Sketching the contours of state authenticity

We outline a program of research in which we examined state authenticity, the sense of being one’s true self. In particular, we describe its phenomenology (what it feels like to be experience authenticity), its correlates(e.g.,emotions,needs),itsnomologicalnetwork(e.g.,real-idealselfoverlap,publicandprivate self-consciousness), its cultural parameters (Easter and Western culture), its precursors or determinants (congruency, positivity, and hedonism), and its psychological health implications. We conclude by arguing that state authenticity deserves its own conceptual status, distinct from trait authenticity, and by setting an agenda for future research

State authenticity

State authenticity is the sense that one is currently in alignment with one’s true or real self. We discuss state authenticity as seen by independent raters, describe its phenomenology, outline its triggers, consider its well-being and behavioral implications, and sketch out a cross-disciplinary research agenda

Adolescent Environmentalism and Needs Satisfaction

Adolescents are more likely to deny climate change and disengage from environmental behaviors when their exposure to climate-related content undermines their experience of competence, autonomy, and relatedness. Thus, this experiment will assess whether a proof of concept intervention designed to satisfy these psychological needs can enhance adolescents’ pro-environmental beliefs, behaviors, and attitudes. In addition, it will evaluate how exposure to environmental content that enables adolescents to experience competence, autonomy, or relatedness affects their emotional wellbeing and perception of climate change as a politically polarizing topic. An alarming percentage of young people continue to reject the science of climate change and live in environmentally unfriendly ways. By laying the foundation for curricula and interventions that promote adolescents’ personal motivations to engage in, as opposed to withdraw from, the environmental crisis, this research hopes to reframe educators’ and policymakers’ approach to involving adolescents in the fight against climate change.

How Children Construct Views of Themselves : A Social-Developmental Perspective

As they grow up, children construct views of themselves and their place in the world, known as their self-concept. This topic has often been addressed by social psychologists (studying how the self-concept is influenced by social contexts) and developmental psychologists (studying how the self-concept changes over time). Yet, relatively little is known about the origins of the self-concept. This article calls for research that bridges social and developmental psychology to illuminate this important issue. Adopting such a social-developmental approach, the current special section shows that children construct their self-concept based on the social relationships they have, the feedback they receive, the social comparisons they make, and the cultural values they endorse. These findings underline the deeply social nature of self-development
