INTERIORIZATION [2 records]

Record 1 2011-08-08

English

Subject field(s)
  • Personality Development
CONT

Internalization occurs when objects are "installed" into the ego, such that they are both integral to sense of self and also experienced as separate and concrete internal objects. In this way, the external world is brought into the internal world and incorporated with it. When fully internalized, an item is fully "owned" and considered as normal. This is the process whereby the personality is created. Of the various notions of how we take in the internal world, internalization is one of the highest-level concepts. Incorporation, introjection and identification are three more detailed methods.

CONT

L'intériorisation est [...] un processus fondamental par lequel s'opère une différenciation structurale au sein de la personne, de telle sorte que la qualité de l'organisation intrapsychique dépend de la qualité des premières relations (Meissner, 1981). [...] Les théories psychanalitiques distinguent trois niveaux d'intériorisation : l'incorporation, l'introjection, et l'identification.

En el marco de la teoría objetal de Melanie Klein, en toda prescripción médica realizada con actitud positiva puede producirse en el paciente la internalización de los aspectos buenos de ese acto y una reactivación de los objetos buenos introyectados en la infancia, con la resultante mejoría.

CONT

El término “interiorización” es de empleo frecuente en psicoanálisis. A menudo se toma, especialmente por la escuela kleiniana, en el sentido de introyección, es decir, del paso fantaseado de un objeto “bueno” o “malo”, total o parcial, al interior del sujeto.

Record 2 2011-06-03

English

Subject field(s)
  • Social Psychology
DEF

The incorporation into the self of guiding principles (as values or patterns of culture) through learning or socialization.

CONT

Internalization. In social psychological terms the adoption of attitudes or behavior patterns by an individual. Indeed much of socialization and education is involved with encouraging the individual to internalize the behavioral norms, morals and values of his or her group. A child's behavior is shaped and guided by example, encouragement, rewards and punishments, and hence directed into particular channels by external instruction and intervention. However, as the child develops he or she becomes able to give him or herself these instructions. Full internalization is reached when the behavior takes place not just because it is rewarded or punished, but because it is seen to be correct or appropriate.

DEF

Processus complexe par lequel l'individu fait siennes des données extérieures à lui et les intègre à son système de valeurs et à son comportement.

CONT

Internalisation [...] Processus sociocognitif par lequel les individus assimilent à leur concept de soi, donc sous forme de connaissance de ce qu'ils sont, la valeur ou l'utilité sociale reconnue de leur comportement [...] L'internalisation se réalise à travers la production d'explications internes des renforcements et des comportements, explications auxquelles prédispose la norme sociale d'internalité.

Internalización. A medida que el niño interactúa con su objeto (por ejemplo, la madre), va internalizando la estructura relacional, o sea el vínculo adquiere, además de la dimensión intersubjetiva, otra dimensión intrasubjetiva.

CONT

[…] se habla de interiorización cuando el proceso hace referencia a relaciones. Así, por ejemplo, se dirá que la relación de autoridad entre el padre y el niño se interioriza en la relación entre superyó y yo.
