信念确定性和信念重要性代表了自我概念中两种相对独立的投资形式。三项研究表明，虽然确定性与认知(即理性或信息)因素有关，但重要性与情感(即情感和动机)因素更密切相关。第四项研究探索了确定性和重要性对人们自我观点的时间稳定性的影响，结果表明，尽管信念确定性与积极信念和消极信念的稳定性有关，但信念重要性只与积极信念的稳定性有关。讨论了信念投资对验证-增强辩论以及自我概念的结构和测量的影响。
Belief certainty and belief importance represent 2 relatively independent forms of investment in the self-concept. Three studies suggested that whereas certainty is associated with epistemic (ie, rational or informational) factors, importance is more closely associated with emotive (ie, emotional and motivational) factors. A 4th study explored the implications of certainty and importance for the temporal stability of people's self-views and revealed that whereas belief certainty was associated with the stability of both positive and negative beliefs, belief importance was associated with the stability of positive beliefs only. The implications of belief investment for the verification–enhancement debate and for the structure and measurement of the self-concept are discussed.
