The self-insight motive describes the dispositional tendency to strive for accurate self-knowledge. The present research program is the first to comprehensively investigate the nomological net, developmental antecedents and cognitive-behavioral consequences of the self-insight motive. Concerning the nomological net, we will validate the newly constructed self-assessment motive scale by testing its associations with other personality and self-concept variables. Concerning the antecedents, we will test the hypotheses that specific person factors (i.e., high epistemic curiosity, strong self-improvement motive) and environmental factors (i.e., unstable life circumstances, individualistic culture) lead to high levels of the self-insight motive. Concerning the consequences, we will test the hypotheses that the self-insight motive fosters self-monitoring and feedback seeking behavior, which then both lead to increased accuracy of self-reports among persons with a strong self-insight motive. The research program will involve a multi-methodological approach: In a set of seven empirical studies, self-reports, peer-reports, objective ability measures, and ambulatory assessment data will be gathered. Correlational, longitudinal, experimental, and cross-cultural designs will be implemented.

自我洞察动机描述的是努力获得准确自我认识的倾向。本研究项目首次全面考察了自我觉察动机的法理网络、发展前因和认知行为后果。关于法理网络，我们将通过检验新编制的自我评估动机量表与其他人格和自我概念变量的关联性来验证新编制的自我评估动机量表。在前因方面，我们将检验特定的个人因素(即高认知好奇心、强烈的自我完善动机)和环境因素(即不稳定的生活环境、个人主义文化)会导致高水平的自我觉察动机的假设。关于结果，我们将检验这样的假设，即自我洞察动机促进自我监控和反馈寻求行为，这两种行为都会提高具有强烈自我洞察动机的人自我报告的准确性。研究计划将涉及多方法方法：在一套七项实证研究中，将收集自我报告、同行报告、客观能力测量和非卧床评估数据。将实施相关的、纵向的、实验性的和跨文化的设计。
