Mnemic neglect: Selective amnesia of one’s faults (2016, background): “In the first, Sedikides and Green (2004) examined the putative influence of expectancy strength manipulations on mnemic neglect.”
On the panculturality of self-enhancement and self-protection motivation: the case for the universality of self-esteem (2015, background): “We focus on self-enhancement and self-protection, as these motives have had a prominent status in the field and are comparatively influential (Baumeister, 1998; Brown, 1998; Sedikides, 1993; Sedikides & Green, 2004).”
Memory as a self-protective mechanism (2009, methodology): “However, this is not what we (Sedikides & Green, 2004, Experiment 1) found.”
The psychology of emotion regulation: An integrative review (2009, unknown): “…information (Liberman & Chaiken, 1992), trivialise the information (Simon, Greenberg, & Brehm, 1995), selectively forget the information (Sedikides & Green, 2004), make self-serving attributions (Campbell & Sedikides, 1999), inflate their self-conceptions in a non-threatened domain…”
Self-Enhancement: Food for Thought (2008, background): “People preferentially forget negative feedback about themselves (Sanitioso & Wlodarski, 2004), specifically in domains that matter to them (Sedikides & Green, 2000), even when that feedback is hypothetical (Green& Sedikides, 2004; Sedikides & Green, 2004).”
Self-enhancement and self-protection: What they are and what they do (2009, background): “Finally, expectancies do not account for the data (but selfenhancement/self-protection explanations do), when expectancies are experimentally controlled or manipulated (Alicke et al., 2001; Sedikides & Green, 2004).”
A Three-Tier Hierarchy of Self-Potency: Individual Self, Relational Self, Collective Self (2013, background): “Persons, for example, actively focus on desirable attributes and shun undesirable attributes when contemplating core self-attributes (Sedikides & Green, 2004), while selectively engaging in tasks diagnostic of desirable core self-attributes and avoiding tasks diagnostic of undesirable core…”
Forgotten but not gone: the recall and recognition of self-threatening memories (2008, unknown): “Our prior research has established that self-threat drives the mnemic neglect effect (Green & Sedikides, 2004; Green et al., 2005; Sedikides & Green, 2000, 2004).”
