Self-esteem and the Dual Processing of Interpersonal Contingencies

Social Intelligence and Communication Competence: Predictors of Students’ Intercultural Sensitivity

“…Moreover, those with high self-esteem would not only feel confident in themselves but also feel accepted by others, regardless of success or failure (Baldwin et al, 2004). According to Foote and Cottrell (1955) culturally sensitive people usually show higher degrees of self-esteem because they have an optimistic outlook that instills confidence in interaction with others.…”

Social threat appeals in commercial advertising: The moderating impact of perceived level of self-efficacy and self-esteem on advertising effectiveness

“…Although quite some empirical evidence has been found for the EPPM, more empirical research is needed on the potential moderating variables, such as personality traits that might influence the mechanism of the EPPM (e.g., Cauberghe, De Pelsmacker, Janssens, and Dens, 2009;Mowen et al, 2004;Ruiter, Verplanken, De Cremer, and Kok, 2004). Because self-esteem is associated with the quality and dynamics of social relations and feelings related to interpersonal acceptance and rejection (Baldwin, Baccus, and Fitzsimons, 2004), we further investigate whether the impact of high versus low perceived (self-)efficacy in a social fearful condition versus a social positive condition with no threat is different for people with high versus low self-esteem.…”

“…According to sociometer theory, an individual's selfesteem serves as an indicator for one's social inclusion and fluctuates as a function of the degree to which one feels valued by others (Leary, Tambor, Terdal, and Downs, 1995). Consequently, self-esteem is especially relevant in the context of social threat appeals, as it reflects an individual's assessment of his or her social achievements, and accordingly his or her vulnerability to social threats (Baldwin et al, 2004). More specifically, previous studies have shown that especially low self-esteem individuals pay more attention to social threat appeals and are more vulnerable to social rejection (Gyurak and Ayduk, 2007;.…”

Exploring the dynamic nature of “us”: An integrative approach to relationship cognition

“…Similarly, another study suggests that individuals with low self-esteem have stronger links between performance and social outcomes (Baldwin & Sinclair, 1996). In fact, research suggests that insecurity can be triggered by the expectancies contained in an individual's relational schema even within the first milliseconds of thinking about a social event (Baldwin, Baccus, & Fitzsimons, 2004;Baldwin & Dandeneau, 2005), which demonstrates how immediately influential an individual's relational schemas can be.A great deal of research has also examined how relational schemas may be primed in everyday experience, thus influencing the way an individual interprets an event. These studies have shown that relational schemas can in fact be primed (e.g., by having a person imagine a significant other), which then can affect self-evaluation, self-regulation, and future behavior (Baldwin & Holmes, 1987;Baldwin & Sinclair, 1996).…”
