The multiple self-aspects framework: self-concept representation and its implications.

Abstract in brief

• The Multiple Self-Aspects Framework (MSF) views self-concept as made up of various context-dependent selves that activate in different situations, influencing how we perceive ourselves and respond emotionally.
• The MSF makes novel predictions about how active self-aspects influence experiences, perceptions, and feelings, and suggests that self-knowledge is shaped by feedback and context in ways that are more nuanced than previously thought.
• This framework helps unify research across different areas of psychology, such as self-regulation, social interactions, and individual differences, offering new insights into how self-related processes operate across diverse contexts.]
