ABSTRACT
The model of Productive Processing of Reality (PPR) stems from interdisciplinary socialisation theory and asks how a human being, with their genetic disposition of drives and needs and their innate temperament and personality traits becomes an independent subject with the ability to cope with cultural, economic and ecological demands and manage to preserve their health. Socialisation describes the process in which the human organism, with its genetic dispositions, develops into a personality capable of social interaction and, in dealing with environmental conditions, continues to develop over the entire life course. The human brain is considered not a passive receptor of sensory impressions and reality information but rather an active player. The confrontation with external and internal reality follows specific conditions, which intensify in the individual stages of life. Following the model of PPR, the successful processing of reality requires the ability to absorb, assess and structure self-related information, which forms the “self-image” through perception and observation of one’s own activities.
