As the term is typically used, authenticity refers to the degree to which a particular behavior is congruent with a person’s attitudes, beliefs, values, motives, and other dispositions. However, researchers disagree regarding the best way to conceptualize and measure authenticity, whether being authentic is always desirable, why people are motivated to be authentic, and the nature of the relationship between authenticity and psychological well-being. In this article, we examine existing views of authenticity, identify questionable assumptions about the concept of authenticity, and discuss issues regarding subjective feelings of inauthenticity, the implications of authenticity for psychological and social well-being, and the importance that people place on being authentic.

做自己的谜：对真实性概念的严格审查。

正如通常使用的术语一样，真实性是指特定行为与人的态度，信念，价值观，动机和其他倾向相一致的程度。但是，研究人员对概念化和衡量真实性的最佳方法，是否始终需要真实性，人们为什么要被激发成为真实性以及真实性与心理健康之间关系的性质存在分歧。在本文中，我们研究了真实性的现有观点，确定了关于真实性概念的可疑假设，并讨论了有关主观不真实感，真实性对心理和社会福祉的影响以及人们对真实性的重视程度的问题。 。
