Document Summary
Concrete attributes - more in attitudes (global evaluation of everything) More differentiated (hold multiple perspective in different situation) Harter and monsour (1992): identify the conflict (self across different context) bwtn the list of attributed depends on context - abel to notice the discrepancy. Early (12-13) - no worries/ notice the conflict. Higher-order ideas (the broader general trait in a situation) Depends on the abstract thinking, allows for construction of possible selves (who could i be?) Goals setting -> motivation to reduce the distance of who i want to be and how i am now. Feeling of fear -> motivated to avoid being the feared self. Allows for distinction between actual self ( who am i? ) and possible/odd selves ( who could i be? ) Link to depression (feeling of authentic vs feeling of depression - hiding emotion by using depression/ feeling depress cannot reflect who you really are)
