The authentic personality: A theoretical and empirical conceptualization and the development of the Authenticity Scale.

Abstract: This article describes the development of a measure of dispositional authenticity and tests whether authenticity is related to well-being, as predicted by several counseling psychology perspectives. Scales were designed to measure a tripartite conception of authenticity, comprising self-alienation, authentic living, and accepting external influence, which was supported with exploratory factor analysis. Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis showed that the factor loadings were invariant across sample, ethnici… Show more

“…The IAS comprises two subscales to assess the two dimensions of authenticity: authentic self-awareness (ASA) and authentic self-expression (ASE). The four items for each subscale (sample item ASA: "For better or worse, I know who I really am"; sample item ASE: "I always stand by what I believe in") were adapted from the Authenticity Inventory 3 (Kernis & Goldman, 2006) and from the Authenticity Scale (Wood et al, 2008).…”

“…This understanding of self via authenticity theory is grounded in a modern/essentialist view of the self (Vitz & Felch, 2006) that reflects such concepts as core self (Rogers, 1961;Stern, 1985), true self (Winnicott, 1965), real self (Masterson, 1985(Masterson, , 1988(Masterson, , 2005, self-actualisation (Maslow, 1968), self-determination (Deci & Ryan, 1985), self-made man (Vitz, 2006), hyphenated self (Jeroncic, 2008), unified ego (Lacan, 2001), weak-self integration (Moltmann, 1976), and renaissance man (Vitz, 2006). Wood, Linley, Maltby, Baliousis, and Joseph (2008) have discussed authenticity as the congruity between three inter-related self-components: a person's primary experience, symbolised awareness, and outward behaviour/communication. They came to this conclusion based on Barrett-Lennard's (1998) earlier conceptualisation of authenticity as the quality of expressing a congruity between a person's primary experience, symbolised awareness, and outward behavioural expressions which facilitate authenticity at a particular state (Davis, 2010;Kernis & Goldman, 2006;Wood et al, 2008).…”

“…An attractive approach would be to choose the cheapest therapy . Alternatively, other outcomes could be studied such as authenticity (Wood et al 2008) ; there is suggestion that whilst therapies are equivalent on the outcome of the presenting problem, CBT may outpace humanistic therapy on cognitive exploration, but underperform on affective exploration and insight (Shechtman & Pastor, 2005) -thus superiority, equivalence, or inferiority may be outcome specific (Joseph & Wood, in press).…”
