Suppose our experienced male teacher is also a faithful husband who finds out that his wife is having an affair, and after confronting her with the information, she states that she wants a divorce. Consider how his self-schema may change in the midst of this traumatic experience. He is forced by the situation to eliminate those characteristics that do not fit anymore, such as "happily married" and perhaps even "trusting."

This is illustrative of which of the following concept.
a) Identity regulation
b) Identity restraint
