AB - A theory of the self based on 5 cognitive substructures is described in preliminary form. The theory is called epistemogenesis because of reliance on cognitive structures. The substructures are: (1) somatic self, (2) receptor-effector self, (3) primitive construct self, (4) introjecting-extrojecting self, and (5) the social self (role taking). Each self follows a type of developmental sequence, one forming the anlage for the next. 7 postulates underlying the theory are described. The theory as illustrated as a longitudinal sequence with the substructures developing as cross-sectional stages or phases. The theory is described as monistic with no distinction drawn between subjective and objective selves.
