THE EFFECT OF IMPLICIT SELF -ESTEEM AND THE RELATIONSHIP OF EXPLICIT SELF-ESTEEM AND IMPLICIT SELF-ESTEEM
内隐自尊效应及内隐自尊与外显自尊的关系

Both an evaluative Implicit Association Test (IAT) and an affective one were designed to measure implicit self esteem.90 undergraduates took both IATs and also accepted three explicit self esteem measures: the Self Esteem Scale(SES,Rosenberg,1965),the Feeling of Inadequacy Scale(FIS, Janis, Field,1959),the Self Esteem Inventory(SEI, Coopersmith ,1967) . Then Confirmatory Factor Analysis was carried out to explore the structure of implicit self esteem and explicit self esteem. The results showed: (1) the effect of Implicit Association Test was significant which means that eastern individuals hold a positive evaluation to themselves unconciously and IAT was valid to detect the effect; (2) Implicit self esteem and explicit self esteem were different traits , the correlation between them was positive andlow.
