Abstract

ABSTRACT Several studies have suggested that momentary self-concept clarity (SCC) levels are important for emotion regulation and self-control processes, but these studies have used unvalidated measures of momentary SCC. Here, we report on the development and preliminary validation of a brief self-report scale, the Momentary Self-Concept Clarity Scale (M-SCCS). One hundred and twenty-two adults completed momentary SCC items 6-7 times per day for two weeks. Multilevel factor analyses suggested the M-SCCS has good factorial validity. The scale also showed excellent between-person reliability, fair within-person reliability, and patterns of criterion relations that resemble other self-report measures of SCC. There was little measurement reactivity over time. The M-SCCS may be useful for future experience-sampling studies aimed at uncovering short-term self-regulatory processes involving SCC.

一种测量瞬间自我概念清晰度的量表的开发和初步验证

摘要几项研究表明，瞬间自我概念清晰度（SCC）水平对情绪调节和自我控制过程很重要，但这些研究使用了未经验证的瞬时自我概念清晰度指标。在这里，我们报告了一个简短的自我报告量表，即瞬时自我概念清晰度量表（M-SCCS）的开发和初步验证。122名成年人在两周内每天完成6-7次短暂SCC项目。多因素分析表明M-SCCS具有良好的因子有效性。该量表还显示了优秀的人际可靠性、公平的人际可靠性，以及类似于SCC其他自我报告测量的标准关系模式。随着时间的推移，几乎没有测量反应性。M-SCCS可能有助于未来的经验抽样研究，旨在揭示涉及SCC的短期自我调节过程。

期刊介绍： Work on self and identity has a special place in the study of human nature, as self-concerns are arguably at the center of individuals" striving for well-being and for making sense of one"s life. Life goals develop and are influenced by one"s view of what one is like, the way one would ideally like to be (or would like to avoid being), as well as one"s perceptions of what is feasible. Furthermore, conceptions of self and the world affect how one"s progress towards these goals is monitored, evaluated, redirected, re-evaluated, and pursued again. Thus, the “self” as a construct has far-reaching implications for behavior, self-esteem, motivation, experience of emotions and the world more broadly, and hence for interpersonal relationships, society, and culture.
