| 概要 | Since evaluations by friends inherently pose a conflict between a desire for self-enhancement and self-verification, in this study I examined how self-enhancing and self-verifying evaluations by close friends affected the adjustment to college of 358 undergraduate students (227 women and 131 men) as well as the quality of their close friendships. Among the chief findings, in the domain of communion, participants who perceived being evaluated more positively by their close friends demonstrated better adjustment to college. Meanwhile, in the domain of intelligence, participants who perceived evaluations to be self-verifying demonstrated better adjustment to college as well. Both effects were mediated by the student's satisfaction with their close friendships, and in the intelligent domain, self-verifying evaluations by close friends directly affected the student's adjustment to college. I here discuss the results in terms of the relationship between evaluations by close friends and the students' adjustment to college. |
