Abstract

This study verified the mediating effects of self-esteem and self-concept clarity between separation-individuation and indecisiveness. For this study, the correlation between the separation-individuation, self-esteem, self-concept clarity and indecisiveness of undergraduate students were investigated. After assuming the mediating effects of self-esteem and self-concept clarity between separation-individuation and indecisiveness, the structural equation model validation was conducted. For these purposes, 477 college students (male 150, female 327) were asked to respond to the survey used in this study. All subjects were tested with Frost's Indecisiveness Scale (FIS), Separation-Individuation scale (SIS), Rosenberg Self-Esteem Inventory (RSE), and Self-Concept Clarity Scale (SCC). This study used the SPSS 18.0 program and the AMOS 18.0 program for establishing the analysis of study questions. The results are summarized as follows: First, the study suggested that there was a significant negative correlation between separation-individuation indicating that the more difficult the separation-individuation, the higher the grades and self-esteem, together with separation-individuation and self-concept clarity. There was a significant positive correlation between separation-individuation and indecisiveness, and a significant positive correlation between self-esteem and self-concept clarity. There was also a significant negative correlation between self-esteem and indecisiveness, and significant negative correlation between self-concept clarity and indecisiveness. Second, structural equation modeling analyses supported a structural equation model affecting the self-esteem and self-concept clarity between separation-individuation and indecisiveness. Finally, the clinical implications and limitations of the study were discussed.
