 note = {The present study explored the possibility that Japanese self-esteem is situation-sensitive to a greater degree than is that of Americans, and that Japanese therefore have greater difficulties assessing themselves globally. Ninety-eight Japanese and 101 American college students completed the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES) in two versions, one with a "depends on the situation" response option, the other without it, in addition to "agree," "disagree," and "unsure." The Japanese students described their self-esteem as situation-sensitive to a greater degree than did the Americans students. They were also significantly more unsure and more inclined to endorse negative RSES items.},
