Whereas most self - verification research has focused on people's desire to verify their global self - conceptions, the present studies examined self - verification with regard to contextualized self views - views of the self in particular situations and relationships. It was hypothesized that individuals whose core self - conceptions include contextualized self - views should seek to verify these self - views. In Study 1, the more individuals defined the self in dialectical terms, the more their judgements were biased in favor of verifying over non verifying feedback about a negative, situation - specific self - view. In Study 2, consistent with research on gender differences in the importance of relationships to the self - concept, women but not men showed a similar bias toward feedback about a negative, relationship - specific self - view, a pattern not seen for global self - views. Together, the results support the notion that self - verification occurs for core self - conceptions, whatever form(s) they may take. Individual differences in self - verification and the nature of selfhood and authenticity are discussed.
