Profiling Authentic Self-Development: Associations With Basic Need Satisfaction in Emerging Adulthood

Abstract

Research on dispositional authenticity has accelerated in recent years. Using the Authenticity Scale and drawing upon Self-Determination Theory, we conducted a Latent Profile Analysis to determine whether two or more distinct classes of authentic self-development were identifiable across separate samples (Ns = 344 and 378) of emerging adults (18–22 year olds). We also tested whether multidimensional perfectionism and attachment insecurity were correlated with the classes of authentic self-development, and examined the association between class membership and levels of psychological need satisfaction and frustration. Our findings supported the presence of a 3-class configuration which we respectively labelled “Consolidated Authenticity,” “Unintegrated Authenticity,” and “Pre-Emergent Authenticity.” This class structure was replicated in a separate, independent sample. Results highlighted relevant variation in authentic self-development across the identified classes and yielded support for our model involving hypothesized influences on, as well as contemporary outcomes associated with, participants’ class membership.

“…Dispositional authenticity was investigated in the dimensions of the problem of self-development, and three types were identified: "consolidated authenticity", "non-integrated authenticity", and "authenticity before emergence". According to the authors' opinion, the proposed types of variations reflected the subjects' current level of self-development (Lopez et al, 2023). T. Ketler-Mytnytska and N. Shevchenko (2022) conducted empirical research to determine the correlation between psychology students' inner character and self-development.…”
