Self-focused attention refers to one's own thoughts, feelings, behaviors, and appearance. It has been considered to be related to the adaptive index as well as the maladaptive one. The purpose of this study is to develop the Scale for Dispositional Self-focused Attention in Social situation(SDSAS) which distinguishes two types of self-focused attention and to examine its reliability and validity. The SDSAS aims to measure the dispositional self-focused attention in social situation and consists of two subscales: “General Self-focused Attention”, which measures the degree of attention that an individual pays to the self and “Self-Absorption”, which measures the tendency of giving excessive attention to one's specific aspects constantly and having difficulty turning his attention to other aspects or external environment the tendency of self-absorption. Among high scorers on the general self-focused attention scale, those who also show high score on the self-absorption scale constitute defensive self-focused attention group and those who show low score on the self-absorption scale constitute nondefensive self-focused attention group. A pool of preliminary items were administered to 311 undergraduates, and the SDSAS with 30 items was constructed using factor analyses on the data. To examine its reliability and validity, the SDSAS was administered to 525 undergraduates. The SDSAS appeared to have adequate internal consistency and test-retest reliability. The construct validity of the scale was supported by the pattern of correlations between the SDSAS and measures of related characteristics. Two types of dispositional self-focused attention that differed qualitatively could be differentiated by means of SDSAS. Additionally, the implications of this study were discussed.
