“…The SRIS has high internal consistency and internal validity (Grant et al, 2002; Roberts and Stark, 2008). The Dutch version of the questionnaire had good psychometric properties (Sauter et al, 2010) and in the current sample, the SRIS-SR and SRIS-IN showed excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α = 0.94 for SRIS-SR; α = 0.82 for SRIS-IN).…”

Human minds often engage in thoughts and feelings that are self-generated rather than stimulus-dependent, such as daydreaming. Recent research suggests that under certain circumstances, daydreaming is associated with adverse effects on cognition and affect. Based on recent literature about the influence of resting mind in relation to rumination and depression, this questionnaire study investigated mechanisms linking daydreaming to depressive symptoms. Specifically, an indirect effect model was tested in which daydreaming influences depressive symptoms through enhancing self-focus and ruminative thought. Results were in line with the hypothesis and several alternative pathways were ruled out. The results provide initial supportive evidence that daydreaming can influence depressive symptoms through influences on self-focus and rumination. Further research should use prospective or experimental designs to further validate and strengthen these conclusions.

“…Grant et al (2002) have demonstrated test-retest reliability (r = .75 to .77) and congruent validity with objective measures such as diary keeping, and the scale has been found to be a valid and reliable measure (Roberts & Stark, 2008;Sauter, Heyne, Blote, van Widenfelt, & Westenberg, 2010).…”

Disentangling the Relationships Among Self-Reflection, Insight, and Subjective Well-Being: The Role of Dysfunctional Attitudes and Core Self-Evaluations

Central to many psychological schools of thought is the notion that self-reflection leads to self-insight which, in turn, leads to enhanced well-being. However, empirical research has found that although self-insight is typically associated with well-being, self-reflection is frequently not associated with self-insight or well-being. Past attempts to understand this conundrum have tended to focus on the role of ruminative self-refection. Using a different approach this study investigates the roles of dysfunctional attitudes and positive core self-evaluations. Using data from 227 participants, two key findings are reported: first, dysfunctional attitudes suppress the relationship between self-reflection and self-insight; and second, positive core self-evaluations mediate the relationship between self-insight and subjective well-being. These two findings imply that a path exists from self-reflection to subjective well-being through self-insight and positive core self-evaluations. This path model was found to be a good fit. Implications for future research and positive psychological practice are discussed.

“…Grant (2003), for example, has examined how coaching influences self-reflection and insight, and other researchers have considered the traits' relevance for readiness for professional development (Roberts & Stark, 2008) and for adolescent populations (Sauter et al, 2010). This applied interest is not surprising in light of the large literature on the clinical relevance of self-conscious traits, particularly private self-consciousness (Ingram, 1990).…”

“…To expand upon past work, we emphasized markers of poor functioning, such as anxiety and depression symptoms. Much of the interest in self-reflection and insight comes from clinical, counseling, and coaching domains, particularly areas interested in how introspective abilities may aid or hinder change (e.g., Grant, 2003 andSauter et al, 2010), so it is worth examining how these traits relate to markers of affect and well-being.…”

Evaluating self-reflection and insight as self-conscious traits

Abstract:Recent years have seen several new models of individual-differences in self-consciousness. The present research evaluated self-reflection and insight as types of self-focused attention. In the self-reflection and insight model, both traits represent metacognitive individual differences that aid self-regulation. In a sample of 233 young adults, both self-reflection and insight covaried with many different self-conscious traits (public and private self-consciousness, rumination, reflection), which suggests that they crosscut past typologies. Insight, but not self-reflection, covaried with many markers of affect and well-being: people high in insight had lower depression and anxiety symptoms, lower NA, higher PA, and higher self-esteem. On the whole, the evidence is consistent with the self-reflection and insight model, and the findings suggest that self-reflection and insight are distinct from each other and from other self-conscious traits.self-reflection | insight | rumination | reflection | self-awareness | self-focused Keywords: attention | personality | psychology Article:

Assessing Therapy-Relevant Cognitive Capacities in Young People: Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Self-Reflection and Insight Scale for Youth

Abstract: It appears that the SRIS-Y is a sound instrument for assessing therapy-relevant cognitive capacities in young people, of potential benefit in both research and clinical contexts. Future research foci include the predictive validity of the instrument.
