Acceptance of vague and generalized personality feedback was examined as a function of private self-consciousness in Experiment 1. Contrary to expectations, it was found that individuals high in private self-consciousness judged the personality feedback to be more accurate self-descriptions than did individuals low in private self-consciousness. A second experiment investigated the acceptance of general versus specific personality feedback. It was found that individuals high in private self-consciousness judged general feedback to be more accurate but specific feedback to be less accurate than did individuals low in private self-consciousness. In parallel with this, individuals high in private self-consciousness generated more confirmatory evidence for general feedback but more disconfirmatory evidence for specific feedback than did individuals low in private self-consciousness. The findings were discussed in terms of positive test strategies and confirmatory processing in the acceptance of personality feedback.
