Internal Dialogical Activity: Types and Personality Correlates

  • Chapter
Jungian and Dialogical Self Perspectives

Abstract

Dialogicality is not a new topic. Marková (2005) is of the opinion that thinking in antinomies came to the fore in the nineteenth century, when the concepts of evolution, relativity and interdependence of various phenomena in the natural, human and social sciences required a new theoretical underpinning. In post-Hegelian social science, the idea of dialogicality was established by a number of scholars. Mead (1934) and Vygotsky (1962, 1978) are recognized as the pioneers of this theme in psychology. The functions of internal dialogues were also appreciated by Jung (1961) and representatives of the Gestalt theory. Recently, Hubert Hermans’s conception of the dialogical self has contributed to the growth of interest in the phenomenon.
