Several self theories explore the effects of discrepant self - beliefs on motivation and emotion. This research intersected two self theories: self - discrepancy theory and objective self-awareness theory. Self - discrepancy theory predicts that ideal and ought discrepancies cause different negative emotions; objective self - awareness theory predicts that high self - awareness will strengthen the relationship between self - discrepancies and emotions. People (N =112) completed measures of self-discrepancies and emotions (dejection, agitation, positive affect, and negative affect). Self - focused attention was manipulated with a large mirror. When self - awareness was low, self - discrepancies had weak, nonsignificant relations to emotion. When self - awareness was high, however, self - discrepancies strongly predicted emotional experience. These effects were general - ideal and ought discrepancies affected emotions because of their substantial shared variance, not their unique variance. Implications for theories of self - discrepancies and emotions are considered.
