and its well-being and found that the benefits of high selfesteem spread to both members of the couple.

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.

TL;DR: The present conclusion--that attitudes, self-esteem, and stereotypes have important implicit modes of operation--extends both the construct validity and predictive usefulness of these major theoretical constructs of social psychology.

TL;DR: In this article, the balanced identity design is introduced as a method to test correlational predictions of the balance theory, and data obtained with this method revealed that predicted consistency patterns were strongly apparent in the implicit (IAT) measures but not in those for parallel explicit (self-report) measures.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a method to measure the attitude of a group on a specified issue in the form of a frequency distribution, where opinions are allocated to different positions on the base line in accordance with the attitudes which they express.
