一种研究传统区分了自欺欺人，即倾向于给出有偏见但诚实的自我描述，而不是印象管理，倾向于给别人有利的自我描述。第二个传统有突出的强化，即主张积极的属性，而不是否认，否定消极的属性。在三项研究中，共有937名本科生对这两种差异进行了联合评估。因素分析表明，印象管理项目(强化和否认)共同加载。自我欺骗项目分成两个部分：增强项目是第二个因素，而否认项目则更接近印象管理因素。在4种类型中，自欺性增强的预测性调整效果最好。这些结果阐明了强化和否认的概念。关键的区别不是简单的键控方向，而是项目内容是指积极的还是消极的属性。
One research tradition has distinguished self-deception, the tendency to give favorably biased but honestly held self-descriptions from impression management, the tendency to give favorable self-descriptions to others. A 2nd tradition has distinguished enhancement, the claiming of positive attributes, from denial, the repudiation of negative attributes. The 2 distinctions were evaluated jointly in 3 studies with a total of 937 undergraduates. Factor analyses showed that impression management items (both enhancement and denial) loaded together. Self-deception items split up: Enhancement items formed a 2nd factor, whereas denial items fell closer to the impression management factor. Of the 4 types, self-deceptive enhancement best predicted adjustment. These results clarify the constructs of enhancement and denial. The critical distinction is not simply one of keying direction but whether the item content refers to a positive or negative attribute.(PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
