Similarity Self/Ideal Index (SSI): A Feature-Based Approach to Modeling Psychological Well-Being

2025-12-01

Abstract excerpt

This paper introduces a similarity index aimed at modeling psychological well-being through a set-theoretic formalization of self-ideal alignment. Inspired by Tversky’s feature-based model of similarity, the proposed index quantifies the degree of overlap and divergence between the current self-perception and the ideal self, each represented as a vector of signed attributes. The formulation extends traditional app...
