Fig. 2: Effects of self-esteem on task ratings and performance.
From: Low self-esteem and the formation of global self-performance estimates in emerging adulthood
a A 2 × 2 × 2 repeated-measures ANOVA revealed a main effect of self-esteem status on task ratings, indicating lower self-performance estimates in participants with low self-esteem. Difficulty (Easy, Diff) and Feedback (Feedback, No–Feedback) were within-subject factors and self-esteem was a between-subject factor (see Methods and Results). Circles and error bars represent mean and SEM across participants (N = 28 with high self-esteem and N = 29 with low self-esteem), and dots indicate individual data points. b Average objective performance across all conditions for high and low self-esteem groups separately. Bars and error bars indicate mean and SEM across participants and dots indicate individual data points. n.s. not significant (two-sample t-test, t55 = 1.29, p = 0.20).
