Abstract
Data regarding imaginary audience (IA)and personal fable (PF) sensitivity, separation individuation concerns, and social support were collected from 100 young adolescents (a) to replicate and extend previous findings of relations among those variables, (b) to compare the predictive power of social support and separation-individuation concerns for IA and PI; and (c) to compare newly developed and traditional measures of IA and PE Overall, the results replicated those from previous studies and highlighted the importance of resolving measurement issues surrounding IA and PF: For example, the relative importance of social support as compared to separation-individuation processes differs depending on how IA is measured. The "new look" model seems to fit for a global, object-relational ideation view of I4, but not for the typical self-consciousness conceptualization of that construct. Directions for further research and suggestions for improving measures of IA and PF are discussed.
