“…Psychosocial Stressors of trauma and neurotic personality trait have a strong association, as this study found that people with the neurotic trait are more prone to stressors due to traumatic events (Han et al, 2021). Current research set up that neurotic personality has a direct effect on psychological stressors and self-esteem, and self-appraisal mediates this relationship (Baldwin et al, 2021).…”

The current study aimed to find out the mediating role of anxious self-esteem and self-appraisal of trauma in the relationship of neuroticism and psycho-social stressors of trauma in a sample of 213 (men =31%, women = 68%) between the ages of 18 to 26 (M = 20.78, SD = 2.46). Participants were selected by using a purposive sampling strategy studying in private and government universities of Lahore, Pakistan. Neuroticism vs. Emotional Stability Scale (John et al., 1991), Anxious/ Withdrawn Self-esteem Scale for University Population (Zafar et al., 2012), Psychosocial Stressors of Trauma scale (PSST) (Rani et al., 2021), and Self-Appraisal Scale (Rani et al., 2021) were used to assess the neuroticism vs. emotional stability, anxious self-esteem, self-appraisal of trauma and psycho-social stressors of trauma in university students. Findings of correlation analysis depicted the interrelatedness of neuroticism, anxious self-esteem, self-appraisal of trauma, and psycho-social stressors. Mediation analysis suggested the serial mediating role of anxious self-esteem and self-appraisal of trauma in the association of neuroticism vs. emotional stability and PSST in university students. These findings might be used to overcome the adverse outcomes of trauma in University students.

“…This pattern, though, may be due to the fact that incremental theorists are guided by long-term rather than short-term self-enhancement concerns (Sedikides & Strube 1997). As another example, self-continuity may be a function of a positive information ecology; that is, it may be due to an overreliance on the higher number of positive than negative self-attributes stored in memory (Baldwin et al 2021). Arguably, however, the disproportionate storage of positive self-attributes is motivated to begin with (Sedikides & Skowronski 2020).…”

Self-continuity is the subjective sense of connection between one's past and present selves (past–present self-continuity), between one's present and future selves (present–future self-continuity), or among one's past, present, and future selves (global self-continuity). We consider the motivational character of the three forms of self-continuity, their regulatory properties, and the internal or external factors that consolidate them. We also review their consequences for attitudes and judgments or decisions, motivation, intentions and behavior, and psychological and physical health. We further the detail psychological and behavioral benefits of self-discontinuity (i.e., a sense of disconnect among temporal selves). We next turn to the brain regions that are activated synchronously with self-continuity. We consider developmental perspectives on self-continuity, discuss collective self-continuity (along with its consequences and regulatory properties), and elaborate on cultural differences in self-continuity. This inaugural Annual Reviews chapter demonstrates the breadth, excitement, and sense of synergy among self-continuity researchers and points to promising research directions. Expected final online publication date for the Annual Review of Psychology, Volume 74 is January 2023. Please see http://www.annualreviews.org/page/journal/pubdates for revised estimates.

“…People seem to have some control over how subjectively close the past or future feels to their present selves. For instance, temporal self-appraisal theory suggests that people imagine being “far” from their past selves in order to contrast away from a negative past so that the present self appears better (Baldwin et al, 2021; Wilson & Ross, 2001). In general, people perceive past and present selves as “others” (Pronin & Ross, 2006) and will often use temporal landmarks (e.g., birthdays) to strategically distance the past from the present, if it serves a motivational or self-enhancement goal (Peetz & Wilson, 2013, 2014).…”

People discount both future outcomes that could happen and past outcomes that could have happened according to how far away they are in time. A common finding is that future outcomes are often preferred to past ones when the payoffs and temporal distance (how long ago/until they occur) are matched, referred to as temporal value asymmetry. In this article, we examine the consistency of this effect by examining the effect of manipulating the magnitude and delays of past and future payoffs on participants' choices and challenge the claim that differences in value are primarily due to differences in discounting rates for past and future events. We find reversals of the temporal value asymmetry when payoffs are low and when temporal distance is large, suggesting that people have different sensitivity to the magnitude of past and future payoffs. We show that these effects can be accommodated in a direct difference model of intertemporal choice but not in the most common discounting models (hyperboloid), suggesting that both temporal distance and payoff magnitude carry independent influences on the subjective value of past and future outcomes. Finally, we explore how these tendencies to represent past and future outcome values are related to one another and to individual differences in personality and psychological traits, showing how these measures cluster according to whether they measure processes related to past/ future events, payoffs/delays, and whether they are behavioral/self-report measures.
