It is therefore functionally necessary for every person in society to maintain a mental image of the society and its culture, as well as of his own body
and its behavioral regularities, in order to act in ways which reduce stress at
all levels of the system. The person does, in fact, maintain such an image. This
mental image I have called “the mazeway,” since as a model of the cell-body-
personality-nature-culture-society system or field, organized by the indi-
vidual’s own experience, it includes perceptions of both the maze of physical
objects of the environment (internal and external, human and nonhuman)
and also of the ways in which this maze can be manipulated by the self and
others in order to minimize stress. The mazeway is nature, society, culture,
personality, and body image, as seen by one person. Hallowell (1955) and
Wallace (1955 and 1956) offer extended discussions of the mazeway and the
related concepts of self, world view, and behavioral environment.
