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. %K Self-Esteem %K Eye Movement %K Self-Face Recognition %K Pupil Size %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=40321
