Abstract
Personality may be understood in terms of three conceptual levels: dispositional traits (broad patterns of affect, cognition, and behavior, such as extraversion and agreeableness), characteristic adaptations (developmental and motivational variables, couched within certain contexts, such as personal goals), and integrative narratives of the self (life stories, which work to enhance a sense of continuity with the personal past, present, and [presumed] future). In this chapter, I present a review of the known relations between self-concept clarity and the many characteristics relevant to an understanding of personality. Evident from this review, self-concept clarity has been found to correspond significantly with constructs at each of these conceptual levels. This chapter concludes with the provision of several suggestions for future research examining self-concept clarity from a personality psychology perspective.
