The present study was conducted to examine determinants of information-gathering behavior with regard to one's own characteristics. Four tasks with different self congruent and incongruent diagnosticity were presented to subjects. As self assessment theory predicted, high diagnostic tasks were preferred to low tasks. And as self-verification theory predicted, self congruent diagnosticity had a stronger effect on task preference than self-incongruent diagnosticity. In addition, subjects who perceived the relevant characteristics important inclined to choose self-assessment behavior more than who did not. Also, subjects who were certain of their self-concept inclined to choose self-verification behavior more than who were not. These results suggest that both self-assessment and self-verification motivations play important roles in information-gathering behavior regarding one's characteristics, and strength of the motivations is detemined by the importance of relevant characteristics or the certainty of self-concept.
