Self-Actualization, Openness, and Loosely Coupled Systems

Jerome J. Tobacyk

Box 10048, Behavioral Sciences, Louisiana Tech, Ruston, LA 71272.

This article presents a definitional and theoretical critique of Mittelman's notion of openness. An alternative conceptualization of self-actualizers as exemplars of loosely coupled personality systems is introduced. This loosely coupled personality system notion allows for a dialectical model of self-actualizers that might resolve seeming personality dichotomies, such as concurtently high levels of both openness and closedness.
