• Sociometer theory and the pursuit of relational value: Getting to the root of self-esteem (2005, background): “As noted, MacDonald et al. (2003) found that people’s beliefs about their personal attributes predicted their self-esteem to the degree that they believed these attributes were associated with acceptance and rejection by other people.”
• Self-esteem is dominated by agentic over communal information (2011, methodology): “For example, MacDonald, Saltzman, and Leary (2003) asked their participants for specific evaluations of their competence, physical attractiveness, material possessions, sociability, and morality and then used these evaluations as self-esteem predictors in a simultaneous regression analysis.”
