Linking adult attachment to self-esteem stability (2007, unknown): “These include implicit self-esteem (Bosson, Brown, Zeigler-Hill, & Swann, 2003 ; Jordan, Spencer, & Zanna, 2002 ; Pelham, Koole, Hardin, Hetts, Seah, & DeHart, 2005 ), contingent self-esteem (Crocker & Wolfe, 2001 ; Neighbors, Larimer, Geisner, & Knee, 2004), and stability of self-esteem (Kernis”
Self-Esteem Issues and Answers (2013, methodology): “If so, nonreactive measures may reveal aspects of self-esteem not captured by self-reports, as evidenced by recent findings (Aidman, 1999; Bosson et al., 2003; Jordan et al., 2003; Kitayama & Karasawa, 1997; Spalding & Hardin, 1999).”
What lies beneath: Parenting style and implicit self-esteem. (2006, methodology): “…instance, separate research using the Implicit Association Test and the name-letter measure has linked high explicit and low implicit self-esteem with greater defensiveness and higher levels of narcissism (see Bosson et al., 2003, for name-letter Wndings; see Jordan et al., 2003, for IAT Wndings).”
Authentic and Hubristic Pride: The Affective Core of Self-esteem and Narcissism (2009, background): “Individuals who do not show such dissociations between implicit and explicit self-views have more stable self-esteem (Zeigler-Hill, 2006), do not become defensive in the face of threat, and are less likely to self-enhance (Bosson et al., 2003).”
The Connections Between Self-Esteem and Psychopathology (2011, background): “Individuals with discrepant high selfesteem have been found to display self-enhancing tendencies ( Bosson et al. 2003 ), verbal defensiveness (Kernis et al. 2008), self-protective strategies (Jordan et al. 2003), and fluctuations in moment-to-moment feelings of selfworth (Zeigler-Hill 2006).”
How to find what's in a name: Scrutinizing the optimality of five scoring algorithms for the name‐letter task (2009, background): “…Raedt et al., 2006; Franck et al., 2007), physical health (Shimizu & Pelham, 2004), social acceptance (Baccus et al., 2004), unrealistic optimism (Bosson et al., 2003), feedback sensitivity (Dijksterhuis, 2004), self-regulation (Jones et al., 2002) and defensiveness (Schröder-Abé et al., 2007).”
High implicit self‐esteem is not necessarily advantageous: discrepancies between explicit and implicit self‐esteem and their relationship with anger expression and psychological health (2007, background): “self-enhancement (Bosson et al., 2003), defensiveness (Jordan et al.”
More than meets the eye: The influence of implicit and explicit self-esteem on materialism (2011, background): “To deal with this psychological discomfort, individuals exhibit a variety of behaviors intended to enhance judgments about the self (Bosson et al., 2003; Brinol et al., 2006; Kernis et al., 2005; Petty & Brinol, 2009; Spencer et al., 2005).”
Autonomy and control motivation and self-esteem (2007, unknown): “Although this discrepancy has been called various names, including defensive SE (Bosson et al., 2003; Jordan et al., 2003b) and defensive pride (McGregor, Nail, Marigold, & Kang, 2005), we chose defensive SE because, as described above, it predicts various defensive behaviors.”
Unraveling respect in organization studies (2014, background): “People who experience appraisal respect but little recognition respect shift their focus of commitment and effort toward the source of esteem, reflected in the high quality of their work because explicit self-esteem is cognitive and accessible (Bosson et al., 2003).”
Secure and defensive high self-esteem. (2003, result): “, Bosson et al., 2000; Farnham, Greenwald, & Banaji, 1999). Because knowing an individual’s level of explicit SE tells us virtually nothing about his or her level of implicit SE, many individuals who report positive self-views may also possess relatively negative implicit self-views.
