Self-projection

How much of who you think you are is really just incorporated projection? -- Andrea Mathews LPC, NCC, Posted April 24, 2013Psychologytoday.com. Self-projection is "the ability to orient the self in different places in time and space."S. Jarvis et al. "August 2017Aging Neuropsychology and Cognition". "Self-projection can be defined as "the character and valence of one's situational, objective, or public self-awareness".R. Ryan, et al, Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, 1991 "Episodic memory, prospection, and theory of mind (ToM) are all cognitive abilities that share an element of self-projection." "When thinking about the future or the upcoming actions of another person, we mentally project ourselves".Buckner et al. "Trends in Cognitive Sciences Volume 11, Issue 2, February 2007, Pages 49-57" People have an awareness of the past and the future through a process described as “mental time travel,” a process reliant on autonoetic consciousness, or the ability to be self-aware (Tulving, 1985). Self-projection, "as expected, was found to be related to trait measures of social anxiety and self-esteem. In addition, specific dimensions of sew-projection were found to predict self-evaluations, emotions, aspects of performance, and memory for the other's speech, as well as subjects' perceptions of the other person in the interaction."
