Self-Discrepancy Theory

18.3K
One influential perspective on what motivates people's behavior is detailed in Tory Higgin's self-discrepancy theory (Higgins, 1987). He proposed that people hold disagreeing internal representations of themselves that lead to different emotional states.

Self-Presentation: Self-Monitoring and Self-Handicapping

People can go to great lengths to protect their self-image and present themselves in ways that they want others to see them. Sociologist Erving Goffman presented the idea that a person is like an actor on a stage. Calling his theory dramaturgy, Goffman believed that we use “impression management” to present ourselves to others as we hope to be perceived. Each situation is a new scene, and individuals perform different roles depending on who is present (Goffman, 1959). Think about...

Self-Report Tests of Personality

Self-report inventories are objective personality assessments that use multiple-choice items or numbered scales, typically ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). They are often called Likert scales after Rensis Likert. These inventories are widely used due to their ease of administration and cost-effectiveness. One of the most prominent examples is the Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI), initially developed in the 1940s to assess abnormal personality traits.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Self-regulation research
  • Personal goal pursuit

Background:

  • Goal realization is a key adaptive personal characteristic.
  • It involves engaging in goal-directed behavior for progress.
  • This paper introduces the Daily Goal Realization Scale (DGRS).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To design and validate the Daily Goal Realization Scale (DGRS).
  • To assess its factorial structure, reliability, and validity.
  • To establish DGRS as a measure of daily goal realization.

Main Methods:

  • Three studies were conducted: item development (Study 1), intensive longitudinal data collection (Study 2), and multiple goal evaluation (Study 3).
  • Multilevel confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the scale's structure.
  • Reliability and validity were assessed through associations with other goal evaluations.

Main Results:

  • The DGRS demonstrated a robust unidimensional structure at both individual and goal levels.
  • The scale showed strong positive correlations with progress, engagement, success likelihood, and goal importance.
  • Measurement invariance was confirmed, allowing for gender comparisons.

Conclusions:

  • The DGRS is a brief, reliable, and idiographic measure of daily goal realization.
  • It possesses excellent internal consistency and good criterion validity.
  • The scale is suitable for research on personal goal attainment and adaptive characteristics.
