Self-Discrepancy: Long Term Test-Retest Reliability and Test-Criterion Predictive Validity

摘要: Long-term test-retest reliability and predictive test-criterion evidence of validity scores on measures the real-ideal self-discrepancy real-ought were tested over periods 1 year 3 years. A sample 184 undergraduates completed at 2 time points apart instruments that each measure self-discrepancies: idiographic Self-Concept Questionnaire-Personal Constructs, nonidiographic Questionnaire-Conventional content-free Abstract Measures. separate 141 years apart. Both samples depression anxiety second point. Results analyses using latent variables modeled with observed showed substantial statistically significant reliabilities prediction discrepancy both periods. for 1-year 3-year all measures, as well except abstract in predicting least measure. The findings support very strong long-term stabilities personality constructs their associations depression.
