Abstract
- All around the world, people show an authenticity positivity bias: people include their most positive and moral qualities - such as kind, giving and honest - in their descriptions of their true self. While there doesn't appear to actually be such a thing as the one true self, the concept of the true self may still serve a useful function. I would argue that getting in touch with your best selves and intentionally actualizing your most creative, growth-oriented potentialities is a much more worthy goal than spending your entire life trying to find your one true self.
