The aim of the presented article is to draw attention to the considerations related to self-formation, which are more and more vivid in the pedeutological discourse. Constant professional development in the teaching professions determines the effectiveness of teaching as students’ achievements depend mainly on teacher’s skills. Contemporary expectations towards teachers are definitely different than years ago. It results from changing reality, which imposes the necessity to constantly increase one's own competencies, not only the professional ones, but mainly those related to personal development. Personal growth is a significant aspect of professional development. Managing one's own development (self-creation) assumes that a man is a self-creator and the space of self-creation is a new method of experiencing the world and one's place in it. The article analyses the determinants of the self-creation process and its structure as well as the transgressive behaviours involved in the process. The analysis of the teacher's functioning as a co-creator of himself is embedded in the trend of the concept of humanistic, emancipatory and cognitive psychology

The authors ground the necessity to clarify the terminological and phenomenological specifics of the terms: “self-fulfillment”, “personal development”, “self-development”. The attention is drawn to the formal usage of these terms in the pedagogical science and the ambiguous interpretations by different scientific schools of psychology. The research of the manifestation of self-fulfillment and personal development is performed based on a selection of 126 teenagers, engaging the “Personal growth” scales from the methods of psychological well-being by C. Ryff, the “Personal growth” scales from the methods of “Life aspirations” by E.Deci, R.Ryan, as well as the author’s method of directivity to self-fulfillment and method to reveal the significance by V.Y, Kotlyakov. For the first time the authors’ questionnaire to measure the self-development in different life spheres is employed. The analysis of the empirical results allows to make a grounded statement that the contemporary teenagers have a prevailing egocentric directivity of self-fulfillment and reveals as well the importance of the interest to the moral aspects of being and the interiorized values of personal growth for the harmonious self-fulfillment of the teenager.

The concept of self is an understanding of the attitude of the individual towards himself so that it results in the interaction of two or more people. Self-concept is a factor that communicates with others. The concept of self is the views and attitudes of individuals towards themselves, characteristics and individual and self-motivation. The self-view includes not only individual strengths but also weaknesses and even failures. This self-concept is psychological, social and physical. Self-concept is our views and feelings about ourselves, which include physical, psychological and social aspects. The concept of self is not just a descriptive picture, but also an assessment of ourselves, including what we think and how we feel. Anita Taylor defines self-concept as "all you think and feel about you, the entire complex of beliefs and attitudes you hold abaout yourself '. Human behavior is a product of their interpretation of the world around them through social interaction. Behavior is often a choice as a feasible thing to do based on how it defines the existing situation. The definition they give to other people, situations, objects and even themselves determines their behavior. So it is individuals who are considered active to regulate and determine their own behavior and environment. While the core of the individual is consciousness (consciousness). self-development depends on communication with others, which shape or influence themselves

This chapter examines how LOHAS salvages its “New Age” focus on self-development or actualization. It examines the Mind Cure, New Thought, and New Age movements in terms of their relationship to capitalism to show how LOHAS extends and expands these movements through the LOHAS category of Personal Development (also referred to as the Mind/Body/Spirit market). In Personal Development goods and services, physical and spiritual self-healing reflects a moral pragmatism by linking self-healing work with that of healing the world. Threaded through the LOHAS discourse is a popular American theme—the power of positive thinking—and this healing modality is put to use in so-called the quantum spiritualities, the latest incarnation of the American therapeutic tradition. The end of the chapter shows how the LOHAS texts use examples of healed selves as testimonials to show that it is indeed possible for individuals to transform themselves to social warriors.

The article is devoted to the illustration of the theoretical and methodological foundations of development facilitative abilities of the future psychologists. It is founded the topicality of the future psychologists’ training, oriented on the basic ideas of humanistic paradigm, the necessity to organize favorable conditions for the development of his abilities. On the base of the realized theoretical analysis was made an attempt to define the concept facilitative abilities of the future psychologist as integrated combination of emotional, cognitive, behavioral and volitional formations which is revealed in the ability to provide its own efficient functioning, formation and development, and promote the full development of another person. It is generalized that most researchers refer to facilitative abilities the ability to be yourself (genuineness, sincerity and congruence); ability of self-esteem and self-understanding, respect and understanding of others; the ability to help and support the approval, adoption; trust, sympathetic understanding; the ability to organize conditions for personal development; the ability to organize a special microclimate in the group. It is determined that the development of the facilitative abilities of the future psychologists is impossible outside of the facilitative environment, in which the self-designing, professional and personal student’s formation directly related to self-development and self-improvement of the teacher-facilitator. One of the most important conditions that provide the facilitation of the environment is subject-subjective (dialogic) interpersonal relationship between teacher-facilitator and student. Prospects for further research we see in foundation theoretical model of future psychologist’s facilitative activity and developing procedural and methodological apparatus psychological monitoring its development.

We describe the foundations of the fractal self in relation to the Chinese notion of personal development and enhancement of adeptness in the world and mutualism with the other. This seeking, described in the codified system of Daoism, is a pathway that may progress to the highest level of achievement of such a self: that which defines a sage. The chapter introduces the view that a sage is a fractal self that achieves a peak of intimacy and constructive interaction with the world. We detail the development of human beings on this pathway, emerging beyond the core embodiments of empathy, sympathy, and rudimentary morality observed in apes. The self for the early Chinese was always a being that was embedded in the world and dynamic flow of forces. This self was defined in intimate terms as adaptable and adept, seeking to be a microcosmic contributor to some holistic macrocosm. In this chapter, Daoism leads our thinking on how the fractal self engages with the world. In turn, this way of understanding selfness and its potential to enrich its system from within resonates with discussions of the interactive self of Buddhism and was also in the minds of Pre-Socratic thinkers in the West.

This chapter examines how personal stories of Chinese citizens often narrate self-transformation as both linguistic development and geographical movement from lower-order social spaces to higher-order ones. Taken together, the stories reveal a common plot structure beginning with descriptions of the self in childhood as naïve and lacking in comprehension, followed by a growing awareness, openness, and sense of personal growth and transformation only fully realized when the teller had traveled abroad. This plot structure of English acquisition was framed against the backdrop of Shenyang as a chronotope, the temporally backward and spatially isolated city, which can be transcended through successful language acquisition. Depending on the nature of these autobiographical trajectories, sometimes the narratives culminate in the realization of transnational personae capable of transcending the limitations of the local social context. In others, however, a variety of obstacles such as age, class, gender, or lack of social connections halt narrative self-development in its tracks, leaving only failed potential or the determination to provide a better grounding for one's children to succeed in the same path.
