The results of the previous researches of the self-concept were often controversial creating so some difficulties for comparison and verification. The resource of these deficiencies was in the definition of ithe self-concept which was imprecise and unlike and also in bad metric characteristics of the instruments involved in the research. After well-known researches like Wylie (1974 and 1979) the new researches, encouraged by those, were divided lin 3 groups. In the first group authors examined the metric characteristics of the well-known and long used scales and they also constructed new scales serving for the measurement of self-concept. Those examinations showed the untenableness of some aspects concerning the uni-dimension of the self-concept. The second group examined the theoretical consistency of the self-concept and its relations to the related psychological constructs. The third group worked on the self-concept of youth which was different from the previous and it also and the cross-cultural differences. These studies supported a comprehension of th eself-concept of youth which was different from tile previous and it also supported an idea of a construct being examined within his own culture and also with the instruments available in that culture.

Comments are made on an article by Funk, et al. about children and electronic games. This author argues the cross-cultural differences and developmental effects must be taken into account and that the categorization system of videogames based on content is incomplete or too general to cover the complex actions of contemporary videogames. These factors alone may have implications for research.

The Cross

Previous studies have shown that Easterners generally perceive themselves as having lower subjective well-being compared with Westerners, and several mechanisms causing such differences have been identified. However, few studies have analyzed the causes of such differences from the perspective of the cross-cultural differences in the meanings of important life events such as whether people receive approval from others. Specifically, events regarding others’ approval might have different meanings to and influences on Easterners and Westerners. Thus, the degree of fluctuation of people’s views of self-worth in response to these events (i.e., others’ approval contingencies of self-worth [CSW]) probably differs between Easterners and Westerners. This may be a reason for cross-cultural differences in subjective well-being. We investigated two samples of undergraduate students from Taiwan and the United States to examine the mediating role of others’ approval CSW in forming cross-cultural differences in subjective well-being. The results revealed that Taiwanese participants exhibited lower subjective well-being and higher others’ approval CSW than American participants. In addition, others’ approval CSW partially mediated the cross-cultural differences in subjective well-being. Thus, one reason for lower subjective well-being among Easterners was likely that their self-esteem was more prone to larger fluctuations depending on whether they receive approval from others in everyday life.

Empirical Implications

The present work involves the reconceptualization of self-consciousness as a multifaceted process. In the first study, subjects were asked to freely describe the contents of their thoughts when thinking about themselves. Content analyses resulted in the definition of specific categories of self-consciousness which were found to overlap partly with basic dimensions of the self-concept. In the second study, a valid and reliable self-report questionnaire of self-consciousness was developed, comprising fourteen separate factors. In the third study, different patterns of self-consciousness were found to be associated with depression, anxiety, self-disclosure, and loneliness. The theoretical and empirical implications of conceptualizing self-consciousness as a multiple-content phenomenon are discussed.
