Relationship of Discrepant Self-Appraisals to Academic and Social Performance in College

个人形成自我概念的过程是社会心理学家长期以来一直试图了解的。研究表明，自我评价和他人评价之间往往存在差异。这种差异可以为个人提供改变他/她的自我评价的可能性。本研究将考察不同自我评价的社会心理学贡献者。这些研究将着眼于处于过渡状态的个人，进入大学时，预计个人的自我认知和对他人的认知将发生变化。将收集有关学术和社会领域的自我评价、他人对学生的评价以及客观的成就衡量标准的数据。这项研究将帮助我们理解为什么以及如何一些人相对轻松和成功地完成了过渡，而另一些人则不是。

The process by which individuals come to form self conceptions is one which social psychologists have long sought to understand. Research has shown that there is often a discrepancy between self.appraisal and appraisal by others. This discrepancy can provide an individual with the possibility of changing his/her self appraisal. This research will look at the social psychological concommitants of discrepant self appraisals. These studies will look at individuals in a transition state, entry into college, when changes are expected to occur in self.perception and perception of others. Data will be gathered relating to self appraisals in academic and social domains, appraisals of the students by others, and objective measures of achievement. This research will help us understand why and how some individuals accomplish the transition with relative ease and success while others do not.
