New Dimensions in Identity Control Theory. Edition No. 1
VDM Publishing House, Sep 2008, Pages: 80
This study evaluates the structural identity control
model to explain variations in stepmothers’ self-
feelings of authenticity, competence, and worth. The
models argue that the verification of stepmother’s
person, role and social identities produce high
levels of self-authenticity, self-competence, and
self-worth. The model was tested with data on a
sample of 111 respondents. It was found that self-
perception on the part of a Stepmother is related to
their own, and others’, expectations and perceptions
of that role. Feelings of self-worth and
authenticity are predictable, as are their negative
counterparts. The results provide a useful tool to
investigate individuals in a variety of social
roles, and should be useful to researchers in a
broad spectrum of social science applications, from
investigating the reactions of individuals in
specific social roles, to clarifying the
communication process in groups. In addition, the
identification of variables in a person’s self-
identity will prove a useful tool in marketing and
public services.
