Locating self-concept clarity within current models of personality, identity, and the self, expert contributors define the construct and its critical roles in both individual and collective identity and functioning. The book examines commonly-used measures for assessing clarity, particularly in relation to the more widely understood concept of self-esteem, with recommendations for best practices in assessment. In addition, a wealth of current data highlights the links between self-concept clarity and major areas of mental wellness and dysfunction, from adaptation and leadership to body image issues and schizophrenia. Along the way, it outlines important future directions in research on self-concept clarity.  \u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eIncluded in the coverage:\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSituating self-concept clarityin the landscape of personality.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDevelopment of self-concept clarity across the lifespan.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSelf-concept clarity and romantic relationships.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWho am I and why does it matter?
