The current research aims to identify the possible self of university students and the differences in the level of possible self of students in terms of gender, specialization (scientific-humanitarian), and the interaction between them. In order to achieve the objectives of the current research, the two researchers have prepared a scale of the possible self, based on the theory (Markus and Nurius, 1986). The research tool was applied to a sample of (400) male and female students who were selected through a random stratified method from Al-Mustansiriya University students/morning studies for the academic year (2019-2020). The researcher reached the following results: the research sample has a high level of possible self; there is a difference in statistical significance in the possible self in favor of females. Additionally, there is no statistically significant difference in the possible self, according to the specialization; there is a significant difference between gender and specialization in terms of the possible self. Finally, the researchers recommend conducting courses and holding seminars for university students in order to help them to understand the possible self in its domains
(hoped, expected, and fear), as well as, he suggested exploring the relationship between possible self to some variables such as (identity patterns, level of ambition).
