STABLE AND DYNAMIC COMPONENTS OF SELF-REPORT SELF-CONCEPT
Abstract:
Principal components analysis of semmbic differential responses of university freshmen to the concepts MY PAST, MY FUTURE, MY REAL SELF, and MY IDEAL SELF on 15 bipolar adjective scales revealed two types of components. Consktency of response to evaluative scales was found within the stimulus concept, with approximate independence across concepts. Descriptive scales showed consisteney across the four concepts and approximate independence from other descriptive scales. Independent analyses by sex produced striking similarilty of component patterns, with a few additional sex specific components appearing. The synnatic findings suggest that phenomenal self consists of phenomenally stable self-descriptions and phenomenally dynamic self-evaluations.
