This study explored self-reflexion using an algebraic model, finding some predictions about self-ratings were confirmed. The model shows promise for understanding how individuals view themselves and others.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science

Background:

  • Self-reflexion involves observing one's own thoughts and feelings.
  • Previous work by Lefebvre, Lefebvre, and Adams-Webber laid groundwork for this research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To test predictions derived from a formal algebraic model of self-reflexion.
  • To examine frequencies of self- and other-ratings on bipolar adjective scales.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a formal algebraic model of self-reflexion.
  • Collected data from 108 participants (41 men, 67 women; M age= 20.2 yr.).
  • Analyzed rating frequencies on bipolar scales.

Main Results:

  • Two predictions derived from the algebraic model were confirmed.

  • Three predictions were not supported, though observed frequencies were close to predicted values.
  • Mixed findings suggest partial support for Lefebvre's model.

    • Conclusions:

    • The algebraic model of self-reflexion shows encouraging, albeit mixed, validity.
    • Methodological differences from prior studies were discussed.
    • Implications for future research on self-perception were highlighted.
