Authentic Leadership: An Empirical Test of Its Antecedents, Consequences, and Mediating Mechanisms (2011, background): “Concordantly, persons who showed congruence between their implicit and explicit self-esteem reported more pleasant affect than their less congruent peers (Robinson et al. 2003) and were perceived as getting sick less often by their close friends (Bosson et al. 2000).”
Self-Esteem Issues and Answers (2013, methodology): “In general, responses on the name-letter task correlate more strongly with direct measures than with implicit measures of self-esteem (Bosson et al., 2000; Jones, Pelham, Mirenberg, & Hetts, 2002), suggesting that the name-letter effect may capture aspects of the explicit self-esteem construct.”
Automatic attitudes and alcohol: Does implicit liking predict drinking? (2008, result): “The lack of correlation is consistent with prior research showing little or no correlation between different implicit measures (Bosson et al., 2000; Sherman et al., 2003).”
Self‐esteem: a behavioural genetic perspective (2002, background): “Although the study of implicit selfesteem is a burgeoning enterprise, the validity of implicit self-esteem measures is currently in question (Bosson et al., 2000).”
I like it, because I like myself: Associative self-anchoring and post-decisional change of implicit evaluations (2007, background): “Given that most people’s implicit self-evaluation is highly positive (Bosson et al., 2000; Greenwald & Farnham, 2000; Koole et al., 2001), this process of associative self-anchoring may be suYcient to produce an implicit preference for ingroups over outgroups in minimal group settings (see Otten, 20”
Secure and defensive high self-esteem. (2003, background): “For example, the SE IAT predicts responses to success and failure (Greenwald & Farnham, 2001), the experience of positive emotions (Bosson et al., 2000), and persistence in the face of failure (Jordan et al.”
Using the implicit association test to measure self-esteem and self-concept. (2000, background): “Test-retest reliabilities of r = .65 and r = .69 were reported. respectively, by Dasgupta and Greenwald (2000), and by Bosson et al. (2000).”
How to find what's in a name: Scrutinizing the optimality of five scoring algorithms for the name‐letter task (2009, background): “In line with these concerns, Bosson, Swann, and Pennebaker (2000) recommended that researchers should not use self-report self-esteem measures to validate ISE measures, but instead rely on indirect or nonconscious criterion measures.”
An inkblot for attitudes: affect misattribution as implicit measurement. (2005, methodology): “A set of 12 difference scores was created and treated as individual “items” (for a conceptually similar approach using reaction time variables, see Bosson et al., 2000).”
