Personality Tests: Self-Disclosures or Self-Presentations?
نویسنده
چکیده
This study investigates whether objective self-report measures of personality are better regarded as sources of factual information about the self (i.e., as self-disclosures), or as ways to instruct others about how one is to be regarded (i.e., as self-presentations). The two per spectives were compared by testing the unique, divergent predictions each made about the kinds of personality variables associated with consistency in self-description. For three groups of subjects (ISS normal adults, 69 murderers, and 47 college students) almost all of the "self-presentation variables" were correlated significantly with consistency, while none of the "self-disclosure variables" was correlated with the criterion. Limitations of the study are discussed. Presented at the 88th Annual Convention of the American Psychological Association, September, 1980, Montreal, Canada. Self-Disclosure & Self-Presentation
