The role of motivational dialogue in the identity formation process

Abstract

One of the phases of personality development is the fulfilment of one’s own "I" in the social environment, which is not always favourable. Despite the fact that individuals anchor their behaviour in an organised structure, every person has a chance to define themselves from their own individual point of view. However, with various experiences gained throughout life, they become more and more complicated and diverse. In order to be able to escape the impasse, one needs to revise their current beliefs on reality and start creating their new "own world". A motivational dialogue will positively influence further development through personality revision, stimulation of one’s own potential, and, what follows, determination to introduce changes by pursuing one’s set aim. Emotions and thoughts that guide us in our lives are also a mirror of our relations. They may be regulated in relations with others through a motivational dialogue, for which a word is an essential part, and which has a functional meaning in the organisation of the communication and creation process. In my work, I will discuss the issues connected with a motivational dialogue, which encourages us to verify our current beliefs as well as make us realise our capabilities. A motivational dialogue makes us act, by influencing the shape of our life and personality and contributing to the creation of our new own lifestyle.
