“…As a consequence, independentinterdependent self-construals are not seen as a promising mediator of cultural differences in traitedness. Findings on selfmonitoring have been more in line with expectations (Church et al, 2006;Church, Willmore, et al, 2012), and it predicted variability in some, although not all cultures (Church, Anderson-Harumi, et al, 2008;. Dialecticism has shown most consistent results and mediated cultural differences in variability, but was mainly relevant in comparisons with Japan (Church, Alvarez, et al, 2012;Church, Willmore, et al, 2012).…”

“…English and Chen (2007) found similar differences between European and Asian U.S. participants on self-perceptions of personality in specific interpersonal contexts. In a study with a wider selection of cultures, Church, Anderson-Harumi, et al (2008) compared trait ratings across social roles in two individualistic (the United States and Australia) and four collectivistic countries (Japan, Philippines, Malaysia, and Mexico). They found lower cross-role consistency in Japan, but not in the other collectivistic countries.…”

The cross-cultural universality of behavior's consistency and predictability from personality, assumed in trait models though challenged in cultural psychological models, has usually been operationalized in terms of beliefs and perceptions, and assessed using single-instance self-reports. In a multimethod study of actual behavior across a range of situations, we examined predictability and consistency in participants from the more collectivistic Black ethnic group and the more individualistic White group in South Africa. Participants completed personality questionnaires before the behavior measurements. In Study 1, 107 Black and 241 White students kept diaries for 21 days, recording their behaviors and the situations in which they had occurred. In Study 2, 57 Black and 52 White students were video-recorded in 12 situations in laboratory settings, and external observers scored their behaviors. Across both studies, behavior was predicted by personality on average equally well in the 2 groups, and equally well when using trait-adjective- and behavior-based personality measures. The few cultural differences in situational variability were not in line with individualism-collectivism; however, subjective perceptions of variability, operationalized as dialectical beliefs, were more in line with individualism-collectivism: Blacks viewed their behavior as more variable than Whites. We propose drawing a distinction between subjective beliefs and objective behavior in the study of personality and culture. Larger cultural differences can be expected in beliefs and perceptions than in the links between personality and actual behavior. (PsycINFO Database Record

“…In a related vein, new ideas are needed to more thoroughly examine to what extent behavioral consistency bears on perceived authenticity and well-being. Although various approaches to operationalizing behavioral consistency have inconsistently predicted well-being (e.g., Magee et al, 2018;Sherman et al, 2012), most of the work on consistency has focused specifically on traits (e.g., Baird et al, 2006;Church et al, 2008;Furr, 2008;Sherman et al, 2012). Traits may not be the most salient aspects of the true self for people.…”

“…For instance, Fleeson and Wilt (2010) found that individuals behaving in socially valued ways (e.g., highly extraverted and conscientious) feel more authentic regardless of their underlying individual traits. These results are even more troubling considering evidence for the relationship between what seem to be more "objective" measures of authenticity (e.g., indicators of behavioral consistency across social roles or situations) and wellbeing is mixed (Baird, Le, & Lucas, 2006;Campbell, Assanand, & Di Paula, 2003;Church et al, 2008;Donahue, Robins, Roberts, & John, 1993;Human, Biesanz, Finseth, Pierce, & Le, 2014;Magee, Buchtel, Human, Murray, & Biesanz, 2018;Sherman, Nave, & Funder, 2012). How can authenticity be related to positive functioning without empirical evidence of a strong, reliable relationship between these consistency-based measures of authenticity and well-being?…”

A central tenet of many prominent philosophical and psychological traditions is that personal authenticity facilitates psychological well-being. This idea, however, is at odds with numerous perspectives arguing that it is difficult, if not impossible, to really know one's self, or the true self may not even exist. Moreover, empirical findings suggest that reports of authenticity are often contaminated by positively valenced behavior, further potentially undermining the validity of authenticity measures. Despite these concerns, we argue that subjective feelings of authenticity do uniquely contribute to well-being. Specifically, we argue that the relationship between perceived authenticity and well-being may be understood from a social-cognitive lay theory perspective that we label "true-self-as-guide," that suggests people use these feelings of authenticity as a cue to evaluate whether they are living up to a shared cultural value of what it means to live a good life. We end with a call for future research on the antecedents of perceived authenticity, boundary conditions for the consequences of personal authenticity, and discuss cultural differences in true-self-as-guide lay theories.

“…In one study, for example, Church et al (2008) had respondents in six different cultures (United States, Australia, Mexico, Japan, Malaysia, and the Philippines) complete trait ratings of themselves across various roles, along with various measures of well-being. Key findings of this study were that the index of cross-role consistency predicted facets of well-being across all six cultures but most strongly among U.S. respondents and least robustly among Japanese respondents.…”

Authenticity in Context: Being True to Working Selves

The core premise of this article is that it is scientifically informative and psychologically meaningful to conceptualize and assess authenticity in context. I begin by providing some theoretical background on the nature of the self-concept, highlighting how the self-concept is composed of a collection of selves, with different selves activated and therefore at play in different contexts. This basic fact, that the self-concept is both multifaceted and malleable, implies that authenticity is a construct that requires study at a contextual level. I illustrate this by reviewing theory and findings from 3 areas of research, incorporating studies from my laboratory throughout. These areas are (a) authenticity in the context of close relationships; (b) authenticity in hierarchical contexts, wherein one occupies a lower versus higher position of social power; and (c) authenticity in relation to the larger cultural context. Finally, I address a number of issues and questions that arise when considering authenticity in context and propose a number of directions for future research on the context-specific nature of authenticity.
