However, some individuals with eating disorders describe feeling "triggered" when mimicked. This study explores the effects of implicit non-verbal mimicry on individuals with a history of an eating disorder (ED-His) compared to healthy controls (HCs). METHOD: Women (N = 118, nED-His = 31; Mage = 21 years) participated in a laboratory task with a confederate trained to either discreetly mimic (Mimicry condition) or not mimic (No-Mimicry condition) the mannerisms of the participant. Participants rated the likability of the confederate and the smoothness of the interaction. RESULTS: Participants in the No-Mimicry condition rated the confederate as significantly more likable than in the Mimicry condition, and ED-His rated the confederate as more likable than HCs. ED-His in the Mimicry condition rated the interaction as less smooth than HCs, whereas this pattern was not found in the No-Mimicry condition. Among ED-His, longer disorder duration (≥ 3.87 years) was associated with less liking of a confederate who mimicked and more liking of a confederate who did not mimic. CONCLUSIONS: We discuss the implications of these findings for interpersonal therapeutic processes and group treatment settings for eating disorders. Our study on subtle, nonverbal mimicry revealed differences in social behavior for women with a history of an eating disorder compared to healthy women. For participants with an eating disorder history, a longer duration of illness was associated with a worse pattern of affiliation, reflected in lower liking of a mimicker. Further research on how diverging processes of affiliation may function to perpetuate the chronicity of eating disorders and implications for treatment is needed.}, Doi = {10.1186/s40337-022-00607-9}, Key = {fds364213} } @article{fds359575, Author = {Rosenfeld, DL and Balcetis, E and Bastian, B and Berkman, ET and Bosson, JK and Brannon, TN and Burrow, AL and Cameron, CD and Chen, S and Cook, JE and Crandall, C and Davidai, S and Dhont, K and Eastwick, PW and Gaither, SE and Gangestad, SW and Gilovich, T and Gray, K and Haines, EL and Haselton, MG and Haslam, N and Hodson, G and Hogg, MA and Hornsey, MJ and Huo, YJ and Joel, S and Kachanoff, FJ and Kraft-Todd, G and Leary, MR and Ledgerwood, A and Lee, RT and Loughnan, S and MacInnis, CC and Mann, T and Murray, DR and Parkinson, C and Pérez, EO and Pyszczynski, T and Ratner, K and Rothgerber, H and Rounds, JD and Schaller, M and Silver, RC and Spellman, BA and Strohminger, N and Swim, JK and Thoemmes, F and Urganci, B and Vandello, JA and Volz, S and Zayas, V and Tomiyama, AJ}, Title = {Psychological Science in the Wake of COVID-19: Social, Methodological, and Metascientific Considerations.}, Journal = {Perspectives on Psychological Science : a Journal of the Association for Psychological Science}, Volume = {17}, Number = {2}, Pages = {311-333}, Year = {2022}, Month = {March}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1745691621999374}, Abstract = {The COVID-19 pandemic has extensively changed the state of psychological science from what research questions psychologists can ask to which methodologies psychologists can use to investigate them. In this article, we offer a perspective on how to optimize new research in the pandemic's wake. Because this pandemic is inherently a social phenomenon-an event that hinges on human-to-human contact-we focus on socially relevant subfields of psychology. We highlight specific psychological phenomena that have likely shifted as a result of the pandemic and discuss theoretical, methodological, and practical considerations of conducting research on these phenomena. After this discussion, we evaluate metascientific issues that have been amplified by the pandemic. We aim to demonstrate how theoretically grounded views on the COVID-19 pandemic can help make psychological science stronger-not weaker-in its wake.}, Doi = {10.1177/1745691621999374}, Key = {fds359575} } @article{fds359094, Author = {Allen, K-A and Gray, DL and Baumeister, RF and Leary, MR}, Title = {The Need to Belong: a Deep Dive into the Origins, Implications, and Future of a Foundational Construct.}, Journal = {Educational Psychology Review}, Volume = {34}, Number = {2}, Pages = {1133-1156}, Year = {2022}, Month = {January}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/s10648-021-09633-6}, Abstract = {The need to belong in human motivation is relevant for all academic disciplines that study human behavior, with immense importance to educational psychology.

