Document Summary
Camp ffit is part of the ottawa fire service"s campaign to recruit more female firefighters (by aligning their self-concept with this work) and change perceptions about women in the profession. Includes the 3 self-concept dimensions, and the 4 selves processes. Complexity -> the number of distinct and important roles/identities that people perceive about themselves (e. g. student, friend, daughter, etc. ) Consistency -> similar personality traits, values, and other attributes across multiple selves (e. g. you are a meticulous engineer, but also a risk-oriented skier) Clarity -> the degree to which you have a clear, confidently defined, and stable self-concept; occurs when we are confident about who we are. Psychological well-being is higher when people have complexity (multiple selves), clarity (well established selves), and consistency (selves are similar to each other and are compatible with personal traits) Employees are more likely to remember info that is consistent with their self-concept, and screen out info that"s inconsistent (particularly negative info)
