Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Minnesota, 2004.

The notion that possessions are an integral part of the self-concept has been a long-standing proposition in social psychology (James, 1890), but evidence for this proposition has been largely circumstantial. The primary goal of this dissertation was to provide direct evidence for this self-possession merger hypothesis by examining the implicit associations between the self-concept and possessions. I also speculated that the propensity to merge self and possessions was related to individual differences in self-boundary permeability, the general ease with which individuals incorporate attributes (e.g., close others) into their self-knowledge structure. Finally, I explored the idea that the functions possessions serve (contemplative, recreational, status, utilitarian) would be systematically related to self-possession mergers. Using a modified version of the Implicit Association Test JA-1), the present investigation found evidence for these hypotheses. In Study 1, participants provided photographs of special and non-special possessions, completed a questionnaire describing these possessions, completed a questionnaire assessing self-boundary permeability and related individual differences, and the modified IAT. The modified IAT was designed to assess the implicit associations among the categories ME, NOT ME, MINE, and NOT MINE, and used the possession photographs provided by the participants, photographs of objects not owned by the participants, and trait terms as the stimuli to be categorized. As hypothesized, the implicit associations between possessions and the self-concept were large, relative to objects that were not owned by participants, as reflected in response latencies and error rates in categorization. Most people exhibited strong implicit associations between self and possessions. However, those with orientations that suggest interpersonal alienation did not incorporate possessions into the self. Materialistic tendencies were unrelated to self-possession mergers. The functions possessions served were inconsistently related to self-possession mergers and individual differences. Study 2 ruled out the possibility that these results were due to the semantic properties of the categories used in the IAT (i.e., differential pairings of affirmative and negative categories). Implications of this research for understanding and exploring the relationship between people and their possessions are discussed. The broader applications of the self-boundary permeability concept to diverse psychological domains (identity, interpersonal relationships, and self-processes) are also discussed.
