“…Namely, we should assess the full panoply of self-representations. Otherwise, we risk missing potentially significant within-person variation in self-schema content across multiple existing selfrepresentations (Scott, Tyser et al, 2021). In our procedure for assessing self-schemata, clients complete the Relational Self-Schema Measure (RSSM; as well as a modified narrative procedure (see Cervone, 1997).…”

“…We occasionally assign by default self-with-mother and self-withfather targets increasing the number of people to six. Earlier research revealed that when self-schemata were assessed in this manner, and participants wrote descriptions of self-schema scripts and goals for each self-with-other representation, strong themes of relatedness/connection, competence, and autonomy psychological needs emerged (Scott, Tyser et al, 2021). The RSSM was designed to assess the level of these psychological need themes for each of the self-withother representations.…”

We present a novel personality assessment method that applies social cognitive personality theory, and more specifically, the Knowledge and Appraisal Personality Architecture model (KAPA; Cervone, 2004 ; 2021 ; see Scott & Cervone, 2016 ). Our assessment method generates descriptions of how personality structures, including temperament, beliefs, goals, and evaluative standards, are activated in “functionally equivalent” situations to generate if–then personality signatures ( Mischel, 2004 ). These descriptions represent models of personality coherence, which we characterize as strong attractor states. We define personality incoherence as nonexistent or perturbed attractor states, in which the situational “if” does not consistently produce a coherent “then” pattern of thinking, feeling, and behaving. We provide a step-by-step description of our personality assessment method, and include lists of measures that can be used to assess temperament, beliefs, goals, and standards. To illustrate our personality assessment method, we present a case study of a man in his forties who met criteria for persistent depressive disorder, with intermittent major depressive episodes, with current episode and generalized anxiety disorder. For this client, we describe two “attractor states,” one maladaptive and one adaptive, each providing an example of personality coherence. We conclude by discussing potential future directions and limitations of our personality assessment method.

“…Social rejection refers to the state where the rejector denies the request of the target in social interaction (Leary et al, 1998;Freedman et al, 2017). The antecedents of social rejection are diverse and complicated, as personalities (Killian et al, 2021;Rudert et al, 2021;Yaakobi, 2021;Redmond et al, 2022;Scott et al, 2022), perceptions (Zhang et al, 2022), status characteristics (Chung et al, 2021;Norman et al, 2021;Landini, 2022;Saco, 2022), and situational factors (Li Q. et al, 2021;Rudert et al, 2021;Graupmann and Pfundmair, 2022;Liborio et al, 2022) all play important roles in shaping social rejection. Generally speaking, social rejection happens to socially-unfavorable individuals or under difficult times.…”

Social rejection is cold and hurtful, but how and why it is formed remains under-investigated. Our study offers one possible explanation from the rejector’s perspective by developing a moderated mediation model on the emotional antecedent and consequence of social rejection. Specifically, envious individuals use social rejection to complement their inferiority, further triggering their negative affect. Drawing on social comparison theory, we conducted an experience sampling methodology (ESM) investigation of 55 frontline workers through a 10-workday-survey (Level 1 n = 515). As predicted, daily envy is positively associated with daily social rejection. Daily social rejection is positively related to daily negative affect. Furthermore, daily social rejection mediates the relationship between daily envy and daily negative affect. These effects are more robust for females than males, including the impact of envy on social rejection and the impact of envy on negative affect via social rejection. We suggest the recipient and the rejector make psychological and behavioral adjustments accordingly. We also recommend that future research extend our current study methodologically and theoretically.
