Abstract

Developing a clear, consistent, and positive self-concept of oneself is an important development task during early adulthood. Yet as people encounter innumerable shifts and changes in life, so should their self-concept. Studies show that inconsistencies in self-concept would appear constantly during adulthood, but currently, no suitable scale for direct measurement of the consistencies of self-concept exist. The present scale developed and validated the Self-Contradiction Scale, which consisted of three dimensions, using two separate samples with a total of 1852 participants. Overall, the psychometric properties of the new scale are satisfactory.
