研究1探讨了在何种程度上的稳定性和自尊水平预测的认知和情感反应的人际反馈。在高自尊个体中，不稳定性与接受和积极的情绪后，积极的反馈，但拒绝和防御后，消极的反馈。在低自尊的人，不稳定性是无关的积极反馈的反应，但与较少的防御性和更大的接受负反馈。研究2探讨了具体的自我评价的可变性和重要性与全球自尊的不稳定性的程度。讨论的重点是自尊水平和稳定性在对评价的反应中的作用以及稳定性中自尊的性质。
Study 1 examined the extent to which stability and level of self-esteem predicted cognitive and emotional reactions to interpersonal feedback. Among high self-esteem individuals, instability was associated with acceptance and positive emotions following positive feedback but to rejection and defensiveness following negative feedback. Among low self-esteem individuals, instability was unrelated to reactions to positive feedback but was related to less defensiveness and greater acceptance of negative feedback. Study 2 examined the extent to which variability and importance of specific self-evaluations were associated with instability of global self-esteem. Discussion focused on the roles of level and stability of self-esteem in reactions to evaluations and on the nature of self-esteem in stability.
