The present investigation comprises two studies. In Study 1, participants gave numerical information about demographic attributes (real-scores). They subsequently rated themselves regarding these attributes on a five-point Likert-type scale (5LTS). Items used different phrasings, inducing (1) a general, (2) a personal, and (3) an outsiders’ perspective. By regressing these ratings on the real-scores, it was shown that information on centers and intervals of the real-scores were not readily reflected by the response scales. This led to different representations of the intervals and centers of the real-scores. The outsiders’ perspective resulted in the most adequate representation of the real-score intervals. Study 2 used neutral item wording with a 5LTS and a four-point Likert-type scale (4LTS) to investigate the possible confound of positive wording. This increased the adequacy of the representations only slightly. Together, the findings indicate that, even on average, the investigated rating scales and items reflect the actual attributes only limitedly and that the self-ratings depend on the item phrasing instead of simply representing a coarse measure of the real-scores.

Abstract The self-anchored rating scale (SARS) is a technique that augments collaboration between Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) interventionists, their clients, and their clients' support networks. SARS is a technique used in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, a branch of systemic family counseling. It has been applied to treating speech and language disorders across the life span, and recent case studies show it has promise for promoting adoption and long-term use of high and low tech AAC. I will describe 2 key principles of solution-focused therapy and present 7 steps in the SARS process that illustrate how clinicians can use the SARS to involve a person with aphasia and his or her family in all aspects of the therapeutic process. I will use a case study to illustrate the SARS process and present outcomes for one individual living with aphasia.

Abstract How the self perceives reality is a traditional topic of research across several disciplines. I examine the perceived self on Facebook, as a case-study of self-knowledge on „classical” social media. Following Blascovich & Bailenson (2011), I consider the distinction between the real and the virtual as relative. Perceptual self-knowledge, filtered through social media, requires rethinking the perceived self in terms of social reality (Neisser, 1993). This claim dovetails Jenkins’s (2013) notion of the self as an active participant in consumption. I argue that the perceived self in social media could be conceived in terms of how it would like to be perceived and appraised by its virtual audience. Using Neisser’s (1993) typology of self-knowledge and Castañeda’s (1983) theory of I-guises, I analyse seven samples from Anglo-American and Bulgarian Facebook sites and show that the perceived self produces itself online as a captivating presence with a credible story. My samples are taken from FB community pages with negligible cultural differences across an online teenage/twens (twixter) age group. I then discuss some problematic aspects of the perceived self online, as well as recent critiques of technoconsumerism.

The Creation

The paper aims to analyze Neil Jordan’s famous movie Breakfast on Pluto in the context of affective “narrative identity.” Breakfast on Pluto is an adaptation of Patrick McCabe’s diary and presents the story of a man who wants to be a woman – he feels like a woman and gradually transforms into one. Patrick/Patricia is thus a transsexual (not only transgender) person who tells the story of a bodily metamorphosis. The author of the paper finds the process of storytelling extremely interesting for a number of reasons. In the paper, the author focuses especially on the process of creating a new identity for the protagonist through the movie’s narration in reference to the categories of “subjective narration” (Edward Branigan) and narrative identity, that is the creation of an identity in the process of telling one’s own story. The author shows how the tools of the movie can shape the process of storytelling (by using special frames, montage, etc.) and how three stories are incorporated in Jordan’s movie: the male and the female story as well as, finally, the subversive self-creation when Patrick/Patricia becomes one whole, one processual identity (in the context of Judith Butler’s assumption about gender). In the paper, the diegesis of the movie will also be analyzed: a number of objects – attributes of masculinity and femininity and the quasi-parodic character of the movie space and the process of storytelling. Parody in Breakfast on Pluto emphasizes the subversive and surfictional structure of the self-story in the movie. The author treats Breakfast on Pluto as a movie version of Entwicklungsroman – the process of narrativization of an identity in transition, of fictionalizing the real life of the protagonist. Therefore, the author also refers to J. M. Coetzee’s assumptions about confession, which is always an important part of self-narration.

Показана специфика формирования представлений о себе у взрослых лиц с нарушением интеллекта. Продемонстрированные особенности связаны с нарративными проявлениями Я-реальной структуры личности, контекстуально означенной как реалистичное понимание себя, оценивание себя и своих поступков, внутреннее содержательное наполнение установок и стремлений по отношению к себе, прогностические позиции по отношению к собственными возможностям и социальным реалиям жизни. При исследовании конструкта Я-реальное с помощью специально разработанных методик и структурированной беседы у исследователя появляется возможность феноменологически описать и интерпретировать имеющиеся особенности через анализ вербальных репрезентаций субъектов диагностики. Presents the specifics of forming self-images in adults with intellectual disabilities. The demonstrated features are related to the narrative manifestations of the Self-the real structure of the personality, contextually meant as a realistic understanding of oneself, evaluation of oneself and one's actions, internal content of attitudes and aspirations in relation to oneself, predictive positions in relation to one's own capabilities and social realities of life. When studying the I-real construct using specially developed techniques and structured conversation, the researcher is able to phenomenologically describe and interpret the existing features through the analysis of verbal representations of diagnostic subjects

