The Influence of Personal and Collective Self-Esteem on the Interpersonal and Inter-group Evaluations of Japanese University Students Brown, R. A. in-group bias inter-group perception self-concept self-esteem self-effacement A sample of 236 Japanese college students evaluated themselves, two in-groups, and two outgroups,on five positive and five negative traits. They also completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scaleand two subscales of the Luhtanen & Crocker Collective Self-Esteem Scale. The results revealed thatthe personal and collective self-esteem of Japanese college students is unaffected by perceptions of interpersonal or inter-group superiority or inferiority. It is therefore inferred that personal or group enhancement is not universally associated with personal or collective self-esteem. Individuals can maintain self-esteem without derogating out-groups or holding illusory "better than average" beliefs. Results also indicated that participants' interpersonal assessments varied depending on the specificity of the in-group serving as the comparison target (participants assessed themselves more positively than Japanese students in general, but less positively than their classmates in particular). departmental bulletin paper 文教大学 2007-01-01 VoR application/pdf 情報研究 36 1 16 Information and Communication Studies 03893367 https://bunkyo.repo.nii.ac.jp/record/3102/files/BKS0000091.pdf https://bunkyo.repo.nii.ac.jp/records/3102 eng
