Constructing a Niche for the Self: A Bio-Social, PDPApproach to Understanding Lives.

Viewing selves as negotiating idiosyncratic life niches may be useful in understanding life change. When less resistant self attributes and environmental presses conflict, the self tends to reflect the environment; when more resistant self attributes (e.g., those high in heritability) and environmen...

      ab: Viewing selves as negotiating idiosyncratic life niches may be useful in understanding life change. When less resistant self attributes and environmental presses conflict, the self tends to reflect the environment; when more resistant self attributes (e.g., those high in heritability) and environmental presses conflict, the individual will tend to change his or her personal environment in ways that better afford the expression of those self-attributes. Life niches result from attempts to satisfy simultaneous constraints from self-aspects such as abilities, desires, and temperament, and situational presses and affordances. Parallel distributed processing (PDP) networks appear to be a promising way to represent niche construction.
