Self-Discrepancy in Adolescence: Own and Parental Standpoints on the Self.
Moretti, Marlene M.; Wiebe, Vaneesa J.
Merrill-Palmer Quarterly, v45 n4 p624-49 Oct 1999
Examined the relationship between adolescents' detection of self-discrepancies and internalizing and externalizing problems. Found that self-discrepancy, independent of actual-self positivity, predicted internalizing and externalizing problems. For girls, discrepancy with parental standards predicted functioning, and discrepancy with independent standards predicted externalizing problems. For boys, discrepancy with independent but not parental standards predicted internalizing problems. (Author/KB)
