Summary: The project 'Self-concept, emotionality and the realization of human potentials' investigated the relationship between the cognitive self-interpretation system (self-concept, self-esteem, self-consciousness, perception of personal competence, locus of control, attributional style) and human emotions. The starting assumption was that these two sub-systems have been developed simultaneously during the person's life. In the specific constellation of their links they determine the quality of living, realization of one's resources, and the actual behaviour in the real-life. Two basic aims were set: (1) to explore the relationship between the sub-system of cognitive self-interpretations and emotional functioning, and (2) to explore their importance for the human adjustment (efficacy of behaviour, number and the level of psychological problems, creativity, and the realization of one's resources). The authors have published forty three articles in various Croatian and foreign journals and books. The results of this research contribute to the explanation of the above mentioned problems on a theoretical level. A number of different self-assessment measures for children and adults were developed. The results can be applied in the education and counselling as a facilitator of environmental conditions.

Keywords: self-concept, self-esteeem, self-consciousness, perception of competence, locus of control, attributions, sex-roles, emotions, depression, human potentials, creativity

Research goals: The aim of this project was to investigate the relations between the system of cognitive interpretations and emotional experiencing. These two sub-systems are supposed to be the key components of the human psychological functioning, and are the basic factors of human behaviour and general adjustment. They are manifested through efficacy of behaviour, number and the level of psychological problems and creativity. The results of the research showed that the human self-information processing is closely related to emotional functioning. The self-concept system sets the human adjustment and as such has a leading role in the actualization of human potentials.
