The authors examined whether discrepancies related to the group - based aspects of the self are differentially associated with distinct group - based emotional distress. Perceived actual, ideal, and ought attributes; group - based dejection and agitation related emotions; and collective self - esteem and fear of negative evaluation of Israelis were assessed among 118 native Israelis. The actual - ideal group discrepancy was uniquely related to dejection - related emotions and to private collective self - esteem (CSE). In contrast, the actual-ought group discrepancy was uniquely linked to agitation - related emotions and to fear of negative Israeli evaluation. Furthermore, the actual - ought discrepancy association with fear of negative group evaluation was present only among low identifiers. Overall, the findings suggest the applicability of self - discrepancy theory in explaining emotional distress resulting from group membership.
