The multiplicity of self-components in the cognitive and dialogical approach. An attempt at integration

Contemporary personality psychology emphasizes internal complexity of the self and the multiplicity of its components. This can be observed independently in two different theoretical approaches – in cognitive theories of the self and in theory of dialogical self. The article compares those two approaches by analyzing similarities and differences between them. The analysis leads to the proposition of integration, in which cognitive and dialogical approaches are seen as complementary rather than mutually exclusive.
