A Meta-Individual World Theory as an Integrative Trend in Personality Studies | Chapter 6 | Current Progress in Arts and Social Studies Research Vol. 7

Aims: The aim of the study is to establish the foundations, composition and structure of the meta-individual world as a kind of integrative theory in personality studies.

Place and Duration of Study: The study was organized at Perm State Institute of Culture, Russia, between April 2023 and November 2024.

Results: The integral theory of individuality developed by Wolf Merlin, a dual-system model. The meta-individual world theory is presented and described in this study. The term 'meta' has epistemic and ontological meanings. From an epistemic point of view, the meta implies both integral individuality and an outside world behind it. On the ontological level, the meta-individual world is concerned with everyday life. The integral individuality and its close social settings are considered System 1 and System 2, respectively. They influence each other so that a subsystem of one system appears in the other. Then, each system possesses dual qualities. One is “native” and another quality appears from the other system. This means each system is both recipient and hybrid. This explains how Systems 1 and 2 intersect. It is noted that Systems 1 and 2 have distinct variables. So, there is no logical contradiction between the systems. Duality and complementarity of the meta-individual world are examined. They serve as a basis for a structuralist account in which the multi-dimensionality of the meta-individual world emerges. They are domains and sub-domains. Individuality and social setting are present in each sub-domain but their composition, relations and interactions differ. To clarify, these sub-domains have received the following names: “authorship”, “possession”, “perspective-taking”, and “relatedness”. The sub-domains connect with each other and provide the integration of the meta-individual world. Attention is drawn to some perspectives, making further progress. Hereby, implications and limitations are supplemented.

Conclusion: The results of the study of the meta-individual world have been summarized and further research has been outlined.

This unit investigated the dynamic friendship between different direct investment and trade in Nigeria’s non-lubricate sector between 1981 and 2015. Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has long happened a burning topic of excellent interest and debate in several savings around the world. In the research, there are many reasons as to reason FDI has become a much-reviewed topic of interest by scholars and procedure makers. Our empirical results displayed a significant complementary connection between Nigeria's private non-oil FDI stock and non-oil exports. Meanwhile, no connection was observed between ingoing non-oil FDI stock and non-lubricate import and non-oil total profession. The study adopted the Multinational Enterprise Theory. The theory engaged to address the apparent inadequacy of the approximate advantage foundation in explaining trade and different investment and concentrate on the organize of innovation, belongings of economies of scale, and, to some extent, the part of uncertainty. In order to accomplish this, private FDI stock in Nigeria's non-oil industry complements the subdivision's exports, hence growing non-oil exports automatically. We likewise found that, particularly over the temporary, economic happening strengthened the complimentary link middle from two points inward FDI stock in the non-oil area and aggregated and disaggregated trade versification.  Therefore, appropriate inward FDI stock is necessary to boost the export performance of Nigeria’s non-lubricate sector, which would help transform the fiscal income and foreign exchange sources external the traditional oil and vapor sector.
