%X In
this study, effects of self-esteem on self-faces recognition toward four types of
faces were evaluated by eye movements tracking within a self-face recognition paradigm.
RosenbergĄ¯s Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) was used to assess self-esteem level of participants,
high (n = 16) and low (n = 16) self-esteem undergraduates participated in it. Participants completed
a self-face recognition task wherein eye movements were recorded during the presentation
of self-face, partnerĄ¯s face, famous face and stranger face. Findings showed that
high self-esteem group pay more attention to self-face, partnerĄ¯ face and famous
face than unfamiliar face; low self-esteem individuals, however, pay the same attention
to all categories. These results not only enriched the research
about the self-esteem, but also the self-face recognition.
