自己概念の多面性と精神的健康との関係──女子大学生を対象とした調査──

Abstract

This study examined the relationship between self-concept variability and psychological well-being. We hypothesized that the meaning of interpersonal relationships moderated the effect of self-concept variability on psychological well-being. Participants were 152 female undergraduate students, who completed a questionnaire about their self-concept variability, psychological well-being (depression/anxiety), and the meaning of interpersonal relationships. The results showed that subjective self-concept variability was positively correlated with psychological well-being, although self-concept differentiation was not correlated with psychological well-being. The correlation between the degree of self-concept variability and psychological well-being was affected by the meaning of interpersonal relationships. The results suggest that the meaning of interpersonal relationships is an important determinant of the integration of self.
