TI  - Private self-consciousness and the five-factor model of personality: 
      distinguishing rumination from reflection.
PG  - 284-304
AB  - A distinction between ruminative and reflective types of private 
      self-attentiveness is introduced and evaluated with respect to L. R. Goldberg's 
      (1982) list of 1,710 English trait adjectives (Study 1), the five-factor model of 
      personality (FFM) and A. Fenigstein, M. F. Scheier, and A. Buss's (1975) 
      Self-Consciousness Scales (Study 2), and previously reported correlates and 
      effects of private self-consciousness (PrSC; Studies 3 and 4). Results suggest 
      that the PrSC scale confounds two unrelated, motivationally distinct 
      dispositions--rumination and reflection--and that this confounding may account 
      for the "self-absorption paradox" implicit in PrSC research findings: Higher PrSC 
      scores are associated with more accurate and extensive self-knowledge yet higher 
      levels of psychological distress. The potential of the FFM to provide a 
      comprehensive framework for conceptualizing self-attentive dispositions, and to 
      order and integrate research findings within this domain, is discussed.
