How the past affects the clarity of ideal and feared selves. (MALES ONLY)

12 February 2017

We are interested in seeing how the recall of past experiences influences self-concept clarity of your ideal and feared selves. That is, the traits you wish and fear to have and how clear you are on potentially possessing them in the future.
In this study that typically takes 10-15 minutes, after describing a past event, you will be asked to complete several questionnaires pertaining to your self-concepts (self-descriptions) and their clarity.
