Draft:Self-Continuity

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Self-Continuity

[edit]

Self-continuity refers to the experience of feeling connected to one’s past, present, and future selves, providing a sense of consistency in who we are over time.[1] It’s not just about remembering who we used to be or imagining who we might become; it’s about seeing these different versions of ourselves as part of a coherent narrative or life story. In other words, it’s the subjective connectivity that we feel towards ourselves over time.

Defining Self-Continuity

[edit]

Philosophers and psychologists have long explored what underlies this sense of continuity. David Hume and Derek Parfit argued that the self is not a single, unchanging entity but a collection of changing traits and experiences. They suggested that self-continuity arises from connecting these individual moments. [2] Others proposed that core features like consciousness or the physical body are the basis for self-continuity.

Now, many researchers believe that self-continuity is more than just a sum of specific traits or memories. It’s an overall sense of an unbroken personal journey - a feeling that our life has a coherent narrative.[3] [4]

This sentiment doesn’t always rely on detailed evidence or reflection. People often judge their self-continuity quickly, even without the support of detailed memories. For instance, individuals with memory impairments, such as those with Alzheimer’s disease, can still experience a strong sense of self-continuity despite gaps in their autobiographical memory.[5][6]

Three Forms of Self-Continuity

[edit]

There are three forms of self-continuity:

  1. Past-Present Self-Continuity: This refers to the connection between who we were in the past and who we are now. It stresses how past experiences shape our current identity.[7][8]
  2. Present-Future Self-Continuity: This is the connection between our current self and future self. It’s about how our current actions and decisions influence our future identity.[9][10]
  3. Global Self-Continuity: It is an overarching sense that ties together our past, present, and future selves. It represents a unified perception of our life story across time.[11][12]

Understanding self-continuity in these ways helps explain how we maintain a stable identity amid life’s changes. It’s a subjective feeling that’s psychologically important and influences how we make sense of our lives.

The Impact of Self-Continuity

[edit]

Maintaining self-continuity enhances our self-image by minimizing negative self-concepts and maximizing positive ones. Factors such as low self-concept clarity, social exclusion, and significant life changes (e.g., unemployment, relocation) can decrease self-continuity.[13] Self-continuity can be beneficial to us both physically and psychologically. When we feel a strong connection with our past or future selves, we’re more likely to have favorable attitudes and make positive decisions related to those time periods. This allows us to improve our well-being and make choices that lead to a more fulfilling life.

Benefits of Self-Continuity

[edit]
  1. Self-Continuity Enhances Motivation
    • Past-Present Self-Continuity: Feeling closer to our past makes us appreciate the products or experiences linked to our past. For example, nostalgic advertisements can increase positive attitudes toward previously owned products and purchase intentions for nostalgic products.[14]
    • Present-Future Self-Continuity: Feeling closer to our future selves encourages us to consider future consequences, set long-term goals, make more concrete plans, and exert better self-control.[15] For instance, higher present-future self-continuity leads to better financial decisions, like saving more money and showing patience with delayed rewards.[16] It also increases the tendency to plan for long-term financial security and go to financial workshops.[17] Students who feel connected to their future selves tend to procrastinate less and get better grades due to increased motivation and planning.[18][19]
  2. Self-Continuity Facilitates Moral Judgment
    • Present-Future Self-Continuity: Higher present-future self-continuity encourages ethical decision-making. People who feel a strong connection toward their future selves are less likely to make unethical business decisions.[20] They are also less likely to engage in delinquent behaviors.[21]
  3. Self-Continuity Improves Psychological Health
    • Global Self-Continuity: Feeling connected across time improves our sense of meaning and purpose.[22] It decreases anxiety and depression and increases self-esteem and overall life satisfaction.[23][24]
  4. Self-Continuity Benefits Physical Health
    • Present-Future Self-Continuity: People who feel connected to their future selves are more likely to make healthier lifestyle choices such as exercising regularly and making better dietary choices.[25][26] A strong sense of present-future self-continuity also predicts lower mortality rates, possibly because these individuals actively take care of their future health.[27]

Benefits of Self-Discontinuity

[edit]

Interestingly, self-discontinuity, or low past–present self-continuity, can sometimes be beneficial.

