Is it true that if I-positions change, the motor behavior of the individual noticeably changes as well, as the dialogical self theory predicts? Two experimental studies have been conducted to evaluate the effects of shifting from one I-position to another on motor behavior. The first experiment showed that people with different I-positions activated (I-as-a-child, I-as-an-elderly-person and I-as-an-adult) present different levels of motor activity while sitting on a swivel chair and having their bodiesâ motor activity recorded. In the second experiment, participants were consecutively primed with two different or two same I-positions. Results showed that the activation of two different I-positions caused motor activity to change to a higher extent in comparison to a control condition where two same I-positions were activated one after another. In both experiments the differences were observed for both accelerometry measures and video recording measures. The findings are congruent with the dialogical self theory: peopleâs motor activity is dependent on the currently active I-position
