公的・私的自己意識と自我体験―「私」への｢なぜ」という問い―の関連を検討した．自我体験とは，「私はなぜ私なのか」，「私はどこから来たのだろう」といった水準の「私」への問いである．この点について，中学生239 名・大学生228 名を対象に，質問紙調査を行った．その結果，中学生においては，公的・私的自己意識の分化はあまり見られなかった．しかし，自我体験を報告した群の方が未体験群よりも公的･私的自己意識間の相関が低く，より分化が見られた．そして，公的・私的自己意識双方と自我体験の間に関連が見られ，中学生においては，公的・私的自己意識と自我体験の間に密接な関連があることが示された．一方大学生では，私的自己意識だけに自我体験との間に関連が見られた．また自我体験については，118 名の中学生と108 名の大学生から自我体験が報告され，体験率は中学生が49.4% ・大学生が47.4% であった．

キーワード：自己意識，自我体験，中学生，大学生

Self-consciousness and Ego Experience of Asking Questions about “I”
THE JAPANESE JOURNAL OF PERSONALITY 2005, Vol.13 No.2, 197-207.

Ego experience is defined as an incidence of asking questions about “I”, such as “Why am I the person I am?” and “Where have I come from?” In this paper, we report the research on the relationship between selfconsciousness and ego experience. A questionnaire was administered to 239 junior high school and 228 college students. Results showed that 118 of the junior high school students (49.4%) reported ego experience, while 108 of undergraguates (47.4%) did the same. Public and private self-consciousness of junior high school students were not yet sufficiently differentiated. However, those who reported own ego experience had them more differentiated than those who did not, with a lower correlation between them. Also, both public and private self-consciousness related to ego experience in junior high school students. In contrast, only private self-consciousness of undergraduates related to ego experience.

Key words: self-consciousness, ego experience, junior high school students, undergraduates
