This study examined the hypothesis that the contributions of specific domains of self-concept to global self-concept are dependent upon their perceived importance. The Self Description Questionnaire III was administered to a sample of 506 male and female participants. Analysis of the data using Marsh's original individually weighted multiple regression model confirmed previous findings of no support for the importance hypothesis. In contrast, the results from alternative individually weighted regression models provided strong support for the importance hypothesis. These alternative models utilized idiographically determined as opposed to nomothetically determined relative importance. The data also showed evidence of strong discounting for certain domains, moderate discounting for other domains, and no discounting for still others. The findings challenge previous thinking on the limited role of the importance hypothesis.
本研究检验了这样一个假设，即自我概念的特定领域对整体自我概念的贡献取决于它们被感知到的重要性。对506名男性和女性参与者的样本进行了《自我描述问卷III》的施测。使用马什最初的个体加权多元回归模型对数据进行分析，证实了之前不支持重要性假设的研究结果。相比之下，替代的个体加权回归模型的结果为重要性假设提供了有力支持。这些替代模型使用的是个体独特确定的相对重要性，而非一般法则确定的相对重要性。数据还显示出某些领域存在强烈的折扣效应，其他领域存在适度的折扣效应，还有一些领域不存在折扣效应。这些发现挑战了之前对重要性假设有限作用的看法。
