The psychological synthesis evaluated by the interactive model

Abstract

The purpose of this article was to elaborate a model to evaluate the synthesis process resulting from the interaction which is established between opposing constructs, like gender schemas. In social psychology, the existence of opposites is possible to be detecting in contemporary theories, such as individualism versus collectivism and masculinity versus femininity. In all these themes, opposites assume both an oppositional and complementary attitude, but little relevance has been given to the process of synthesis. The Interactive Model was elaborated in an attempt to mathematically express the synthesis process and open up the possibility of studying human personality from a new perspective -the Psychological Synthesis. Keywords: Interactive model; Personality; Psychological synthesis; Cognitive schemas; Dualism. ResumoO propósito deste estudo foi elaborar um modelo para avaliar o processo de síntese resultante da interação que se estabelece entre constructos com naturezas opostas, como os esquemas de gênero. Em psicologia social, a existência dos opostos pode ser detectada em teorias contemporâneas, tais como: individualismo versus coletivismo e masculinidade versus feminilidade. Em todos estes temas, os opostos assumem tanto uma postura de oposição quanto uma postura complementar, mas pouca relevância tem sido dada ao processo de síntese. O Modelo Interativo foi elaborado na tentativa de expressar matematicamente este processo de síntese, e abre a possibilidade de se estudar a personalidade a partir de uma nova perspectiva -a Síntese Psicológica.

“…To establish the classification of psychological gender profile in female athletes, the Interactive Model (Giavoni & Tamayo, 2010) was used. Must follow all steps for each sample, first, the dimensions of masculine and feminine schemas are calculated by mean of items.…”

“…Consequently, the bisector, 45°, is considered the most interaction between both norms. The deviation is founded by subtracting the angle of each participant by bisector (deviation = 45°angle) (Giavoni, 2000;Giavoni & Tamayo, 2010).…”

“…Based on a this framework and on theories previously elaborated to assess this concept, Giavoni (2000) elaborated a new model to evaluate the psychological androgyny: the Interactive Model (Giavoni & Tamayo, 2010). Differently from other models that define androgyny as a specific group, this model predicts that all individuals, regardless of sex, have representatives of masculinity and femininity; thus, all individuals are carriers of different degrees of androgyny (Giavoni & Tamayo, 2010). From this perspective, androgyny becomes a psychological state, resulting from the interaction of masculine and feminine schemas represented in the self-concept (Giavoni, 2000;Giavoni & Tamayo, 2005).…”

“…As masculinity and femininity traits are universal concepts present in the most diverse cultures, it can be affirmed that all individuals possess, to a greater or lesser extent, these traits at the level of self-concept, as central structures similar to the personality traits that generate a sense of identity in individuals (Giavoni & Tamayo, 2010). These structures are conceived as lenses that filter perceptions, influencing the way of thinking, feeling, and acting.…”

“…9 No ponto de vista de Giavoni; Tamayo, 10 os indivíduos podem ser heteroesquemáticos masculinos (HM), os que apresentam predominância do esquema masculino, heteroesquemá-ticos femininos (HF), predominância para o esquema feminino e isoesquemáticos (ISO-E) os que apresentam uma simetria entre os dois esquemas.…”
