Objective: The purpose of the article is to connect the time perspective of the convicts with their self-concept. Background: After an extended stay in places of deprivation of liberty, it is difficult for convicts to adapt to the conditions of life in freedom, to restore the social ties that were lost and weakened due to isolation. And therefore, they often fall into the marginal part of the population, cannot find their place in life, and often replenish the number of unemployed or, even worse, re-enter the criminal path and commit crimes. Method: The following psychological methods were used: the technique of “Who am I?”, which allowed studying the cognitive component of the self-concept; the methodology of personal differential that provides an opportunity to study the emotional component of the self-concept; the self-attitude test questionnaire and the method of F. Zimbardo allowed to determine the main features of the time perspective. Results: The article reflects the study of convicts based on which a typology of “self-concept” of convicts was proposed. Besides, the results of a study of the temporal perspective of convicts depending on the type of self-concept are presented. Conclusion: The authors are inclined to believe that a detailed study of this problem will identify and provide effective ways to stimulate the constructive resocialization of various categories of prisoners.

The research explores the new media tools manifested in communication and public relations discursive practices in organization, marked by Bahtinian polyphony in media relations texts. The study of organization theory can be defined, analyzed and evaluated as dialogic organization constructed in and by dialogues as discursive practices [Hatch 2006, Grunig, 2002, Castells 2011]. Redefining polyphony consists in analyzing the original definition as “one self - concept is formed part from the social relationship we have with others and from others’ responses to what we say and do…….Because the self is constructed out of our need to balance on our own needs with those of others, the self is necessarily dialogic or make in concert with others”.[Bahtin, 1981] But having the keys for reading the self – concept as the social identity of an organization, the social relationships with others, namely the public(s) as groups of interests validated in the public sphere, and the roles and relations starting from the organization to and from the public(s). Thus evaluating the main levels offered by the framework in organization, the current research has identified: the intentional level created in the communicative contract by the organization in the context the new media have been used; the impact upon the public(s) - audience and/or communities throughout the means of new media and social media, analyzing their posts, comments; the rules of structuring the sequential configuration of the messages in media text as dialog, trilog or polilog in the polyphony of discursive media relations practices in organization’s site, blog, social media units-Facebook, Twitter, You Tube.

The article examined the ratio of temporal perspective and the components of the sense of coherence that is of particular interest from a position of describing the quality of life experience. In the study we used the time perspective scale developed by F. Zimbardo. The main purpose of this article is to study how such components of coherence as meaningfulness, comprehensibility and manageability of life are reflected on the person’s perception of the spatiotemporal quality of life. The study established significant (positive and negative) correlations between the components of the sense of coherence and time perspective. The study found that the meaningfulness of life as an emotional component is not an indicator of a person's purposefulness or positive emotions in relation to the past and present. But comprehension largely affects the importance of what is happening in the present and in the past. Controllability is rather an indicator of the unity of the life temporary line. The overall level of coherence reflects the level of coherence of the past, present, and future. The subjects who have a more positive attitude to their own past and present, which is under their control, showed a predominance of the level of comprehension and a decrease in the level of meaningfulness. At the same time, an increase in the level of meaningfulness entails a decrease in the focus on the future. But the level of controllability of life depends only on the level of fatalism of the present.

This paper argues for a pluralistic, experientially constructed self-concept of autonomy that is embodied in self-feelings and is motivationally defined. Such a motivational model of autonomy is proposed in place of the commonly accepted personality-based model, grounded in the analytic tradition in psychology. Using the self-concept approach of the interpretative school as a springboard, the paper reconceptualizes autonomy as constructed within specific social conditions. On the basis of female experience, autonomy is conceived of as a self-authoring experience emanating from the struggle to meet one's needs and achieve one's significant goals. The notions of struggle and significant goals are suggested as key concepts viable for a motivational theory of autonomy.

Abstract The aim of this paper is to apply a newly developed theoretical model to the understanding of how a new linguistic identity becomes integrated in immigrants’ self-concept. While intergroup theories have addressed the situational changes in social identities, the longer-term processes underlying developmental changes in identities and their integration within the self remain to be identified. Relying on developmental and social cognitive principles, we aim to explain the specific processes by which a new linguistic identity develops and becomes integrated within the self over time. We focus on the particular situation of new immigrants in Québec who need to integrate new linguistic identities (French, English). The social factors that facilitate versus impede these change processes and the consequences associated with the integration of a new linguistic identity are also discussed.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences in self-concept between alcoholic and non-alcoholic adults in each of the following areas: physical self, moral-ethical self, personal self, family self, social self, and self-criticism as measured by the Tennessee Self Concept Scale (TSCS). The TSCS and the Self-Multi-Attitude Test were administered to forty-six alcoholics from the Rehabilitation Centre of the Alcoholism Commission and fifty-nine non-alcoholic employees from government corporations. The Self-Multi-Attitude Test was administered as an additional verification of the sample grouping. A t test was used to assess differences between means obtained by the alcoholics and non-alcoholics on each of the sub-tests of the TSCS. The findings of the study supported the hypotheses that there are significant differences between the means obtained by alcoholics and non-alcoholics on all the sub-tests of the TSCS, with the exception of the self-criticism sub-test.
