The Meaning Maintenance Model: On the Coherence of Social Motivations (2006, background): “Likewise, it has been shown that people affirm their values more after they have been induced to make negative social comparisons or have written a counter-attitudinal essay (Tesser et al., 2000).”
Experimental manipulations of self-affirmation: A systematic review (2006, methodology): “Manipulation checks used by Tesser and colleagues (Tesser, Crepaz, Collins, Cornell, & Beach, 2000 ) or Harris and Napper ( 2005 ) may provide a starting point for measures designed to use judges' or participants' ratings of the qualities of self-affirming value essays, but we wonder whether they m”
Death and Black Diamonds: Meaning, Mortality, and the Meaning Maintenance Model (2006, background): “Last, research that shows that boosts in one domain of meaning weakens the effects of threats to meaning in other domains (e.g., Harmon-Jones et al., 1997; Mikulincer & Florian, 2002; Steele et al., 1993; Tesser et al., 2000) provides clear causal evidence that the effects are substitutable, and thu”
Self-Enhancement Tendencies Among People With High Explicit Self-Esteem: The Moderating Role of Implicit Self-Esteem (2003, background): “According to Tesser and his colleagues, a variety of self-protective mechanisms—such as social comparison and self-affirmation—can be utilized interchangeably to help the individual restore a satisfactory level of self-esteem or self-integrity following an ego threat ( Tesser, Crepaz, Beach, Cornell”
On the Plasticity of Self-Defense (2001, background): “Additional research has also confirmed that cognitive dissonance can affect self-affirmation and that social comparison can affect self-affirmation and cognitive dissonance (Tesser et al., 2000).”
POWER INFLUENCES SELF-ESTEEM (2007, background): “1983), recalling self–flattering memories decreases value affirmation while self–defeating memories increase value affirmation ( Tesser, Crepaz, Collins, Cornell, & Beach, 2000 ), and self–affirmation decreases overconfidence in opinions (Blanton, Pelham, DeHart, & Carvallo, 2001).”
Offensive Defensiveness: Toward an Integrative Neuroscience of Compensatory Zeal After Mortality Salience, Personal Uncertainty, and Other Poignant Self-Threats (2006, background): “Cognitive dissonance induced by tricking participants to freely advocate an odious opinion caused them to more zealously defend their most important personal values (Tesser et al., 2000), and to exaggerate perceptions of social consensus for their opinions about social issues (McGregor & Nail, 2005)”
God and the government: testing a compensatory control mechanism for the support of external systems. (2008, background): “, 2004), cognitive consistency (Tesser et al., 2000), and belief in a just world (Lerner, 1980), similar processes of defensive zeal and conviction often ensue.”
Pleasure as a sign you can attend to something else: Placing positive feelings within a general model of affect (2003, background): “…positive self-beliefs and experiences (e.g., self-affirmation) act as resources that permit people to confront problematic situations such as health threats (see also Aspinwall, 1998; Isen, 2000; Tesser et al., 2000; for even broader resource models see Hobfoll, 1989; Muraven & Baumeister, 2000).”
There Are Plenty of Fish in the Sea: The Effects of Choice Overload and Reversibility on Online Daters’ Satisfaction With Selected Partners (2017, background): “Further, ego-protective mechanisms are theorized to be mutually redundant, in that having multiple mechanisms activated at the same time does not supply more wellbeing than having just one activated (Gilbert et al., 1998; Tesser et al., 2000; Vaillant, 1993).”
On the Confluence of Self-Esteem Maintenance Mechanisms (2000, background): “There is now at least some evidence that all of our exemplar self-regulation mechanisms reciprocally affect one another (Tesser et al., 2000).”
The Compensatory Consumer Behavior Model: How self-discrepancies drive consumer behavior (2017, background): “This cognitive inconsistency can be resolved in several ways (Tesser et al., 2000).”
