    The document discusses self and identity based on a reading about metacognition. It begins by outlining what the author learned - that physical traits are influenced by both genetics and environment, people have multiple personalities depending on their surroundings, and one's identity is shaped by societal interactions. It then lists unclear aspects - when self-stability is considered, when reflexive thinking turns reflective, and what defines identity-congruent actions. Finally, it poses questions - how to maintain a true self with changing personalities, ensuring individuality despite societal norms, and whether to be authentic or adapt at work.

    Metacognitive Reading Report 1

    A Handbook of Self and Identity

    1. What are the three (3) things that you significantly learned from the reading? Please start
    by saying ' Before reading the article, I used to think that (insert thought). After reading
    the article, I now think that (insert thought)'.
    Before reading the article, I used to think that the physical characteristics of a person
    came from the genes of his/her parents or family. That whether it is the hair, body shape,
    complexion, or any physical attributes of a person are only hereditary. After reading the article, I
    now think that aside from being hereditary, there are many factors that affect a person’s physical
    traits. An example would be a person’s body shape. A person might come from a family that are
    composed of slim members. However, he/she was chubbier than them due to his/her own
    volition.
    Before reading the article, I used to think that a person only has one definite trait that is
    applied to different kinds of situations. This makes his/her personality to be something he/she is
    known for. After reading the article, I now think that people have many distinct characteristics.
    This is because there are people who have multiple personalities, wherein each personality is
    used depending on their environment. They used it to be able to adapt and fit into their current
    surroundings and circle.

    Before reading the article, I used to think that I am the only one to decide what I will be,
    who make me, “me”. That there are no other people who knows me best other than myself. After
    reading the article, I now think that there are other factors that affect our personalities. An
    example would be the society, as our characteristics are mostly built-up based on the people we
    interact with. Our traits tend to change based on the current trends of the society, to make every
    one of us fit in their eyes.

    2. What three (3) things about the reading are unclear to you?

    In the section of the article ‘Is the Self Stable?’, it was a bit vague on when will a person
    be considered himself/herself as unstable. This is due to the topic in the reading, the stability of
    people differs based on their self-esteem, which is also associated with their well-being. And if
    they are unstable, they will then be placed on the diagnostic criteria for borderline personality
    disorder.

    In the section of the article ‘Dual-Processing Models’, it was quite confusing to me on


    when reflexive processing will also become reflective processing, or vice-versa. As reflexive
    processing is being thought and done by a person spontaneously, when will it turn to be a
    reflective reasoning, wherein the person will plan his/her thoughts carefully?

    In the section of the article ‘Identity-Based Motivation’ and its core postulates, the part on
    when will the actions of a person be considered as identity-congruent or identity-incongruent
    was quite unclear. This is because a person determines whether his/her actions that engages to
    relevant behaviors are either of the two, which is being evaluated based on the person’s view.

    3. What three (3) questions that you want to ask about the reading?

    A person may have an ‘identity crisis’ when he/she consistently change his/her
    characteristics. As a person can have multiple personalities, how can he/she make sure what
    his/her real traits; that the person is still true to himself/herself, even if he/she change based on
    his/her current environment?

    The society’s norms tend to have a great influence on how a person acts, speaks, or even
    dresses. It made a person to follow what is the current trend, for him/her to feel accepted. Thus,
    based on today’s standards set by the society, how can a person be able to make sure that his/her
    individuality will remain the same and not be lost?

    People tend to want to adapt into the different kinds of environment. In terms of
    workplace, a person will usually act differently than his/her usual self, to fit in with the people
    he/she interacts with. This is because some people may not be confident if he/she will just be
    himself/herself. So, when a person became a professional, will it be more useful to just be
    himself/herself or to present another identity?
