Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine whether private self-consciousness predicted self-concept clarity. Gender and cognitive flexibility were hypothesized as factors that moderate this process. Hierarchical multiple regression analysis revealed a interaction effect of private gender×cognitive flexibility on the relationship between private self-consciousness and self-concept clarity. Incontrast to the hypothesis, there was no significant effect of private self-consciousness×gender. ANOVA analysis revealed that males with strong private self-consciousness showed an increase in self-concept clarity when cognitive flexibility was high. Implications of these results, the differences between males and females, and suggestions for future studies are discussed.
