 note = {Japanese people typically score low on explicit measures of self-esteem, such as the Rosenberg selfesteem scale. Modest self-presentation has been offered as a possible explanation. The present research provides evidence that modesty is indeed implicated, but is not solely responsible for low Japanese self-esteem scores. Samples of 449 and 122 Japanese college students participated. Results indicate that modesty is a highly valued characteristic, while immodesty is disdained and that modesty, sandbagging, fear of negative evaluation, and self-concept clarity were significantly associated with self-esteem. It is concluded that expressions of Japanese self-esteem may be impacted by a variety of factors, including but not limited to self-concept clarity, sandbagging, modesty, and fear of negative evaluation.},
