The correct answer is differentiated.

Having a differentiated self-concept refers to the extent to which different categories of self-concept are distinguishable from one another. In this instance, Aaron has a differentiated self-concept because while he sees himself as being perceived as someone who does not care about school, he also knows that he studies diligently at night and thinks that school is important.
