Reliability of Implicit Self–Esteem Measures Revisited

2011

This study investigated the internal consistencies and temporal stabilities of different implicit self–esteem measures. Participants ( N = 101) responded twice—with a time lag of 4 weeks—to five different tasks: the Implicit Association Test (IAT), the Brief Implicit Association Test (BIAT), the Affective Priming Task (APT), the Identification–Extrinsic Affective Simon Task (ID–EAST) and the Name–Letter Task (NLT). As expected, the highest reliability coefficients were obtained for the self–esteem IAT. Importantly, the internal consistencies and the temporal stabilities of the APT, the ID–EAST, and the NLT were substantially improved by using material, structural, and analytic innovations.…

Adolescent life satisfaction and relationship with adolescent self-esteem and school adjustment

2007

maranma2@alumni.uv.es Sofia.Buelga@uv.es Maria.J.Cava@uv.es El objetivo de este estudio es analizar la relación entre variables escolares (ajuste social valorado por el profesor y clima social en el aula) e indicadores de ajuste psicosocial en adolescentes (autoestima, victimización y satisfacción con la vida). Participaron en el estudio 1319 adolescentes españoles de ambos sexos, con edades comprendidas entre los 11 y los 18 años. Se ha utilizado un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales para analizar los datos. Los resultados indican que existe una estrecha relación entre el ajuste social del alumno valorado por el profesor, el clima social percibido por el alumno y su grado de victimización.…

Rosenberg's self‐esteem scale: Two factors or method effects

1999

Self‐esteem is one of the most studied constructs in psychology. It has been measured with a variety of methods and instruments. Although Rosenberg's (1965) self‐report scale is one of the most widely used, empirical evidence on factor validity of this scale is somewhat contradictory, with either 1 or 2 factors. The results of this study suggest the existence of a global self‐esteem factor underlying responses to the scale, although the inclusion of method effects is needed to achieve a good model fit.

Marital conflict, parental support, and school adjustment in adolescents

2006

En el presente estudio se analiza la influencia del conflicto marital (ruptura de la relación y violencia como estrategias de resolución de conflictos) y del apoyo parental en el ajuste escolar a través de sus relaciones con la auto-estima social y la violencia escolar en adolescentes. Los participantes en el estudio fueron 733 adolescentes de cuatro centros educativos de la Comunidad Valenciana, con edades comprendidas entre los 11 y 16 años. Para los análisis se llevó a cabo un modelo de ecuaciones estructurales. Los resultados mostraron que el conflicto marital y el apoyo parental se relacionan indirectamente con el ajuste escolar a través de la auto-estima social y la violencia escolar.…

Maternal attachment style and adolescents' self-esteem

2009

Objectives: the study is aimed to verify the incidence of maternal relationship styles on adolescents’ self-esteem and their predisposition towards anxiety. Methods Participants: 250 mother-son/daughter couples. Adolescents aged between 14 and 18 years. Measurements: a brief form of Bracken’s Self-Concept Scale (Manna, Mirisola, Boca, 2005); Endler Multidimensional Anxiety Scales (Endler, Edwards, Vitelli, 1996); Attachment Style Questionnaire (Feeney, Noller, Hanrahan, 1996). Procedure: Questionnaires were collectively administered to adolescents during school lessons. Mothers filled out the Attachment Style Questionnaire individually.

Il legame di attaccamento ai genitori e ai pari come predittore dell’autostima e dell’ego-resiliency.

2017

The aim of this study was to analyse the relationship between the quality of attachment relationships with parents and peers on the one hand, and ego-resiliency and self- esteem on the other hand. The present research was conducted with a group of 218 students (male = 101) aged from 11 to 19 years (M = 14.43, DS = 2.60). The results emphasize that (a) self-esteem is positively associated only with security of attachment to the mother, (b) ego-resil- iency is positively associated with security of attachment both to mother and peers, and (c) boys seem to have higher levels of self-esteem and ego-resiliency than girls.

Brain responses of dysphoric and control participants during a self‐esteem implicit association test

2021

Previous studies have reported lowered implicit self‐esteem at the behavioral level among depressed individuals. However, brain responses related to the lowered implicit self‐esteem have not been investigated in people with depression. Here, event‐related potentials were measured in 28 dysphoric participants (individuals with elevated amounts of depressive symptoms) and 30 control participants during performance of an implicit association task (IAT) suggested to reflect implicit self‐esteem. Despite equivalent behavioral performance, differences in brain responses were observed between the dysphoric and the control groups in late positive component (LPC) within 400–1,000 ms poststimulus lat…
