Isi artikel

Processes of self - concept immunization are introduced as a way of reconciling self - concept protection against threatening information with the necessity of acknowledging own failure or losses. Self - immunization works by adaptively changing the subjective operationalization of personal traits, such that skills that individuals believe themselves to be good at are conceived as highly diagnostic, whereas skills that persons do not believe they possess are considered less diagnostic. Three studies are presented to investigate this stabilizing process. Correlational as well as experimental and longitudinal data support the assumption that self - immunization stabilizes central and abstract aspects of the self - concept without ignoring negative information on concrete skills.
