TY - JOUR AU - Spytska, Liana PY - 2025 DA - 2025/10/27 TI - Mechanisms of Self-Awareness, Influence, and Self-Identification JO - OBM Neurobiology SP - 306 VL - 09 IS - 04 AB - World socio-political growth is shaped by globalization, integration, and multiculturalism, which also impact individual self-perception. Understanding personal development requires studying self-awareness, self-identification, and influence to identify internal requirements and external influences. The study examined self-awareness, self-identification, influence, and their relationships, as well as psychological interventions for self-assessment and self-realization. To attain the research goal, analysis, synthesis, induction, and generalization were used. Based on four degrees of human capabilities, self-awareness processes operate differently. The directly sensory level involves primary self-perception, self-sensation, and self-perception; the personifying level involves auto-identity, the formation of negative and positive identification of “Self” and “Non-Self”, self-actualization, and self-experience; the intellectual-analytical level requires self-awareness, self-reflection, and self-analysis; and the purposeful-operational level involves self-awareness, self-re. Influence is achieved by persuasion, suggestion, self-questioning, information, incentives, requests, advice, compulsion, imitation, wants, manipulation, evaluation, criticism, ignoring, and psychological contagion. Self-assessment and self-criticism rely on external assessment and criticism, respectively, while all mechanisms of influence influence self-organization, self-control, and self-discipline. However, self-expression, self-assertion, and self-realization can employ appropriate methods of influence. By reflecting on internal and external feelings, influence processes, and self-identification are linked. Psychologists, therapists, and other specialists can use the findings in individual or group therapy.
