Talk:Self-schema

Spiritual Self-Schema Therapy?

I am doing some work on Spiritual Self-Schema Therapy and making a page for it. I wouldn't suggest merging the two, but I'm wondering if it could/should be mentioned on this page? Remembertowright (talk) 16:33, 11 December 2014 (UTC)

Gender

Reads like a pamphlet for a gender studies 101 class at a liberal arts college (probably somewhere in Washington or Oregon). Far be it from my place to pass judgment on whomever's pet theorems and/or crusades, but when the main Wikipedia article on gender opens with "Gender is the range of physical, biological, mental and behavioral characteristics pertaining to, and differentiating between, masculinity and femininity. Depending on the context, the term may refer to biological sex (i.e. the state of being male, female or intersex), sex-based social structures (including gender roles and other social roles), or gender identity," it seems rather asinine to open with the (to my ken) extremely controversial statement that gender is a social construct. This stub should be deleted or re-written with more scientifically sound information grounded in common observation.

After reading the article, these are my impressions: 1- The order of the paragraphs in general self-schema seems arbitrary. More organization should be imposed on this section. 2- As long as you've got these other headings in here (e.g., sexual schema and the effect of illness on self-schema), perhaps you should add some content, there. If you feel like these headings aren't sufficiently integral to merit content, then they should be removed. 3- The article seems to lack organization. For instance, I'm unsure why the headings "The Body" and "Gender" are necessary. I think if you started writing this article with a sepcific outline in mind for what you wanted to communicate in the article, it wouldn't be strucutred this same way. If I'm just missing the logic, you can always metaoutline near the outset... 4- Consider rewording the sentence: "They may even feel in that limb sensations from other limbs." 5- You might fold the section on multiple self-schema into the section called "general self-schema." It seems to fit well with the first sentence of that section... Jesserjames (talk) 02:53, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

Stub and wikify

This article needs more explicit reference to the idea of self-schema as referenced by these authors, as well as some internal links. Xantharius (talk) 17:45, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Sexual schema

Seems problematic in its absolutist formulations on how men and women experience self-schemas in regards to sexuality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 155.4.144.109 (talk) 15:06, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
