To date, self-concept clarity has been conceptualized as a conscious belief about oneself. The aim of the study was to explore whether self-concept clarity is related to implicit self-concept clarity and whether implicit self-concept clarity is related to psychological adjustment. The Implicit Association Test (IAT) was adapted to measure implicit self-concept clarity. The explicit and implicit self-concept clarity measures were administered along with explicit self-esteem, implicit self-esteem and psychological distress measures to 111 Polish students aged 19–35. No relationship between explicit and implicit self-concept clarity was found. There was no association between implicit self-concept clarity and implicit-explicit clarity interaction and adjustment variables. Implications of the results are discussed.
