Self-Complexity and Self-Concept Differentiation – What Have We Been Measuring for the Past 30 Years?

Abstract: Research on the relation between the structure of the self-concept and psychological well-being has yielded seemingly inconsistent and even conflicting results. This article presents studies that examined the validity of often-used measures of self-complexity and self-concept differentiation and tested their ability to predict personal identity and active cognitive processing. The findings revealed several conceptual and methodological problems that continue to plague self-structure research, including the con… Show more

“…Contrary suggestions are found in sociological and psychological studies on the relations between the multiplicity of roles and well-being (Ahrens & Ryff, 2006;Thoits, 2003). Yet, a series of studies conducted over a few years under Pilarska's and Suchańska's guidance (Pilarska & Suchańska, 2013, 2014, 2015Suchańska & Ligocka, 2011, Suchańska & Worach, 2013 shows that the associations between self-complexity and identity characteristics are at best limited and/or nonsystematic, and seem to argue a relative independence of these two areas of personality. The discrepancies signaled above continue to fuel the debate on the relations between self-complexity and the experience of identity, as well as on the functionality of the structural characteristics of the self in general.…”

“…Przeciwne sugestie płyną ze studiów socjologiczno--psychologicznych nad związkami wielości ról z dobrostanem (Ahrens i Ryff, 2006;Thoits, 2003). Z kolei kilkuletni cykl badań realizowanych pod kierunkiem Pilarskiej i Suchańskiej (Pilarska i Suchańska, 2013, 2014, 2015Suchańska i Ligocka, 2011, Suchańska i Worach, 2013 pokazuje, że powiązania złożoności Ja i charakterystyk tożsamości mają w najlepszym wypadku ograniczony i/lub niesystematyczny charakter, oraz wydaje się przemawiać za względną niezależ-nością obu obszarów osobowości. Wskazane rozbieżności podtrzymują dyskusję nad relacjami między złożonością Ja a doświadczaniem tożsamości, jak również nad funkcjonalnością strukturalnych właściwości Ja w ogóle.…”
