This study examined self-concept organization in a patient with multiple personality disorder. Findings revealed a hierarchical structure in how different personalities described themselves and others, offering insights into dissociative identity disorder.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Psychology
  • Personality Psychology

Background:

  • Investigates the internal organization of self-concepts within the framework of cognitive personality theories.
  • Focuses on a single case study of a patient meeting DSM III criteria for multiple personality disorder.

Observation:

  • Assesses personal identity, internal coherence, and hierarchical structure of self and other descriptions.
  • Employs a methodology involving patient descriptions of 12 alternate personalities and 8 significant others using Cattell's 16PF adjectives.

Findings:

  • Factorial analysis revealed a Guttman-like hierarchical structure in trait attribution.
  • The complexity of multiple roles/personalities was comparable to that of described significant others.
  • Descriptions of self and others exhibit a unidimensional ordering based on similarities and differences.
