“…Second, the present research measured participants' self-continuity in a broader range of time scopes: across past, present, and future selves. Little research has examined selfcontinuity from the past and to the future simultaneously, with some notable exceptions (e.g., Sokol & Eisenheim, 2016). Consistent with Sokol and Eisenheim (2016), we found that past self-continuity and future self-continuity are positively associated, with correlation coefficients ranging between .48 and .56.…”

The present research explores how culture influences individuals’ psychological proximity to the past and future, which may predict differences in perceived self‐continuity across time. In Studies 1 and 2, we hypothesized and found that Chinese participants saw the past and future as more connected and subjectively closer to the present compared to Euro‐Canadians. Following this, we expected and found in Studies 3 and 4 that Chinese participants perceived greater self‐continuity over time than Euro‐Canadians. Additionally, perceived closeness to the past mediated the effect of culture on past–present self‐continuity, which subsequently predicted present–future self‐continuity. Study 5 further documented a causal effect of perceived distance to the past on self‐continuity. These results suggest that cultural differences in temporal attention to the past and future play a pivotal role in people's sense of self‐continuity across time. This has important implications for temporal focalism, intertemporal discounting, and social interactions between Chinese and Euro‐Canadians.

“…35 Individuals in a state of anxiety tend to think more negatively and may feel more negatively towards the meaning of life, and are prone to suicide. 36 In addition, anxiety may cause changes to physiological indexes, such as sleep, which may also cause suicidal ideation. 37 Inflammatory conditions, such as increased CRP levels may also affect suicidal ideation.…”

Background and Aim: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is currently prevalent worldwide. This research aimed to explore the effect of adverse childhood experience (ACE) on suicide ideation in young cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Selfreported questionnaires analyzed the mediating effects of sleep quality, anxiety symptoms, and inflammatory conditions between ACE and suicide ideation. Materials and Methods: A total of 197 young cancer patients (age 18-40) completed questionnaires and a blood test. Correlation analysis and structural equation model were used to explore the relationships between ACE, sleep quality, anxiety symptom, serum C-reactive protein (CRP) levels and suicide ideation. The mediating roles of sleep quality, anxiety symptoms, and CRP levels on the influence of ACE on suicide ideation were explored. Results: ACE was positively related to anxiety symptoms, CRP levels, and suicide ideation, and negatively related to sleep quality. Anxiety symptoms and CRP levels were positively related to suicide ideation, while sleep quality was negatively related to suicide ideation. Anxiety symptoms were positively related to CRP levels but negatively related to sleep quality. From these results, we found ACE affected suicide ideation directly and was mediated by roles sleep quality, anxiety symptom and CRP. Conclusion: ACE not only directly affected suicide ideation but also affected suicide ideation through sleep quality, anxiety symptoms, and inflammatory conditions in young cancer patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Therefore, targeted intervention and help for cancer patients from the perspective of ACE should be put into practice.

“…These processes include autobiographical memory, a narrative construction that develops to integrate diverse experiences to allow a persisting self-representation, the awareness of a body that is perceived as belonging to oneself, and a representation of one’s qualities, values, and characteristic ways of engaging with oneself and others (i.e., personality; e.g., Lampinen et al, 2004 ). The bringing together of disparate elements over time into a sense of oneself persisting from past to present (and future) has been variously referred to as diachronic unity, diachronicity, continuous identity or a temporally extended self ( Braude, 1995 ; Radden, 1996 , 1999 ; Lampinen et al, 2004 ; Klein, 2012 ; Prebble et al, 2013 ; Sokol and Eisenheim, 2016 ). In adulthood, many people will appraise that despite major psychological and bodily changes, they remain the same person they were earlier in their life.…”

The Sense of Self Over Time: Assessing Diachronicity in Dissociative Identity Disorder, Psychosis and Healthy Comparison Groups

et al. 2021

Dissociative experiences have been associated with diachronic disunity. Yet, this work is in its infancy. Dissociative identity disorder (DID) is characterized by different identity states reporting their own relatively continuous sense of self. The degree to which patients in dissociative identity states experience diachronic unity (i.e., sense of self over time) has not been empirically explored. This study examined the degree to which patients in dissociative identity states experienced diachronic unity. Participants were DID adults (n=14) assessed in adult and child identity states, adults with a psychotic illness (n=19), adults from the general population (n=55), children from the general population (n=26) and adults imagining themselves as children (n=23). They completed the Diachronic Disunity Scale (DDS), the Dissociative Experiences Scale (DES), and the Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCCS). Diachronic disunity was not limited to psychiatric groups, but evident to some degree in all adult and child samples. The DID adult sample experienced more dissociation and self-confusion than the psychosis and adult comparison groups, but did not differ on the diachronic measure. DID patients in their child identity states and child comparisons showed disunity and were significantly different from child simulators, who showed relatively more unity. Results suggest that DID patients in either adult or child dissociative identity states, like those in other samples, do not universally experience themselves as having a consistent sense of self over time.

The Relationship Between Continuous Identity Disturbances, Negative Mood, and Suicidal Ideation

Abstract: Lack of continuous identity predicted both depression and suicidality severity. Integration of perceived identities may be a worthwhile goal for behavioral interventions aimed at reducing depressed mood and suicidality.
