Citations in the corpus

• Tactical Self-Enhancement in China (2011, methodology): “We assessed modesty with the 20-item Modest Responding Scale (Whetstone et al., 1992; also see Kurman, 2003; Kurman & Sriram, 2002).”
• Culture Moderates the Relation Between Perceived Stress, Social Support, and Mental and Physical Health (2016, background): “Vertical collectivism, observed and measured in East Asian cultures such as Korea, is associated with a tendency to value ingroups and social relationships, but to perceive those social relationships in a relatively hierarchical way (Kurman & Sriram, 2002; Triandis & Gelfand, 1998).”
• Why is Self-Enhancement Low in Certain Collectivist Cultures? (2003, background): “In line with this model, it was suggested that the need for positive selfregard exists in East Asian cultures as well, but its manifestation is restricted by the culture and specifically by cultural demands for modesty (Kurman, 2001; Kurman & Sriram, 2002).”
• Horizontal and Vertical Individualism and Achievement Values (2002, methodology): “All cultural differences noted were as expected and gender differences were in line with previous research (Kurman & Sriram, 2002).”
• Cronyism: a cross-cultural analysis (2006, background): “This dimension has gained increased attention in recent years (e.g., Kurman and Sriram, 2002; Nelson and Shavitt, 2002; Soh and Leong, 2002; Tjosvold et al., 2003).”
• On the panculturality of self-enhancement and self-protection motivation: the case for the universality of self-esteem (2015, background): “…reflected cross-cultural differences in modesty (Kurman, 2002; Study 2), modesty predicted negatively self-enhancement (academic self-evaluation; Kurman & Sriram, 2002), and modesty mediated (i.e., reduced) cultural influences on self-enhancement (academic self-evaluation, the BTAE; Kurman,…”
• Self‐esteem and culture: Differences in cognitive self‐evaluations or affective self‐regard? (2007, methodology): “We used this subscale because of its face validity and because Kurman and Sriram (2002) found it had the highest internal reliability of the three subscales that comprise the overall measure.”
• Behavioral Manifestations of Modesty (2009, background): “Cultural theories have suggested that self-enhancement varies across cultures, with higher levels in individualistic cultures and lower levels in collectivistic cultures (e.g., Kurman, 2001b, 2002, 2003; Kurman & Sriram, 1997, 2002; Kurman, Yoshihara-Tanaka, & Elkoshi, 2003).”
• Research on leadership in a cross-cultural context: Making progress, and raising new questions (2003, background): “Also, in a study among three groups of high school students, modesty was positively related to VC (Kurman & Sriram, 2002).”
