 note = {A considerable part of the debate over whether Japanese do or do not self-enhance, and hence whether self-enhancement universally serves the purpose of self-esteem maintenance, revolves around the question of the "veridicality" of the responses of the Japanese participants. Participants are generally promised anonymity in exchange for honesty. However, in such cases, there typically is no comparison group. The present article reports a study in which 19 self-evaluations of anonymous Japanese college student respondents are compared with the self-evaluations of non-anonymous respondents. Results indicate that the responses of the two groups did not differ in any significant way and that therefore "feigned modesty" is not greatly influencing the veridicality of Japanese self-reports.},
