Objektbildung

Objektbildung is a term that can refer to several concepts depending on the field of study. In psychology, particularly within object relations theory, it describes the process by which an individual develops internal representations of self and others. These internal representations, or "objects," are formed through early interactions with caregivers and shape how a person perceives and relates to others throughout life. Key aspects of this process include introjection, projection, and splitting.

In programming, objektbildung translates to object creation. This is a fundamental concept in object-oriented programming where a new instance of a class is generated. This instance, known as an object, possesses its own unique state (data) and behavior (methods) defined by its class. The process of objektbildung typically involves allocating memory for the object and initializing its attributes.

In a more general sense, objektbildung can simply mean the formation or creation of an object, whether it's a physical object, a conceptual object, or a digital one. The specific meaning is best understood from the context in which the term is used.
