Public Persona

Orientation

During the investigation of character (PsH4) within the Experience Domain-RL4/PH4, different manifestations of the self were identified as being generated by the need to use individuality. Click on the upper thumbnail at right to see the 5 forms of self.

Using the frameworks in this section, mainly unconsciously but often with full awareness, will unavoidably create for each of us a recognizable identity or social self. This is the basis for what will be taxonomically labeled, a public persona. This persona is identifiable by others in relation to your efforts to succeed at work, in business and in other public settings.

Different social selfs may be developed in other more private contexts
e.g. when on holiday or within a family setting.

Any development and management of your «self» requires thought, and this occurs within the four realms of psychosocial reality (PsH4G4) (see lower thumbnail). It has been evident throughout this satellite that getting ahead in society takes a great deal of thought, mostly within the socio-emotional and intellectual realms.

At the most elemental level, the public personais constituted by ideas-PH4L4, intuitions-PH4L5 and identifications-PH4L6. But where do these elements come from? The answer appears to be that determinants of your public persona are to be found in the requirements for looking out for yourself in society as identified in the previous section.

We can briefly consider why this is the case.

Approach to Analysis

The final framework in the sequence that completes any Q-Arena is the Tree pattern developed from the Groupings in the Structural Hierarchy. In this case, we have determined:

• The Q-Typology (PH'6Q4t): Ways to interact for benefit.
• The Q-Hierarchy (PH'6Q4H): Cooperating for results.
• The Q-Spiral (PH'6Q4C): Ensuring financial security.
• The Q-Spiral-derived Tree (PH'6Q4CHK): Determinants of social standing
• The Q-Spiral Structural Hierarchy (PH'6Q4CsH: Looking out for Yourself.

The task now is to clarify the Q-Spiral Structural Hierarchy Tree (PH'6Q4CsHK, and it is a general principle that the final Tree in a structural hierarchy triplet is the context for the original Tree i.e. social standing. But a more concrete descriptor would be preferable and we may now have it.

In the various Q-arenas of associating (organizations, societal institutions and philosophy schools), the spiral structural hierarchy trees appear to be about participation.

In this Q-arena of governing, the public personais unequivocally about a person's participation in society and conditions social standing. This both validates a general theme and confirms the choice of name.
