“…Trait authenticity is related not only to one's own well-being but carries over into interactions with others. Indeed, evidence indicates that trait authenticity is associated with relationship-serving goals and strategies (Tou, Baker, Hadden, & Lin, 2015), acts as a buffer against the negative effects of interpersonal conflict (Wickham, Williamson, Beard, Kobayashi, & Hirst, 2016), and is associated with more positive interactions with others (Baker, Tou, Bryan, & Knee, 2017) and relationship outcomes (Brunell et al, 2010).…”

Authenticity entails autonomy, congruence, and genuineness. In this article, we use a self-determination theory framework to discuss a critical aspect of social environments that facilitates these aspects of authenticity, namely the experience of autonomy support. Although authenticity is often studied as a trait or individual difference, we review research demonstrating that authenticity varies within individuals and predicts variations in well-being. Next, we show that perceiving autonomy support within a relational context is associated with people feeling more authentic and more like their ideal selves and displaying constellations of Big 5 personality traits indicative of greater wellness in that context. To explore another important part of authenticity, being genuine in interactions with others, we review evidence linking autonomy support to situational variation in identity disclosure among lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals. This research suggests that perceiving autonomy support within a context or relationship helps lesbian, gay, and bisexual individuals be more open about their sexual orientation and identity, which in turn affords greater opportunities for the satisfaction of not only autonomy, but competence and relatedness needs as well, facilitating well-being. We conclude by highlighting future directions in the study of authenticity's dynamic nature, and the importance of the situation in its expression and its relation to well-being.

“…These early findings have been replicated and extended in a number of ways. For instance, people high in subjective true self-awareness report greater daily satisfaction with their lives and are protected from the negative longitudinal effects of daily interpersonal conflicts on well-being (Wickham, Williamson, Beard, Kobayashi, & Hirst, 2016). Higher levels of subjective true self-awareness also relate to greater daily satisfaction of basic psychological needs (Heppner et al, 2008), greater reports of viewing life as meaningful (Schlegel, Hicks, King, & Arndt, 2011), and, consistent with Rousseau's theorizing about the link between self-alienation and morality, greater levels of honesty in a laboratory context (Gino, Norton, & Ariely, 2010).…”

Varieties of Conscious Experience and the Subjective Awareness of One’s “True” Self

The subjective awareness of one's true self is considered a fundamental aspect of authenticity. It is theorized to reflect an experienced disconnect between one's conscious awareness and actual experiences. In this brief review, I describe some of the early theorizing on the construct and the research that this theorizing has inspired. I then review an emerging direction of research specifically focused on the relationship between subjective feelings of being disconnected from one's true self and tendencies to become mentally detached from present experience (i.e., mindwandering). This work offers new insights into the nature of subjective true self-awareness; it elucidates for the first time how disruptions to people's ongoing mental connection to present experience relate to the experience of true self-awareness and it invites theorizing about aspects of authenticity in ways that do not require evaluations of a self-concept. I end the review by speculating on how this work might inspire new empirical and theoretical directions in the psychological study of authenticity and feelings of true self-awareness.

“…Social relationship plays an important role in influencing depression [11][12][13]. As a negative experience in social relation, bullying victimization was found to be closely associated with depression, and both cross-sectional and longitudinal research indicated that individuals who had experienced bullying victimization or were being bullied, were more vulnerable to depression [14][15][16].…”

The objective of this study was to examine the mechanisms (the mediating role of psychological security and the moderating role of growth mindset) underlying the association between cyberbullying victimization and depression among adolescents. A sample of 755 adolescents (Mage = 13.35 ± 1.02; 373 boys) was recruited from two junior high schools, and the participants were asked to voluntarily complete a set of measures, including the cyberbullying victimization subscale in the Chinese version of the Cyberbullying Inventory, the Chinese version of the Security Questionnaire, the Chinese version of the Center for Epidemiologic Studies Depression Scale, and the Growth Mindset Inventory. The results indicated that: (1) cyberbullying victimization was positively associated with depression through the mediating effect of psychological security and (2) both the direct association between cyberbullying victimization and depression and the indirect association through the mediating effect of psychological security were moderated by growth mindset. Specifically, growth mindset could significantly alleviate the adverse effects of cyberbullying victimization on psychological security and on depression. These findings not only shed light on the mechanisms linking cyberbullying victimization to depression among adolescents, but also provide an empirical basis for formulating prevention and/or intervention programs aimed at reducing depression levels and the negative influences of cyberbullying victimization among adolescents.
