The self-schema is a cognitive structure, which is formed in the process of dealing with personal information. It affects coding, storage and retrieval of individual information relating to itself. Self-schemata stored in memory is not a passive memory representation, rather it is active to construct information and choose the information environment, and decide how to interpret and handle related information. China’s traditional culture attaches great importance to Self-personality, as it is regarded as positive, healthy personality traits and is of protective to mental health. Theoretically, self-personality is consisted of two important aspects:interpersonal self-reliance and personal independence. Individual self-reliance is consisted of personal independence, individual initiative, personal responsibility, personal and flexible individual open five kinds of qualities. Schema is an important part of personality development, personality in turn influence the formation and development of the schema. Previous most research concerning self-schemata focus on the negative self-schemata of personality, and few studies to explore the individual positive of self-schemata personality. In this study, we focus on the effect of personal self-reliance on self-schemata, others schema in memory and attention process.Sixty-nine undergraduate students were participated in the self-reference experiment in order to explore the relationship of individual self-reliance and self-schemata, others schema. The results show that:(1) self-referential processing conditions in the study phase, the higher the individual’s level of personal independence, and its judgment the commendatory smaller the reaction time difference, and commendatory of the authorized amount and the higher the recognition, contrary individual’s personal self-reliance the lower level of its judgment in the derogatory term the smaller the reaction time difference, the derogatory term of accreditation and recognition of the higher. (2) in the stages of learning to others with reference to the processing conditions, the higher the level of independence of the individual, the judge the commendatory reaction time difference is smaller, commendatory of the authorized amount and the higher the acceptance, on the contrary, the lower the individual’s personal self-reliance level, the determine the derogatory term reaction time difference is smaller, the higher the amount recognized on the derogatory term. (3) in the recognition stage, the higher the individual’s level of personal independence, its self-referential conditions commendatory recognition the greater the difference between the correct rate and R response rate difference, that is, the more self-related the commendatory memory effect better. (4) In the learning phase, the higher the level of personal independence of the body, reference to others, under the conditions of commendatory recognition the greater the difference between the correct rate and R response rate difference, that is the others the commendatory memory effect, the betterFrom the perspective of attention, seven-four undergraduate students were participated in the cue-target experiment in order to explore the relationship of individual self-reliance and self-schemata, others schema. The results show that when self-related positive phrases as a clue, the higher the individual’s level of personal independence, the longer the response to target stimuli.Based on memory and attention research, our finding together supports our assumption that the higher the individual personal self-reliance level, the more positive their self-schemata and the schemata of others. Because personal self-reliance individual have positive self and others attentional bias of information coding, and memory, thus they memory and recognize the positive messages about themselves and others more. On the other hand, the result shows that lower individual self-reliance individual not only have a positive self-schema, but also have a negative self-schema. The results show that the individual personal self-lower the level of their self-schemata and the schemata of others are more passive and they memory and recognize themselves and others negative information better.
