Abstract EN:

The ain of this work is to analyse the regulative effect of the writing of a private diary in the unification of the person. The calling into play of behaviours aimed at constructing the person with a process of personalization underlying them expresses self-assertion, the search for an identity, the wish to become someone different and to live differently. After a recall about the evolution of the "private diary" from the historical point of view, come a definition of that piece of writing and a presentation of the research done on the subject matter up to now. This first part entitled "the circumstances for the writing of a private diary", in which we deal with the conditions according to which that piece of writing contributes to the processes of personalization, is followed by a second part about the experimental schema. In that part, we present the hypotheses, the variables, the methods and the investigation techniques that have been used. A third part reveals the results about the analysis of the attitude that can be called "the writing of a private diary", and the consequences that they will have.