  1. Self-Discontinuity Reduces Sunk Cost Bias:
    • Research shows that feeling disconnected from one’s past self can help reduce the sunk cost bias, where people continue with a course of action despite diminishing returns due to prior investments (like time or money). In other words, when individuals feel less connected to their past self, they may also feel less responsible for past decisions, making them less likely to fall into this trap. For instance, people feeling less connected to their past selves were found to be less inclined to continue investing in projects that were less worthy, as they felt less responsible for these previous choices.[28] Researchers further demonstrated through experimental manipulation that inducing a sense of discontinuity with one’s past self reduced sunk cost bias.[29]
  2. Self-Discontinuity Helps Addiction Recovery:
    • Self-discontinuity can help people overcome addiction. For those struggling with behaviors like gambling or drinking, feeling disconnected from their past self can motivate positive changes. Recognizing a gap between their current self and a “pre-addiction” self can drive individuals to reconnect with a healthier self-image. Studies show that disordered gamblers who felt a sense of discontinuity with their past selves were more likely to take steps toward recovery. This motivation to change was further enhanced when self-discontinuity evoked nostalgia for their former, healthier self.[30] These findings suggest that self-discontinuity may help initiate self-directed change, especially in those who see behavior change as possible.[31]
  3. Self-Discontinuity Encourages Moral Behavior:
    • People who perceived themselves as being different from their past were more likely to confess to past wrongdoings and less likely to find excuses, potentially because they felt less pressure to protect their current self-image.[32]

Strategic Use of Self-Continuity

[edit]

Things like low self-concept clarity, social exclusion, and big life changes can decrease self-continuity and lead to anxiety and depression.[33] Therefore, we are motivated to achieve self-continuity. Such a motivation also shapes how we build our self-concept and arrange different aspects of our identity, such as what we consider as our central traits and desirable future.[34][35]

Factors and Strategies That Enhance Self-Continuity

[edit]

We can enhance our sense of self-continuity through several strategies:

  1. Positive Emotions: Experiencing positive affect broadens our perspective and makes us feel optimistic about the future, which increases present–future self-continuity.[36]
  2. Core Values and Beliefs: We tend to believe that our central moral values will continue into the future and this belief increases our self-continuity.[37]
  3. Metaphorical Thinking: Viewing life as a journey contributes to a cohesive understanding of personal growth and helps us feel more connected between different life stages.[38][39]
  4. Family Legacy: Connecting personal experiences with family history strengthens past-present self-continuity, especially for those following family traditions.[40]
  5. Autobiographical Memory and Reasoning: Creating coherent narratives of life events and extracting meaning from them enhances past–present continuity.[41] Viewing events as interconnected increases global self-continuity because it strengthens the links between our past, present, and future selves.[42]
  6. Nostalgia: Nostalgia increases past–present continuity through fostering state authenticity and social connectedness.[43]
  7. Self-Affirmation: Focusing on valued personal qualities or achievements can buffer against threats to self-continuity, such as social exclusion.[44]

While a strong sense of self-continuity prepares us for challenges like divorce or unemployment,[45][46] we can also use self-continuity strategically to improve our current self-view.

Research shows that individuals distance themselves from unfavorable past selves to feel better about who they are now.[47] For example, students might feel less connected to the times when they received poor grades, which helps them maintain a positive self-image.[48] Individuals with high self-esteem are more likely to criticize their past selves to enhance their present self but become less judgmental when they feel closer to their past selves.[49][50]

Likewise, individuals may distance themselves from potential negative future selves while feeling closer to the positive ones. For instance, students feel more detached from a future self when they failed an exam than when they nailed it.[51] People may also create psychological barriers (e.g., thinking more about upcoming birthdays) to keep themselves from undesirable future selves.[52]

Relevant Brain Regions

[edit]

Social neuroscience has identified key brain areas that support self-continuity with fMRI studies. The research findings suggested that the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) is central to this process. vmPFC, along with the rostral anterior cingulate cortex (rACC), shows activation when individuals evaluate self-relevant versus other-relevant information, indicating that these areas help maintain a sense of continuity across time.[53][54]

Other areas within the anterior cortical midline structures (CMS), including the medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), also are involved in processing self-continuity. Studies show that reflecting on one’s present versus past self engages these regions more strongly than other regions.[55] Furthermore, both the MPFC and PCC are involved in global self-continuity. For instance, as people rated traits across time, these regions responded to the integration of past and future selves, suggesting they are relevant to forming a cohesive self-concept over time.[56]
