ABSTRACT Several studies have suggested that momentary self-concept clarity (SCC) levels are important for emotion regulation and self-control processes, but these studies have used unvalidated measures of momentary SCC. Here, we report on the development and preliminary validation of a brief self-report scale, the Momentary Self-Concept Clarity Scale (M-SCCS). One hundred and twenty-two adults completed momentary SCC items 6-7 times per day for two weeks. Multilevel factor analyses suggested the M-SCCS has good factorial validity. The scale also showed excellent between-person reliability, fair within-person reliability, and patterns of criterion relations that resemble other self-report measures of SCC. There was little measurement reactivity over time. The M-SCCS may be useful for future experience-sampling studies aimed at uncovering short-term self-regulatory processes involving SCC.

ABSTRACT We present three studies aimed to identify the adaptive properties of self-concept and to develop a brief questionnaire to measure them. In the first study, we identified five basic facets of adaptive self-concept (ASC): clarity, non-ruminative self-awareness, self-distance, openness to self-relevant information, and modifiability of the self-concept. The second study confirmed the five-factor structure of the ASC. In the third study, we tested relationships between ASC’s facets and hedonic, eudaimonic, and social well-being, self-regulation and emotional regulation. We also tested the dependence of the ASC on personality traits. The results showed that ASC features are strongly related to optimal functioning in its various manifestations. ASC’s facets are also moderately dependent on personality traits.

ABSTRACT This study investigated how migration interrupts self-identity processes and the role of future self-perceptions in psychological adaptation. A longitudinal model was tested, in which self-concept clarity mediated the relationship of future self-continuity and positivity with life satisfaction over time. Data were collected three times over a year from 101 adult recent migrants (51.5% female, M age = 28.5, SD age = 8). The model partially supported the mediational hypothesis. Having a more positive attitude toward one’s future self in the host society was associated with increased self-concept clarity six months later, which in turn led to greater life satisfaction another six months later. Findings suggest that migrants who envision a desirable future self in their host environment experience better adaptation outcomes over time.

ABSTRACT Drawing upon risk-regulation theory and classic theories of interpersonal attraction, two experiments (N = 117 and N = 401) tested the hypothesis that self-esteem and arousal interact to regulate the desire to connect with new social partners. A mini-meta-analysis confirmed that when arousal (or its influence) was stronger, self-esteem was strongly and positively associated with connection motivation (d = .53), but when arousal (or its influence) was weaker, self-esteem was unrelated to connection motivation (d = −.05). Furthermore, stronger (vs weaker) arousal decreased lower self-esteem individuals’ connection motivation (d = -.23) but increased higher self-esteem individuals’ connection motivation (d = .36). These results suggest that self-esteem is an important moderator of the link between arousal and social motivation.

ABSTRACT Research on adolescent identity and negative adaptations has progressed considerably in the past few years. A significant body of work casts additional light on the role identity plays in development and how this process is related to negative developmental outcomes. The articles assembled for this Special Issue represent a broad cross-section of studies that help illuminate how identity scholars approach the topic of identity formation conceptually and how they elaborate the psychological mechanisms through which identity influences deviant adaptations. In this commentary, we provide a brief overview of identity and its relations to deviant adaptations. We then highlight the key themes in the articles including a discussion of some of the conceptual and methodological challenges faced by identity researchers.

ABSTRACT The present study examined the association between community service and identity development in middle adolescence. The quantitative component of the study was first conducted to investigate the relationships between service experience and identity status. The qualitative component followed to explore how service change their identities. The findings showed that community service duration differentiated the middle adolescents with more mature identity statuses (e.g., achievement) from those with less mature identity statuses (e.g., diffusion) after students’ gender, grade, attitude toward service and their parents’ service engagement were controlled. This study also revealed that exposure to community service was effective in facilitating adolescents’ identity development in the domains of occupation and lifestyle. High-impact practices were recommended for the future design of service programs.

ABSTRACT Research indicates that identity development is impacted by implicit motives. Because research in non-Western cultures is scarce, a sample from Zambia is examined; moreover, because previous research has exclusively focused on communal motives (n Affiliation), agentic motives (n Power) are taken into account additionally. We hypothesized that implicit motives relate to identity development only when adolescents report positive parenting experiences. Adolescents (N = 407) provided information on implicit motives, perceived parenting quality, and identity in interpersonal and ideological domains. Results indicate that adolescents with positive parenting experiences make more motive-congruent identity commitments and reconsider them less (at least in the interpersonal domain). Findings open up new questions about the universality of the influence of implicit motives on identity development.

ABSTRACT Self-enhancement may exacerbate ingroup favoritism. What if, rather than self-enhancement, individuals focused on enhancing others? Could this reduce prejudice? Three studies tested the impact of self-enhancement versus ‘other-enhancement’ on prejudice. In Study 1 (N=95), a repeated measures design showed that participants demonstrated less implicit bias after reflecting on another person’s positive traits relative to their own. In Study 2 (N=169), participants who reflected on an outgroup strength showed less racism than those who reflected on an ingroup strength and those in a comparison condition. In Study 3 (N=380), other-enhancement negatively linked to racism and sexism, whereas self-enhancement did not. Additionally, Study 3 examined an antecedent of other-enhancement – humility. We discuss the importance of enhancing others in reducing prejudice.

ABSTRACT In the present study, we studied young adults who think work and family are equally and highly central – those with dual-centric work/family identities. Using a mixed-method approach, we explored their characteristics, costs, benefits, and strategies of dual-centric work/family identities. The sample consisted of 124 participants, of which 36 participants (50% female) had dual-centric work/family identities. They reported higher levels of work satisfaction compared to those without dual-centric identities. Thematic analyses of interviews showed intra- and inter-individual costs and benefits. Strategies to handle the dual-centric identities included time management, communication approaches, and cognitive tactics. Thus, dual-centric identities are individual, but also relational as others are part of consequences and strategies. Practical and theoretical implications of dual-centric identities are discussed.
