Abstract
Background: Evaluative compartmentalization is the tendency to segregate positively and negatively valenced self-beliefs into separate self-aspects. This study examined whether there were differences in reflection and personal growth based on the level of evaluative compartmentalization and differential importance.Methods: A total of 296 undergraduate and graduate students reported self-aspect test, and answered questions about reflection and personal growth via online surveys. The participants were divided based on the level (high or low) of evaluative compartmentalization and differential importance. The effects of evaluative compartmentalization and differential importance on the dependent variables were examined. The data were analyzed using two-way multivariate analysis of covariance (two-way MANCOVA).Results: The main effect of evaluative compartmentalization was significant for reflection and personal growth. The main effect of differential importance was significant for personal growth. The interaction effect of evaluative compartmentalization and differential importance was insignificant for any dependent variable.Conclusions: The findings suggest a need for intervention for integrating self-concept structure and improving differential importance for graduate and undergraduate students.
期刊介绍:
The journal Stress aims to provide scientists involved in stress research with the possibility of reading a more integrated view of the field. Peer reviewed papers, invited reviews and short communications will deal with interdisciplinary aspects of stress in terms of: the mechanisms of stressful stimulation, including within and between individuals; the physiological and behavioural responses to stress, and their regulation, in both the short and long term; adaptive mechanisms, coping strategies and the pathological consequences of stress.
Stress will publish the latest developments in physiology, neurobiology, molecular biology, genetics research, immunology, and behavioural studies as they impact on the understanding of stress and its adverse consequences and their amelioration.
Specific approaches may include transgenic/knockout animals, developmental/programming studies, electrophysiology, histochemistry, neurochemistry, neuropharmacology, neuroanatomy, neuroimaging, endocrinology, autonomic physiology, immunology, chronic pain, ethological and other behavioural studies and clinical measures.
