If the human mind is split to parts that manage overt appearances, and parts that manage covert strategies, which parts do you think more control our personalities? Yup, personalities are closer to overt appearances:
The question is whether construal level theory implies this alignment. You wrote, "If the human mind is split to parts that manage overt appearances, and parts that manage covert strategies."
Appearances are near and strategies are far (certainly): strategies are both more abstract and more future-oriented than appearances.
Would you describe the emergence of higher order thinking through simultanization of left and right hemisphere functions? Like a parallel coupling of brain functions with emergent qualia over time and in time.
Near-far is great like that. You can come up with arguments to make just about anything seem either near or far, depending on what you want it to be today.
Left is overt; right is covert. Overt is near; covert is far. So, left is near; right is far.
But near is concrete; far is abstract. The right hemisphere engages in concrete, spatial perception, whereas the left hemisphere in abstract, propositional reasoning. So, right is near; left is far.
Personality Is Overt
The core is the core is the core.
Oops. It's actually the other way around to what I said above. You're quite right Douglas, sorry Stephen.
You can indeed match up construal theory to what Robin is saying, but basically:
overt=farcovert=near
(just switch my references to 'covert' and 'overt' in my above post).
No, it's pretty clear that 'overt' is near.
Covert is concerned with appearances/social reality/communication I(Gryffindor, Hufflepuff), so it's far.
Overt is concerned with plotting and getting tasks done (Slytherin/Ravenclaw) so it's near.
Just stick to 'Harry Potter' to work all this stuff out and you won't go wrong ;)

If anything, you usually say that near is covert.

I never said overt is near, and this post says nothing about near-far.
