Influence of the level of self-esteem and self-concept clarity on the flow of self-evaluative thought

Cilj je ovoga istraživanja ispitati utjecaj samopoštovanja i jasnoće pojma o sebi na tok samoevaluativne misli. Kako bi se ispitao utjecaj samopotšovanja, korištena je skala samopoštovanja dok je za utjecaj jasnoće pojma o sebi korištena skala jasnoće pojma o sebi te je za tok samoevaluativne misli korišten protokol za mjerenje toka samoevaluativne misli. Rezultati ovog istraživanja pokazuju da samopoštovanje utječe na valenciju toka samoevaluativne misli, dok jasnoća pojma o sebi nije pokazala statistički značajan utjecaj na mjere varijabilnosti, raspona i mirovanja toka samoevalutaivne misli. Također, interakcije samopoštovanja i jasnoće pojma o sebi utječu na mjere varijabilnosti, raspona i mirovanja toka samoevaluativne misli. Općenito, rezultati pokazuju značajan utjecaj samopoštovanja na valenciju toka samoevaluativne misli i značajan utjecaj interakcije samopoštovanja i jasnoće pojma o sebi na varijabilnost, mirovanje i raspon toka samoevaluativne misli te mogući posredujući učinak samopoštovanja između jasnoće pojma o sebi i toka samoevaluativne misli.The aim of this research was to examine the influence of self-esteem and self-concept clarity on course of self-evaluative thought. To examine the influence of self-esteem it was used the Self-Esteem Scale, for self-concept clarity it was used the Self-Concept Clarity Scale and to examine the flow of self-evaluative thought it was used a protocol for measuring the self-evaluative thought. The results of this research indicate that self-esteem affects the valence of flow of self-evaluative thought, while the self-concept clarity didn´t show significant affect on the measures of variabilty, range and stillnes of flow of self-evaluative thought. Also, the interactions of self-esteem and self-concept clarity affect the variabilty, range an stillness of flow of self-evaluative thought. Generally, the results show a significant effect of self-esteem on valence of self-evaluative thought, significant interaction efect of self-esteem and self-concep clarity on the variabilty, range and stillness of flow of self-evaluative thought and a possible mediating effect of self-esteem between self-concept clarity and the flow of self-evaluative thought
