Abstract

This article presents problem of relationship between the contents and forms of selfawareness and self-concentration in a mood manipulation. In a first part of article the author deals the orginal conception created by Zbigniew Zaborowski. Step by step he presents contents and forms theory of self-awareness (on abbreviated as CF theory). The CF theory bases on two important nations, namely: content and form. The contents of consciousness are coded and processed through the use of specific forms. The contents and forms self-awareness function in a dynamical and holistic way. The functional character of the CF theory has to be viewed in relation to self- concentration in a mood manipulation. This research examined the influence of both sad and happy mood, relative to neutral mood, on self-focussed attention. The results of the studies indicate to the positive correlation between the ixternal contens and self-focussed attention and the positive correlation between the defensive form and selfconcentration and self-focussed attention. The author hope that future research will be continued.