The Relationship

This paper presents the results of analyzing the psychological patterns of the development of ethnic identity and interethnic relations in the multinational Levant Region, where interethnic confrontation between Palestinians and Israelis has been noted in recent years. The main aim of the research is to reveal the relationship between the characteristics of Ethnic Identity and the Experience (“perezhivanie”) of Interethnic Relations of Palestinian Muslims in the multicultural Levant Region. In the process of investigating into ethnic self-awareness the authors used the Leary Test, the Semantic Diff erential of “Perezhivanie” ‘Experiencing’ Questionnaire by L.R. Fakhrutdinova aimed at studying the psychosemantic characteristics of the “perezhivanie” ‘experiencing’. The research has displayed that Ethnic Identity is a self-developing phenomenon, basically infl uenced by both the infrastructural relations and positions of ethnic self-awareness, and the processes associated with the relations of ethnic self-awareness with the external environment, with other ethnic groups. The most active points of development have been identifi ed. So, in intrastructural relations, they are active as ratios of I-real and I-mirror with a stronger position of I-ideal, since practically all dimensions of I-real and I-ideal (dominance, egoism, suspicion, etc.) have shown signifi cant diff erences that testify to the points and directions of development of ethnic self-awareness; positions in the relationship between the real self and the mirror self also exerted an active infl uence. The points of confl ict of the structures of ethnic self-consciousness were found, where, when the points of development coincided, the direction of development was diff erent. Thus, suspicion, obedience, dependence, friendliness, integrative indicators of dominance and friendliness have shown themselves to be confl ict points refl ecting confl ict zones between the infl uence of an external ethnic group (mirror self) and self-development processes manifested through the ideal self. In the situation of relations with the external environment, the most active was shown by the self-mirror, which infl uences the development of the subjectivity of the ethnic group through the components of the experience of the Palestinian-Israeli crisis. The infl uence of the real self on the characteristics of the “perezhivanie” ‘experiencing’ of the PalestinianIsraeli crisis was also manifested, and therefore, through the components of the “perezhivanie” ‘experiencing’ of this impression on the development of the self-awareness of the ethnic group.

Straipsnis skirtas Arvydo Šliogerio filosofijos ontologinių nuostatų tyrimui, jame analizuojamos ir lyginamos Šliogerio ir Baudrillard’o tikrovės ontologinio statuso traktuotės. Šliogerio filosofijoje tikrovės ontologinis statusas tematizuojamas parodant ir tai, kas yra, ir tai, kas nėra tikrovė. Baudrillard’as tikrovės ontologinį statusą įvardija negatyviai tematizuodamas tik tai, kas nėra tikrovė. Šliogerio filosofija yra grindžiama paradoksalia ontologine prielaida, jog metadiskursyvinė tikrovė funkcionuoja kaip galutinis neredukuojamas referentas, kuris savo ruožtu traktuojamas kaip juslinė substancija (Esmas). Tačiau pati juslinė substancija, nors ir būdama pamatiniu principu, įgalinančiu prasmingumą, pati negali būti adekvačiai įvardyta ex definitio, nes ji iš principo esti neredukuojama į jokį prasminį darinį ir juo labiau į prasminę sistemą. Baudrillard’o filosofija grindžiama semiologiniu reduktyvizmu, t. y. prielaida, kad prasminės nuorodos į metadiskursyvinę tikrovę yra autoreferentiški simboliniai konstruktai (simuliakrai), todėl bet koks bandymas ir apčiuopti tikrovę, ir apibrėžti ją pozityviai tesukuria negatyvų efektą, t. y. spontanišką ir neišvengiamą kitų autoreferentiškų simbolinių konstruktų gamybą.Pagrindiniai žodžiai: Tikrovė, simuliakras, Baudrillard’as, Šliogeris, ontologija.Positive and Negative Thematization of Reality: Šliogeris and BaudrillardMantautas Ruzas, Marius P. Šaulauskas SummaryThe article aims to elucidate the dialectical nature of the most fundamental ontological tenets of Šliogerian philosophy while contrasting them to Baudrillard’s interpretation of the ontological status of the Real. In contrast to Šliogeris who thematizes the Real both in terms of what it is an what it is not, Baudrillard proceeds in a negative way only by showing what the Real is not. Šliogeris’ philosophy is based on a paradoxical ontological argument that the metadiscursive Real functions as the final non-reductive referent conceptualised as the ultimate perceptual substance (Isness). As an ultimate metaphysical principle, it serves as a core of experience, although it cannot be adequately described ex definitio or else somehow reduced to any meaningful counterpart of the conceptual system. Baudrillard’s philosophy, on the contrary, is based on the principle of semiological reductionism, i.e. on the premise that all meaningful links to metadiscursive reality follow the self-referential logic and therefore are merely interrelated symbolic constructions (simulacra) precluding any direct access to the Real and not only to its positive (cataphatic) articulation.Keywords: the Real, simulacrum, Baudrillard, Šliogeris, ontology.
