Meanwhile, postmodernism understands in a different way than psychologists the basic concepts and mechanisms that allow explaining the relationship between the self and consumption. The aim of this article is to relate the basic statements of postmodernists on the self-creating by consumption of individual living in a postmodern society to the achievements of psychology, and in particular to the psychological understanding of the notion of the self and to the psychological theories and results of research explaining the relationship between the self and consumption. The article describes the definition of identity and lifestyle among postmodernists and presents how, in their opinion, the consumption of goods in postmodern society influences the formation of (unstable) identity. It was then described how identity is defined in psychology in the context of related concepts. The following parts of the article describe selected theoretical models describing the mechanisms of creating the self with the use of consumption and present the results of research testing these models. At the end of the article, conclusions were drawn from the comparison of<br>the approach to the relationship between the self and the consumption of postmodernists to the approach of psychologists.</p>}, journal={Człowiek i Społeczeństwo}, author={Drążkowski, Dariusz}, year={2018}, month={mar.}, pages={199–216} }
