La influencia de la situación y el entrevistador en la expresión de la identidad personal

This article focuses on the personal identity expressed through open answers via the TST (Twenty Statements Test) and corroborates the high influence of the situation and the interviewer in self-definitions. Summing up to 2,591 subjects, two different samples have been extracted, to which this instrument has been applied in homes, through an interviewer and through computer application. The analysis compares the responses in number of sentences and in three indicators: subjectivity of the sentences, group anchorage with which the individual is identified in its definition, and attribution or traits with which the subjects are defined using three indicators: subjectivity, anchorage and individualization. It is concluded that the situation and the interviewer have a high influence on the subjectivity of the answers, while the age of those who define themselves, has a positive influence on the anchorage and negative on the attribution in consonance with the theses of individuation.