Over half of all shooters had a history of psychological problems. More K-12 shooters than college or mass shooters displayed a history of rejection.

Study 2 involved the development of a measure of comfort zone orientation (CZO), the degree to which people value doing things outside of their comfort zone. Predictors of CZO reflected psychological influences on the value people place on stepping outside their comfort zone, including a desire for new and stimulating experiences, low anxiety, and self-efficacy. Study 3 was a laboratory experiment that examined the relationship between CZO and responses to an anxiety-producing task.

This study examines how the secret-keeper's relationship with the target relates to concealment among undergraduates (n = 292) and MTurk workers (n = 249). Participants rated keeping a personal secret as more detrimental to well-being when it involved greater concealment difficulty, rumination, and negative affect. For MTurk workers, this burden was compounded when the information was directly relevant to the target. Across both samples, participants in higher quality relationships kept their secrets to avoid shame or relationship damage and perceived less distance from the target.

This article examines the nature and function of these emotions, describes previously unpublished research findings, examines the central role of relational value in reactions to low acceptance and belonging, and applies these ideas to speculate about the nature and function of loneliness. KEY POINTS (1) Most negative social emotions--such as social anxiety, loneliness, hurt feelings, jealousy, and social sadness--are related to each other. (2) One connection among these emotions is that all are associated with a feeling of rejection or low belonging. (3) This article provides a retrospective look at the author’s work on social emotions over the past 40 years, providing an integrative model of emotional reactions to rejection. (4) Each of these emotions arises when people perceive that their relational value is low–that others do not adequately value having a relationship with them. (5) These emotions function to alert people to possible threats to belonging and acceptance and to motivate behaviors that maintain high relational value and take reparative actions when people perceive that their relational is low or declining.}, Doi = {10.1080/00049530.2021.1883410}, Key = {fds356459} } @article{fds346494, Author = {Banker, CC and Leary, MR}, Title = {Hypo-Egoic Nonentitlement as a Feature of Humility.}, Journal = {Personality & Social Psychology Bulletin}, Volume = {46}, Number = {5}, Pages = {738-753}, Year = {2020}, Month = {May}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/0146167219875144}, Abstract = {Two studies tested the hypothesis that humility is characterized by the belief that, no matter how extraordinary one's accomplishments or characteristics may be, one is not entitled to be treated special because of them (hypo-egoic nonentitlement). Participants identified either one (Study 1) or five (Study 2) positive accomplishments or characteristics, rated those accomplishments/characteristics, indicated how they believed they should be treated because of them, and completed measures of humility and related constructs. As predicted, humility was inversely associated with the belief that other people should treat one special because of one's accomplishments and positive characteristics. However, humility was not related to participants' ratings of the positivity of their accomplishments or characteristics or of themselves.

Although self-judgments of authenticity and inauthenticity are important to people, we know little about factors that influence people’s inferences about or reactions to their authenticity. Three studies examined beliefs about authenticity and the criteria people use to assess whether their actions are congruent with who they really are. Authenticity beliefs fell into three categories that: (a) require strict behavioral and attitudinal congruence across time and situations, (b) allow behavioral and attitudinal flexibility across time and situations, and (c) view all behaviors as inevitably authentic. Study 1 showed that these three construals of authenticity correlated in meaningful ways with views about authenticity and behavioral variability. In Study 2, inducing the belief that all behavior is authentic led participants to feel more authentic. Study 3 challenged participants’ reasons for feeling inauthentic, which led them to feel more authentic and confirmed the use of these criteria to judge authenticity. Results showed that self-judgments of authenticity were affected by factors unrelated to self-congruence per se, such as the positivity of the behavior and the stringency of their construals of authenticity.}, Doi = {10.1080/15298868.2018.1526109}, Key = {fds339302} } @article{fds346926, Author = {Leary, MR}, Title = {Hypo-egoic identity, prejudice, and intergroup relations}, Journal = {Tpm Testing, Psychometrics, Methodology in Applied Psychology}, Volume = {26}, Number = {3}, Pages = {335-346}, Year = {2019}, Month = {September}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.4473/TPM26.3.1}, Abstract = {People’s identities are based primarily on characteristics that distinguish them from other people.

