Reading: Increasing classical conditional

implicit

self-esteem

through

A persons level of self-esteem is typically viewed as the sum of his or her conscious self-evaluative thoughts and feelings.

Notably, research has shown that implicit self-esteem is better than explicit sef-esteem in predicting observer-rated

nonverbal anxiety and negative mood in response to

threatening feedback, as well as persistence at tasks and socially undesirable behaviour in response to failure.

 Because feelings of low self-esteem based in

social insecurity have been liked to aggressive behaviour, we predicted individuals with low self-esteem would show less evidence of selfreported aggressive thoughts and feelings if

they

underwent

the

self-acceptance

conditioning procedure than if they were in a control condition.
