Abstract

Close partners shape each other's behavioral tendencies, traits, dispositions, skills and values by sculpting one another's selves like a sculptor. Michelangelo Phenomenon suggests that self is shaped by a close partner's affirming perceptions and behavior. This article reviews research on the subject of the "Michelangelo Phenomenon". Partners initially perceive each other's behavior and intention, then respond to each other. As a result of this interaction each person can easily attain or give up the goals included within his or her ideal self. Hence, self movement toward the ideal self is defined as a product of partner's perceptual and behavioral affirmation. Consequently, movement towards the ideal self promotes personal and couple well being. In this study, research findings regarding the model are reviewed and the underlying interpersonal processes are identified.

Özet

Yakın ilişki partnerleri bir heykeltıraş gibi birbilerinin benliklerini etkileyerek, birbirlerinin davranışsal eğilimlerini, kişilik özelliklerini, beceri ve değerlerini biçimlendirirler. Michelangelo olgusu kişinin benliğinin yakın partnerinin algısal ve davranışsal onaylamasıyla nasıl biçimlendiğini açıklamaktadır. Bu makalede "Michelangelo Olgusu" ve ilgili araştırmalar gözden geçirilmektedir. Partnerler öncelikle birbirlerinin davranışlarını ve amaçlarını algılarlar ve buna göre birbirlerine tepki verirler. Bu algı ve davranış doğrultusunda kişi kendi ideal benlik hedeflerine doğru ilerleyebileceği gibi ondan uzaklaşabilir de. Böylece ideal benliğe doğru benlik hareketi partnerin algısal ve davranışsal onayından büyük ölçüde etkilenmektedir. Sonuç olarak, ideal benliğe doğru benlik hareketi hem kişisel mutluluğu hem de çiftler arası mutluluğu arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, modele ilişkin araştırma bulguları incelenmiş ve ilgili kişilerarası süreçler tanımlanmıştır.
