Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The self-discrepancy theory proposes that different types of self-discrepancies will result in different kinds of psychological discomforts, including dejection-related emotions (such as disappointment, dissatisfaction, and shame) and agitation-related emotions (such as fear, guilt, and self-contempt; Higgins, 1987).

Detailed explanation-2: -Self-discrepancy refers to the gap between the actual self and the self-guide. According to self-discrepancy theory, the greater an individual’s self-discrepancy is, the more discomforts he or she will suffer (Higgins, 1987, 1989).

Detailed explanation-3: -A discrepancy between these self-guides occurs when one’s view of their actual attributes do not meet the expectations of what they think they ought to possess. This discrepancy is associated with the presence of negative outcomes and is characterized by agitation-related emotions such as self-dissatisfaction.

Detailed explanation-4: -Discrepancies between the actual and ideal/ought selves can be motivating in some ways and prompt people to act for self-improvement. For example, if your ought self should volunteer more for the local animal shelter, then your actual self may be more inclined to do so.
