✦ Synopsis


The present study examines how motivated self-concept changes are re¯ected in actual behaviour. Subjects were led to believe that either extroversion or introversion was related to success. Their preferences for others as interaction partners were then examined. The ®ndings suggest that people seek others who con®rmed the belief that they possessed the success-related attribute. Self-veri®cation, as a possible strategy to con®rm a desired self, was partially supported.
