People are often unsure about what they want, what are they like, how do they feel about someone/... more People are often unsure about what they want, what are they like, how do they feel about someone/something or their own self. This is no fault of their own. It’s the result of our inability to directly access information held by our underlying unconscious processes. These processes are adaptive and lead most of human behaviour, like the managers in an organisation, whereas our consciousness is like the CEO that gets involved in the critical task at hand and works closely with the managers and intervenes when required. While we can’t directly get in touch with our implicit personality/attitudes/self-esteem, we can deduce its content by creating a narrative that fits around our conscious-introspection; by observing others view of us and our own behaviour. Positive Psychology may help further our understanding in this research-area by collaborating with Social Psychology, and helping people increase self-knowledge by developing cutting-edge interventions to enable better life-decisions.
