To understand how self-concept representation might serve this moderating role, one must first consider the organization of the self in memory and its implica-tions. Most psychologists view the self as a collection of context-dependent selves (i.e., self-aspects) that can vary considerably in the attributes one reveals in each of these contexts (e.g., Baumeister, 1998; Linville & Carlston, 1994). For example, one might possess several meaningful self-aspects (e.g., academic, athlete, pet owner) and reveal very different attributes in each of these self-aspects (e.g., driven as an academic but relaxed as a pet owner). Research on self-complexity captures these two features of self-concept representation: the number of self-aspects one has and the extent to which each self-aspect is rela-tively unique (i.e., shares few attributes with other self-aspects). People are considered greater in self-complexity when they have a relatively greater number of self-aspects comprised of relatively unique attributes (McConnell &
