The Body Esteem of Hmong and Caucasian Young Adults
This study investigated race and gender differences among 73 Hmong American and 80 Caucasian American college students. Racial differences were found only among the women, with Hmong women holding more positive attitudes toward weight concern body items and expressing less interest in changing these body items than Caucasian women. There were no gender differences among the Hmong, and the gender differences among Caucasians involved weight concer…

Psychosocial Differences Between Urban and Rural People Living With HIV/Aids
During the past decade, many investigations have examined the life circumstances of people living with HIV disease. Most of these studies, however, have focused on HIV‐infected people in large metropolitan areas. This study compares the psychosocial profiles of rural and urban people living with HIV disease. Anonymous, self‐administered surveys were completed by 276 people with HIV/AIDS in a Midwestern state. The assessment instrument measured re…
The body-as-object versus the body-as-process
Two social worlds
Adolescents' peer group status in high school was examined using self-report, peer nominations, and archival data collected during 2 consecutive school years. Higher status students (popular and controversial) had more close friends, engaged more frequently in peer activities, and self-disclosed more than lower status students (rejected and neglected). They were also more involved in extracurricular school activities and received more social hono…
Stability and change in adolescent self-consciousness and empathy
A Motivational Explanation for the Existence of Private Self‐Consciousness Differences
The present article investigates whether there are motivational underpinnings for individual differences in level of private self‐consciousness The findings provide preliminary evidence that there are underlying motivational components of need for self‐knowledge and need for self‐defense In the first two studies, high private self‐conscious individuals (PRSCs) reported placing a higher value on accurate self‐knowledge than did low PRSCs (Study 2)…
Gender differences in the experience of body awareness
Studying Situations and Identities Using Experiential Sampling Methodology
This paper explores a central question in social psychology: How are particular meanings of particular identities selected in a situation? This question was examined in a field setting, using experiential sampling techniques in which participants carried an electronic timer for two days as they engaged in their normal activities on a college campus. When the timer signalled them, participants responded to a questionnaire concerning who they were …
Private Self-Consciousness and Self-Disclosure
Another look at the relation between private self-consciousness and self-attribution
Adolescent loneliness, self-disclosure, and private self-consciousness
Attempts to identify the causes of loneliness have recently led to at least one conclusion that seems to be widely shared by investigators in the field: The experience of loneliness is at least as much a function of the quality (e.g., intimacy, privacy) of one's social intercourse as the sheer quantity of the time spent with others.In particular, one qualitative feature of social relationships-the intimacy of self-disclosure to others-has attract…

The effects of private self-consciousness and perspective taking on satisfaction in close relationships
relationships.These two characteristics are self-awareness (or self-consciousness) and social perspective taking (or role taking).Self-awareness usually refers to the attempt to understand one's own internal states; perspective taking refers to the attempt to understand the point of view of others.Although most adults are capable of both, research has demonstrated that there are reliable individual differences in the degree to which people habitu…
The Body Esteem Scale
Norms and reliability and validity data are presented for an objectively scored Body Esteem Scale. Factor analysis of the scale revealed that body esteem is a multidimensional construct which differs for males and females. For males, the body esteem dimensions dealt with physical attractiveness, upper body strength, and physical condition. For females, the dimensions dealt with sexual attractiveness, weight concern, and physical condition. The th…

Self-concept differences as a function of private self-consciousness and social anxiety
Factor Analysis of the Stability of Self Scale
The factor structure of Rosenberg's Stability of Self Scale (1965) was investigated via principal components factor analysis. Data from 92 male and 171 female undergraduates yielded a one-factor solution, supporting Rosenberg's contention that the scale is unidimensional
