The aim of this research was to describe the relations between self-concept clarity, selfesteem and the self-focused attention processes of self-reflection and insight in a sample of young adult residents in Lima (Peru). For this purpose a test battery was applied, using internet, to a sample of 116 young adults aged between 18 and 34 years old (M = 22.97; DE = 2.58). Self-concept clarity was found to be negatively correlated with the need for selfreflection and positively correlated with insight, which questions the theoretical assumption of independence between the structural and the content dimensions of the self-concept. Engagement in self-reflection wasn’t found to be related either with insight nor self-concept clarity, thus confirming previous findings which suggest that self-reflective activity is neither necessary nor sufficient to achieve insight or greater clarity. Self-esteem wasn’t found related to any constructof this study, fact that replicates other research questioning its relevance for well-being-related variables. Finally, no mean difference regarding the sex of participants was found for any of the constructs, probably due to the homogeneity of the sample’s socio-demographic and cultural characteristics.
