Agency, Communion, and the Dialogical Self

John Vervaeke, Gregg Henriques and Matthew Schaublin come together for a discussion covering the concept of authenticity. Matthew Schaublin presents findings from two studies, one of which employs a mixed-methods design to examine the interplay between authenticity, agency, and self-transformation through both narrative analysis and psychometric assessment. The findings reveal that authentic experiences are often marked not by internal self-consistency alone, but by themes of communion, deep relational connection, emotional resonance, and shared understanding. This challenges static, individualistic models of the self and instead supports a dialogical conception in which authenticity emerges through interaction and mutual recognition. The conversation also highlights how current psychological frameworks fail to account for the complexity of lived, meaningful experience. Together, Matthew, Gregg, and John propose a more dynamic, relational, and transjective understanding of selfhood and agency. Gregg R. Henriques is an American psychologist. He is a professor for the Combined-Integrated Doctoral Program at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Virginia, US. Matthew Schaublin is a master’s candidate in psychology at the University of Chattanooga, with a four-year research focus on authenticity. His work blends empirical psychology with philosophical and classical inquiry, investigating how dispositional authenticity is expressed and experienced. —- Notes: 0:00 Introduction to the Lectern 0:20 John Gives a Recap of Part One: Autonomy, Authenticity, and the Fragmented Self 2:00 Study Design Explained 3:30 Communion in Transformative Moments 5:00 Data Collection and Analysis 7:00 Agency in Authentic vs. Transformative 10:30 Coding the Self - Agency, Communion, and Authenticity Themes 15:00 Themes of Being Unauthentic 16:30 Henriques on Persona, Ego, and the Influence Matrix 21:00 Philosophical Roots of Authenticity 25:00 The Limits of Reductionism - A Mixed Methods Defense 34:30 The Justification Machine - Interpretation and Cognitive Framing 38:30 Narratives of Agency and Self-Actualization 42:00 Communal Connections and Authenticity 44:30 Intimacy and Affiliation 55:00 Predicting Agency in Narratives 58:30 Statistical Findings - Self-Alienation, Agency, and Thematic Expression 1:02:00 Significant Findings and Interpretations 1:15:00 Concluding Thoughts and Future Directions —-- Connect with a community dedicated to self-discovery and purpose, and gain deeper insights by joining our Patreon.   / johnvervaeke   The Vervaeke Foundation is committed to advancing the scientific pursuit of wisdom and creating a significant impact on the world.
