高度自尊的人倾向于对自己做出夸大的评估和预测，这带来了做出超出能力的承诺的风险，从而导致失败。SS在一个框架中选择他们的绩效应急方案，在这个框架中，更大的回报与更大的失败风险联系在一起。在没有自我威胁的情况下，高自尊的学生表现出更强的自我调节能力：他们设定了适当的目标并有效地完成了任务。然而，自我威胁会导致高自尊的学生设定不适当的、高风险的目标，这些目标超出了他们的表现能力，因此他们最终得到的回报比自尊低的学生要小。结果表明，让自我幻想干扰自我调节过程是危险的。
The tendency for people with high self-esteem to make inflated assessments and predictions about themselves carries the risk of making commitments that exceed capabilities, thus leading to failure. Ss chose their performance contingencies in a framework where larger rewards were linked to a greater risk of failure. In the absence of ego threat, Ss with high self-esteem showed superior self-regulation: They set appropriate goals and performed effectively. Ego threat, however, caused Ss with high self-esteem to set inappropriate, risky goals that were beyond their performance capabilities so they ended up with smaller rewards than Ss with low self-esteem. The results indicate the danger of letting egotistical illusions interfere with self-regulation processes.
