Figure 8

Two examples of state space grids from our data portraying the time series for self-esteem attractor expression (-axis) against the time series for state self-esteem (-axis). The lines indicate direction of movement between events, and circles indicate duration of events. (a) Illustrates an individual with a high level of self-esteem attractor constraint, while (b) illustrates an individual with a low level of self-esteem attractor constraint.
