Hi, need to submit a 1750 words paper on the topic Attempts to Transcend the Individual-Society Dualism in Understandings of the Self. It would seem that there have always been complexities in attempting to understand self from a research perspective. This dualism is noted in the different approaches with the self, as previously identified, as a construct of a core motivation or core personality. Much different than the social psychoanalytical approach is the phenomenological view which appears tightly focused on experience and the tangible realities of life to explain the development and concept of self. The phenomenological approach would suggest that different environmental stimuli or life experiences strongly mandate behavioural responses to different social situations. This suggests that self is a flexible and adaptable part of the personality which is in a state of constant evolution as it copes with the external social environment.

The social psychoanalytical approach appears to view respondents as being almost wholly-self-contained in which internal thought patterns and motivations are so inter-linked with behavior that they cannot be separated for adequate study. One author in this area of the social study describes the self as an internal, observed self and the external, observing self as if one could pick up a mirror, view the reflection, and be observed like others in society would observe them (YOUR BOOK, 200?). This approach would recognise the subject&nbsp.of study as a person who balances different behavioural responses based on internal thoughts and values as well as perceived judgments or criticisms from the external social environment. This would recognise the subject in terms of dualism, self against self or self for self, based on the perceived relevance of any given social situation.&nbsp.of study as a person who balances different behavioural responses based on internal thoughts and values as well as perceived judgments or criticisms from the external social environment. This would recognise the subject in terms of dualism, self against self or self for self, based on the perceived relevance of any given social situation.&nbsp. The aforementioned also illustrates how the social psychoanalytical approach seems to have a dualist approach in determining how the self functions either dependently or independently of the external environment. Hidden unconscious and deeply-buried motivations which are so powerful or too difficult to cope with appear, from the social psychoanalytical approach, to occur from social relevance and social interactions.&nbsp.
