“…Cornette, Strauman, Abramson, and Busch (2009) found that actual-ideal and actual-ought discrepancies related to hopelessness, depression, and suicidal ideation in students. Finally, Alatiq, Crane, Williams, and Goodwin (2010) found a trend for individuals with a history of mood episodes consistent with a diagnosis of bipolar disorder to have higher actual-ideal discrepancies than healthy controls, and interestingly found that those with a history of hypomania but not depression rated themselves as more similar to their feared selves than healthy controls.…”

“…There is evidence that specific discrepancies relate to different symptoms and disorders. However, it has been suggested that self-discrepancies may be mood-state dependent in individuals who experience both elevated and low mood (Alatiq et al, 2010). Much of the research in this domain focuses on psychological distress; there is little research concerning the relationship between self-discrepancies and overall well-being.…”

“…Additionally, consistencies (i.e., low discrepancy) between actual and feared selves have been found to be related to both depression and anxiety (Carver et al , 1999). Similarly, people experiencing depressive episodes in bipolar disorder have been shown to demonstrate higher consistency with their feared self than non‐clinical controls (Alatiq, Crane, Williams, & Goodwin, 2010), whereas consistency between actual and ideal or ought selves has been found in persons with mania (Alatiq et al , 2010; Bentall, Kinderman, & Manson, 2005). One explanation for these findings can be found in mood congruency theory, whereby people tend to hold and recall beliefs congruent to their mood (Bower, 1981; Chatterjee & Kulhara, 1989; Delgado & Chaves, 2013; Upthegrove et al , 2015; Winokur, Scharfetter, & Angst, 1985).…”

Understanding the role of self in auditory verbal hallucinations using a self‐discrepancy paradigm

Objective. Negative auditory verbal hallucination (AVH) content is a major predictor of distress and typically occurs more frequently than positive or neutral content. Recent research has found that negative views of self are associated with the negative content of AVHs. However, research investigating the role of self in AVH content is in its infancy and warrants further study.Design. The current study examined correspondence between negative voice content and internalized representations of self, using a self-discrepancy paradigm incorporating multiple domains of self (ideal, ought, and feared). It also considered the impact of depression and anxiety.Method. An adapted self-discrepancy questionnaire was administered to a transdiagnostic clinical sample of 86 current voice-hearers. Participants rated how similar they believed themselves to be (actual self), and how similar their voices would say they are (voice self), to their ideal, ought, and feared self-concepts.Results. Voice content was related to how the person viewed themselves in relation to their ideal, ought, and feared self-concepts. Additionally, voices reflected negative feared self-concepts, particularly in people with anxiety.Conclusions. These findings provide further insight into the phenomenon of hearing voices and have the potential to change the way we approach formulation and treatment of AVHs. In particular, treatment approaches that reduce discrepancies between how one views themselves and their positive and negative self-concepts, or alter the relationship one has with their self-concepts and negative voices, have the potential to reduce the impact of distressing voices. Practitioner pointsVoice experiences can be meaningfully related to how the person views themselves in relation to concepts of their ideal, ought, and feared selvesThis is an open access article under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits use, distribution and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
