| Spiritual Self | I felt embarrassed about preliminary assumptions. I value my ability
to be fair and open-minded. I love reading psychology books and respect the author's opinions, theories, etc. | My perception of the idea that the author presented was
distorted. Theories presented in the book more often than not are good explanations of behavior. | I assumed that the author did not understand the point that she
brushed off as "simple-minded." I assumed the validity of this generalized theory. |
| Reflective Self | I like being ontop of things and being in control of myself. I am partial to the architectural circle, and haphazardly defend what pertains to it. I am trying to find ways that the text theories fit into my behavior. | I was relieved when I came upon a main or familiar street because I
didn't feel so disoriented. One can shut the rest of the world out when retreating to his house if he regards it as a sanctuary (physical privacy----->psychological privacy). I am overloading my mind with activities, obligations that my adaptation to this is to forget little things quickly. | Trying to associate this passage with my experience (trying to find a
short street in "one-way" Waikiki). The author is too one-sided and does not give full credit to what she calls "simple-minded." This passage is important because it relates to a problem I have. |
| Automatic Self | Drive to associate my experience with other's. Trying to be more analytical and critical about what I read. Satisfaction in knowing that I could have found an explanation to my problem of forgetfulness. | The author's suggestion of "disorientation", "terror", and
"anxiety" The author talks about windows and site lines being simple-minded privacy mechanisms. Reading on the concept of overload leading to adaptation. | "I know what this feels like" "I do not completely agree with the viewpoint of the author in this section". "I cannot remember things as easily" |
