The article establishes the relationship between the contemplation of internal processes in the deep layers of an individual’s consciousness, the comprehension of the changes occurring within and around them, and the “tuning” of the individual’s behavior towards constructive self‑expression in real activity through the embodiment of the self‑concept they have developed within themselves. The necessity of establishing balanced proportions between experience, scientific knowledge, and the processes and phenomena that individuals internally perceive is substantiated. These processes and phenomena are organically interconnected within a person through an understanding of the feelings, emotions, motivations, and aspirations that arise in individuals, which are integrated into both public and personal consciousness. This integration occurs through the understanding not only of the essence of meanings in the vector of objectification of socio‑economic reality but also through modulated behavioral responses to impulses and signals of various origins. The self-concept is examined in its essential embodiment as a behavioral resource in image formation. The necessity of shaping the interpersonal behavior of subjects in the strategic context of transformations is argued, taking into account the variability of individuals’ adaptive and psychological adjustment. Attention is drawn to the fact that an individual’s behavioral self‑expression should be viewed as the result of the embodiment of their self-concept within the field of socio‑economic interests of a developing society.
