Perception and change of image as a phenomenon of interpersonal relationship

Abstract

In the article, the author’s conception of image as a phenomenon of
interpersonal relationship is represented. Historico-methodological and
theoretical bases of this conception creation are analysed elaborately.
Image itself is showed as a character of the subject created in the
interpersonal relationship due to the cultural symbols. The image bases
itself on the I-conception of subject. There are two plans that are worthy of being noted: the deep plan (image program, described by the concepts of “mission”, “purposes”, and “legends”) and external plan, represented by image-creating symbols (verbal and non-verbal).
Number of research on formation and modelling the person’s image
has proved the conception offered by the author.
