Spanish to English Other Psychology
I wonder if there is a singel term in English for 'mi' as opposed to 'yo' which would be the 'self' ...

La experiencia emocional envuelve la evaluación e interpretación de un estado interno, del contexto y del estímulo inmediato. Ella representa el aspecto más cognoscitivo y aprendido de todo el proceso emocional y requiere, según Lewis, además de las habilidades cognoscitivas antes señaladas, el desarrollo de la conciencia o del mi, es decir, poder reconocer que algo me pasa y poderlo interpretar. Los cambios corporales son estímulos internos localizados dentro del cuerpo, una localización que implica el mi. La evaluación de estos cambios exige habilidades cognoscitivas, así como también la noción de un agente que hace la evaluación. En otros términos, requiere un yo y un mi.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

PRO (1): Marina Soldati

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

me versus I

Me, the being to whom things happen; I, the cognitive self that evaluates the things that happen to 'me.'

Just another way to phrase it.

In a being without cognitive self, there may only be a me... the I identifies those experiences.
Peer comment(s):

agree Jan Castillo : O.k. Let's see here: the ego is the "yo" and it is the mediator for the ello and the superyo. It would be considered active. So I would agree with silvia that the me is passive, receiving the action as opposed to being the instigator of action. Me thinks
