The Mobilizing function

Mobilizing function socionics

The Mobilizing function, also called referent  is an area of the psyche that regulates a person's actions so that they correspond to the norms accepted in society through self-assessment of behavior.

Information on this function is compared with some internal standard, a system of moral values, to determine "whether this suits me or not."

The reference function tracks how society evaluates your actions.  If negatively, then self-esteem decreases, warning against wrong actions, and if positively, self-esteem rises and activates a person for further actions. Therefore, the function is called "Mobilizing".

This is an unconscious function, a person does not notice that his actions are imitative, he simply does not hesitate to follow his authorities and reacts in the same way as they do.
 

Model A in socionics determines which aspect constitutes the mobilizing function of each personality type.
