Abstract Koole, S. L. & DeHart, T. (2007). Self-affection without self-reflection: Origins, models, and consequences of implicit self-esteem. In C. Sedikides & S. Spencer (Eds.), The Self in Social Psychology. (pp. 36-86). New York: Psychology Press.
Over the last 10 years or so, the study of implicit self-esteem has developed into a burgeoning area of psychological research. Our goal in the present chapter is to summarize some of the conclusions that have emerged from this work. In the following paragraphs, we begin by outlining the major methods and models that have guided implicit self-esteem research. We then consider recent findings with regard to three important aspects of implicit self-esteem. First, what are the social and developmental origins of implicit self-esteem? Second, what is the relation between implicit and explicit self-esteem? Third, what are the consequences of implicit self-esteem for psychological functioning? After covering these various issues, we summarize our main conclusions and suggest some possible avenues for future research on implicit self-esteem.
