Abstract

ABSTRACT Building on the Dialogical Self Theory (DST) and the Model of Agonistic Self (MAS), this paper introduces the Model of Agonistic Self Methodology (MAS-M). This approach employs constellations as the interpretative framework for the qualitative analysis of data on the self-in-context. Constellations are defined as wider patterns of interactions between voices which follow specific and repetitive scenarios. In order to develop MAS-M, reflexive thematic analysis was performed on individual reports written after interviewing nine elementary school teachers. The data was gathered during two-stage interview process employing the Agonistic Self Interview (ASI), which was introduced into the standard MAS-M procedure. We identified six constellations, whose structure and dynamics were formally described: The King and His Kingdom constellation, Crisis Intervention, Defense of Purpose, Value Conflict, Temporary Inclusion of Sidelined Perspectives, and Reflection. We will discuss the psychological function of each constellation, and their future application as a practical, diagnostic, and research framework.

“这就像国王和他的王国”：通过痛苦自我方法论模型绘制星座图（MAS-M）

本文在对话自我理论(DST)和对抗自我模型(MAS)的基础上，介绍了对抗自我方法论模型(MAS- m)。这种方法采用星座作为对自我在语境中的数据进行定性分析的解释框架。星座被定义为遵循特定和重复场景的声音之间更广泛的互动模式。为了开发MAS-M，我们对九位小学教师访谈后所写的个人报告进行反身性主题分析。数据是在两阶段访谈过程中收集的，采用了引入标准MAS-M程序的激动自我访谈(ASI)。我们确定了六个星座，它们的结构和动态被正式描述为:国王和他的王国星座、危机干预星座、目的防御星座、价值冲突星座、暂时包含边缘化观点星座和反思星座。我们将讨论每个星座的心理功能，以及它们作为实践、诊断和研究框架的未来应用。
