• Self-Enhancement: Food for Thought (2008, background): “The issue has evoked considerable controversy (J.D. Brown & Kobayashi, 2002; Heine, 2003, 2005; Sedikides et al., 2003).”
• Tactical Self-Enhancement in China (2011, background): “…perceptions in Western and Eastern cultures (Yamaguchi et al., 2007) as well as (b) explicit measures employed in studies capable of detecting the tactical nature of self-enhancement (Brown & Kobayashi, 2002; Sedikides, Gaertner, & Toguchi, 2003; Sedikides, Gaertner, & Vevea, 2005, 2007a, 2007b).”
• Psychological universals: what are they and how can we know? (2005, background): “This lack of selfenhancement among East Asians does not appear to be due to experimental artifacts (for reviews of debates about these artifacts see Heine, 2003, 2005b; Heine et al., 1999; but for a dissenting view see J. D. Brown & Kobayashi, 2002).”
• On the panculturality of self-enhancement and self-protection motivation: the case for the universality of self-esteem (2015, background): “Finally, egocentrism cannot explain (1) why the BTAE emerges (Alicke & Govorun, 2005), and does so crossculturally (Brown & Kobayashi, 2002, 2003), not only with direct measures (participants rating the self against peers on a single scale), but also with indirect measures (participants rating the…”
• Prospects for an integrated trait and cultural psychology (2009, background): “In other findings, there were no cultural differences in the tendency to self-enhance for agentic traits versus communal traits, as predicted by some theorists (Brown & Kobayashi, 2002; Kurman, 2001; Paulhus & John, 1998).”
• Self‐esteem and culture: Differences in cognitive self‐evaluations or affective self‐regard? (2007, background): “It was only in comparison with the highly favourable self-views of Westerners that they appeared self-deprecating (see also Falbo et al., 1997; Brown & Kobayashi, 2002; Sedikides et al., 2003).”
• Self-Esteem and Self-Enhancement in Japan and America (2003, methodology): “On the other hand, best friends are part of the extended self, and evidence that Japanese exalt their best friends could indicate that they are more apt to display indirect forms of self-enhancement than are Americans (Brown et al., 1988; Brown & Kobayashi, 2002).”
