It is precisely because Yin and Yang can represent any pair of opposing and complementary concepts in the universe that they serve as the root logic for the Taiji Model of Self,forming its under-lying structure.However,when applied to the sub-models of the Taiji Model of Self,Yin-Yang think-ing has been adapted to a pair of purely psychological terms.Consequently,this adaption allows for the construction of various subtypes of the Taiji Model of Self that align with Confucianism,Daoism,Buddhism,and other strands of philosophical theories.The Taiji Model of Self has at least three advantages,allowing it to accommodate several representative Chinese self-theories.To enhance the scientific rigor of the Taiji Model of Self,future empirical research should focus on the following three main directions:firstly,to develop a well-validated"Taiji Model of Self Scale";secondly,to utilize the Taiji Model of Self as the theoretical basis for conducting three such types of empirical research as behavioral experiments,qualitative studies,and intervention studies;thirdly,to recognize the pro-found psychological implications within the Taiji Model of Self,which can serve as a guide for various applied research areas,including self-cultivation(moral education),psychological well-being educa-tion,and social governance.
