本研究では,現代大学生の自己形成を理想自己の観点から捉えることを目標とし，質問紙により尺度評定と自由記述とを絡めた検討を行った.本研究では,「自己形成」を“理想自己実現に向かっていこうとする意欲と実際に向かっているという行為の総体（理想自己志向性）”として規定し,得点化した.この得点と適応感を測定するための自尊感情得点との組み合わせから自己形成の8つのパターンを作成し,個人が重要とする理想自己に対する6つの意味づけのパターンと実現に向けての具体的方略およびその希求の相違についての検討を行った.その結果,理想自己志向性としての自己形成の高さには,意味づけにおける自己／他者の違い,方略の有無ならびに実行率が関係していることが示された.

Self-development of college students in terms of ideal self.
THE JAPANESE JOURNAL OF PERSONALITY 2004, Vol.12 No.2, 59-72.
The purpose of this study was to understand self-development of present-day college undergraduates in terms of ideal self. We used both rating scales and open-ended questionnaires in the study, and combined responses to them for the purpose. Orientation to self-development in the study was defined as the sum of eagerness to realize ideal self and actual movement toward it. Self-esteem score was used as an index of subjective adaptation, and along with the two orientation subscores, eight groups of students in different patterns of self-development were formed. Also, six categories of reasons for selecting the person’s own ideal self were identified. We then examined their relationships with specific strategies used and level of motivation toward ideal-self realization. Results indicated that whether the reasons for ideal self selection involved self or others, the person knew specific strategies or not, and degree of their implementation, influenced the level of self-development orientation.
