worldview

The modern psychological name Jiang gives to the soul: a person's sense of identity, origin, place in the universe, and basis for action.

The organized identity or personality through which a person perceives the world, makes decisions, and imagines the future.

A person's identity, self-perception, and world-perception that guides decisions, relationships, and behavior.

The filter that decides which experiences become memory and forms a person's personality or orientation to the world.
