高自尊(HSE)越来越被认为是异质性的。通过测量HSE亚型,本研究重新评估了HSE个体在自我威胁后表现出不良自我调节的发现(Baumeister,Heatherton,& Tice,1993)。在实验1中,只有当HSE参与者也具有防御性(自我呈现偏见高)时,他们在自我威胁后才会表现出较差的自我调节能力。在实验二中,两个措施-自我呈现偏见和内隐自尊-被用来亚型HSE个人作为防御。这两个操作的防御HSE预测自我威胁后自我调节差。结果表明:(a)只有防御型HSE个体在自我威胁后更容易出现自我调节失败;(B)自我呈现偏差和内隐自尊都可以用来检测防御性。
High self-esteem (HSE) is increasingly recognized as heterogeneous. By measuring subtypes of HSE, the present research reevaluates the finding that HSE individuals show poor self-regulation following ego threat (Baumeister, Heatherton, & Tice, 1993). In Experiment 1, participants with HSE showed poor self-regulation after ego threat only if they also were defensive (high in self-presentation bias). In Experiment 2, two measures—self-presentation bias and implicit self-esteem—were used to subtype HSE individuals as defensive. Both operationalizations of defensive HSE predicted poor self-regulation after ego threat. The results indicate that (a) only defensive HSE individuals are prone to self-regulation failure following ego threat and (b) measures of self-presentation bias and implicit self-esteem can both be used to detect defensiveness.
