โœฆ Synopsis


Previous ยฎndings have shown that some reactions (e.g. satisfaction with feedback) are guided by self-enhancement theory, whereas other reactions (e.g. perceived feedback accuracy) have been shown to follow predictions of self-consistency theory. The Integrative Self-Schema Model (ISSM) assumes that these eects should be moderated by the elaboration of the self-schema involved: This assumption was tested in an experimental study: 72 participants received ยฎctitious feedback on dierent personality dimensions allegedly based on an adjective checklist. This feedback was either consistent with selfperceptions, more positive than expected, or more negative than expected, and addressed highly elaborated (schematic) or less elaborated (aschematic) personality dimensions. Satisfaction, feedback accuracy and interest in further information were analysed as dependent variables. The experimental results clearly conยฎrmed the hypotheses derived from the ISSM for satisfaction and perceived feedback accuracy. A self-consistency eect regarding perceived feedback accuracy was found only for feedback on schematic dimensions but was attenuated on aschematic dimensions. A self-enhancement eect regarding satisfaction was found only on aschematic dimensions. This ยฎnding was reversed on schematic dimensions. Finally, interest in further information did not follow the predictions made by the ISSM.

## Abstract Based on the soโ€called Hirshfeld atom in the molecule scheme, a new AIM method is presented. The method is similar to the Hirshfeldโ€I scheme, with the AIM weight function being constructed by minimizing the information loss upon formation of the molecule, but now requiring explicitly th
