Abstract:
The perception of one’s own identity is one of the basic moments of a
personality construct as they relate to how people act; perceive the world around and with what social they identify themselves. While immersed in an alien culture
these perceptions transform. The authors aimed to examine differences in selfimages of the Russian-speaking emigrants before and after emigration. Our
hypothesis implies significant differences in self-image upon immersing in another cultural environment. The objective we set resides in identifying aspects of selfimage
exposed to transformations and the degree of these changes. For data accumulating before and after the process of international migration with a period of
14 months, we exploited M. Kuhn and T. McPartland’s test “Who am I?” The data demonstrated statistically significant differences in the respondents’ self –image in
the course of adaptation. The results allow us to conclude that with a changing social situation self-perception also most alternations exhibit those aspects of selfimage
through which the respondents interacted with a host-country population. We believe that self-image presents a hierarchically organized, complex, and
dynamic structure with the core and the periphery. The components of self-image can rebuild itself in response to a situation of social interaction.
