Abstract

We investigate a novel link between self-concept clarity and social decision making performance. Drawing on theories of goal pursuit and the self, we posit that self-concept clarity, a concept combining the organization and accessibility of self-related memory representations, can be linked to better decision making performance in situations involving the self. Two preregistered studies assessed the relationship between self-concept clarity and social decision making performance and observed substantial, positive relationships. These relationships could not be accounted for by measures of processing speed or social preferences, suggesting a direct link between self-concept clarity and decision performance in a social context. We conclude by discussing how this novel finding may share a common pathway with other, established links between self-concept clarity and decision performance.
