Phenomenology of subjectity as demonstration of personality in relationship with a significant other
The article contains the results of research on subjectivity in intersubjective human relations. Various theoretical approaches to the definition of "subjectivity" are considered: as a reflective mode of existence, as an intention for the authenticity of existence, as a system of personality traits, as the main indicator of personal maturity and the normality of psychological development. The descriptions of the phenomenon of subjectivity in the different conceptions of personality in counseling psychology are compared. The article presents the results of research on the phenomenon of subjectivity in an intersubjectivity relationship with a significant Other. The main research methods are interviews and interpretative analysis. The research identified the following criteria for the demonstration of subjectity: mindfulness and the capacity for reflection (as a necessary basic condition), self-acceptance and responsibility as the localization of control of volitional manifestation, and responsibility as a sense of self-regulation. Each criterion is described qualitatively: the people who made statements revealing these criteria are described. Also, according to several criteria, the typology of the demonstration of the criteria of subjectity in intersubjective relations with a significant Other is presented. Self-acceptance in terms of conditionality/unconditionally and positive/negative attitude is revealed.
