Two concepts: social orientedness and individual orientedness, relating to two-dimensionality of self-consiousness, were proposed in order to grasp personality traits and adjustmental level and developmental level. Three questionnaires: an orientedness scale, a SD self-concept scale, and a self-esteem scale were administered to adolescent and adult subjects. The results showed that orientedness scores rose with increasing age, but a difference between males and females on both changing phase and process was found. Each orientedness changed in content, such as social orientedness following the next process: from dependency and others-direction to coexistence; on the other hand, individual orientedness followed the next process: from egocentrism to autonomy. These orientednesses mean the content of horizontal axis and vertical axis of two-dimensional developmental schema. From the relation with self-esteem, and discrepancy scores between real self image and two ideal-images: ‘social ideal self’,‘individual ideal self’, by SD self-concept scale, it was clear that the individuation process on emotional aspect, and the socialization process on the cognitive one could be observed.
