三项研究考察了关于自我的知识的分类组织是否解释了自尊和抑郁的差异，而不是由绝对数量的积极或消极内容来解释。划分是将关于自我的正面和负面知识组织成不同的、统一作价的类别(自我方面)的趋势。只要积极的自我方面被激活，接触消极信息的机会就应该减少到最低。对于积极的自我方面很重要的个体，划分与高自尊和低抑郁得分相关；当消极的自我方面重要时，划分与低自尊和高抑郁得分相关。对自我方面标签的分析表明，条块分割组织的个体对消极自我方面的定义特别狭隘。讨论了分区化组织与认知复杂性之间的可能关系。
Three studies examined whether categorical organization of knowledge about the self explains variance in self-esteem and depression beyond that which is accounted for by sheer amount of positive or negative content. Compartmentalization is the tendency to organize positive and negative knowledge about the self into separate, uniformly valenced categories (self-aspects). As long as positive self-aspects are activated, access to negative information should be minimized. Compartmentalization was associated with high self-esteem and low depression scores for individuals whose positive self-aspects were important; when negative self-aspects were important, compartmentalization was correlated with low self-esteem and high depression scores. An analysis of self-aspect labels showed that individuals with compartmentalized organization define negative self-aspects in especially narrow terms. A possible relationship between compartmentalized organization and cognitive complexity is discussed.
