2021 PSN Conference Presentation
There are experiences in life that can change us forever, in terms of core beliefs and values, eventually leading to the construction of new meaning. Despite anecdotal accounts of transformative change are found in a number of historical biographies and in the popular culture, the psychological process of transformative change has not been systematically investigated. In his talk, Prof. Andrea Gaggioli focuses on transformative experience as a process that allows individuals to explore new spaces of possibilities for thinking, feeling and acting, by providing novel lenses or frames through which understanding themselves and reality. He also discusses the possibilities afforded by emerging “phygital” spaces as a catalyst for personal and transformation.