In two studies, believing in oneness was associated with having an identity that includes distal people and the natural world, feeling connected to humanity and nature, and having values that focus on other people’s welfare. However, the belief was not associated with a lower focus on oneself or one’s concerns. Participants who believed in oneness tended to view themselves as spiritual but not necessarily religious, and reported experiences in which they directly perceived everything as one.

To investigate whether self-compassion relates to threat-regulatory mechanisms at the neural level of analysis, we conducted a functional MRI study in a sample of college-aged students. We hypothesized that self-compassion would relate to greater negative connectivity between the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (VMPFC) and amygdala during a social feedback task. Interestingly, we found a negative correlation between self-compassion and VMPFC-amygdala functional connectivity as predicted; however, this seemed to be due to low levels of self-compassion relating to greater positive connectivity in this circuit (rather than high levels of self-compassion relating to more negative connectivity). We also found significant relationships with multiple subcomponents of self-compassion (Common Humanity, Self-Judgment).

Explanations that invoke motives to maintain certain intrapsychic states offer a dramatically different view of the psychological foundations of human behavior than those that posit motives to obtain desired interpersonal outcomes. Several phenomena are examined as exemplars of instances in which interpersonal and intrapsychic motives have been inadequately distinguished, if not directly confounded, including cognitive dissonance, the self-esteem motive, biases in judgment and decision making, posttransgression accounts, authenticity, and self-conscious emotions.

Work or vocation is one domain in which self-concept is often entangled. For instance, many clergy fail to differentiate between who they are and what they do in their role as pastor, raising the question of whether transgressions that are relevant to the pastoral role evoke greater shame than transgressions in other domains.

Results demonstrated that higher shame, both in ministry situations and in secular situations, was associated with higher negative affect among seminarians and less satisfaction and more emotional exhaustion in ministry among clergy.

The similarity-attracts hypothesis predicts that people high in agency prefer attractiveness and status in mates, whereas those high in communion prefer warmth. However, these effects may be moderated by agentics' tendency to contrast from ambient culture, and communals' tendency to assimilate to ambient culture. Attending to such agentic-cultural-contrast and communal-cultural-assimilation crucially qualifies the similarity-attracts hypothesis. Data from 187,957 online-daters across 11 countries supported this model for each of the Big Three.

Self-compassion may be a particularly influential factor in pain adjustment for obese individuals who suffer from persistent pain, as they often experience heightened levels of pain and lower levels of psychological functioning. OBJECTIVES: The purpose of the present study was to examine the relationship of self-compassion to pain, psychological functioning, pain coping, and disability among patients who have persistent musculoskeletal pain and who are obese. METHODS: Eighty-eight obese patients with persistent pain completed a paper-and-pencil self-report assessment measure before or after their appointment with their anesthesiologist. RESULTS: Hierarchical linear regression analyses demonstrated that even after controlling for important demographic variables, self-compassion was a significant predictor of negative affect (β=-0.48, P<0.001), positive affect (β=0.29, P=0.01), pain catastrophizing (β=-0.32, P=0.003), and pain disability (β=-0.24, P<0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of this study indicate that self-compassion may be important in explaining the variability in pain adjustment among patients who have persistent musculoskeletal pain and are obese.}, Doi = {10.1016/j.jpainsymman.2011.04.014}, Key = {fds252534} } @article{fds252481, Author = {Leary, MR}, Title = {Toward a Conceptualization of Interpersonal Rejection}, Pages = {3-20}, Publisher = {Oxford University Press}, Year = {2012}, Month = {March}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195130157.003.0001}, Abstract = {Non-acceptance can be perceived as inadequate relationship value towards an individual.

Furthermore, although people's self-presentational profiles correlate moderately with their self-views, they tailor their public images to specific targets. The degree to which participants' self-presentations were normative and distinctive, as well as the extent to which they reflected their own self-views, were moderated by individual differences in agreeableness, self-esteem, authenticity, and Machiavellianism.}, Doi = {10.1037/a0023884}, Key = {fds252542} } @article{fds252543, Author = {Eisenberger, NI and Inagaki, TK and Muscatell, KA and Byrne Haltom, KE and Leary, MR}, Title = {The neural sociometer: brain mechanisms underlying state self-esteem.}, Journal = {Journal of Cognitive Neuroscience}, Volume = {23}, Number = {11}, Pages = {3448-3455}, Year = {2011}, Month = {November}, ISSN = {0898-929X}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1162/jocn_a_00027}, Abstract = {On the basis of the importance of social connection for survival, humans may have evolved a "sociometer"-a mechanism that translates perceptions of rejection or acceptance into state self-esteem.

The approach of this chapter is decidedly social psychological in that it traces social anxiety to concerns that arise in the context of real, anticipated, and imagined interpersonal interactions. The chapter describes a refinement and extension of the self-presentational theory of social anxiety, a perspective that explains people's nervousness in social encounters in terms of their concerns about other people's perceptions of them. Although the self-presentation theory has fared well under the spotlight of empirical research, theoretical developments shed additional light on the self-presentational nature of social anxiety and provide a bridge by which one's understanding of social anxiety may be linked to other phenomena involving interpersonal motives, social emotions, and the self. These theoretical refinements do not contradict or refute self-presentation theory but rather take it to a deeper level, demonstrating precisely why it is that people worry so much about what other people think of them. © 2010 Elsevier Inc.

However, following these immediate responses, people's reactions are influenced by construals of the rejection experience that predict 3 distinct motives for prosocial, antisocial, and socially avoidant behavioral responses. The authors describe the relational, contextual, and dispositional factors that affect which motives determine people's reactions to a rejection experience and the ways in which these 3 motives may work at cross-purposes.

Because they have a capacity for self-awareness not shared by other animals, people can imagine themselves in the future, anticipate consequences, plan ahead, improve themselves, and perform many other behaviors that are uniquely characteristic of human beings. Yet, despite the obvious advantages of self-reflection, the capacity for self-thought comes at a high price as people's lives are adversely affected and their inner chatter interferes with their success, pollutes their relationships, and undermines their happiness. Indeed, self-relevant thought is responsible for most of the personal and social difficulties that human beings face as individuals and as a species. Among other things, the capacity for self-reflection distorts people's perceptions, leading them to make bad decisions based on faulty information. The self conjures up a great deal of personal suffering in the form of depression, anxiety, anger, envy, and other negative emotions by allowing people to ruminate about the past or imagine the future. Egocentrism and egotism blind people to their own shortcomings, promote self-serving biases, and undermine their relationships with others. The ability to self-reflect also underlies social conflict by leading people to separate themselves into ingroups and outgroups. Ironically, many sources of personal unhappiness - such as addictions, overeating, unsafe sex, infidelity, and domestic violence - are due to people's inability to exert self-control. For those inclined toward religion and spirituality, visionaries throughout history have proclaimed that the egoic self stymies the quest for spiritual fulfillment and leads to immoral behavior.}, Doi = {10.1093/acprof:oso/9780195172423.001.0001}, Key = {fds252480} } @article{fds252551, Author = {Leary, MR and Tate, EB and Adams, CE and Allen, AB and Hancock, J}, Title = {Self-compassion and reactions to unpleasant self-relevant events: the implications of treating oneself kindly.}, Journal = {Journal of Personality and Social Psychology}, Volume = {92}, Number = {5}, Pages = {887-904}, Year = {2007}, Month = {May}, ISSN = {0022-3514}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17484611}, Abstract = {Five studies investigated the cognitive and emotional processes by which self-compassionate people deal with unpleasant life events.

Sociometer theory addresses many such questions by suggesting that self-esteem is part of a psychological system (the sociometer) that monitors the social environment for cues indicating low or declining relational evaluation (e.g., lack of interest, disapproval, rejection) and warns the individual when such cues are detected. The theory suggests that people are not motivated to maintain their self-esteem per se as has been typically assumed, but rather seek to increase their relational value and social acceptance, using self-esteem as a gauge of their effectiveness. The present chapter describes sociometer theory's perspective on self-esteem, reviews evidence relevant to the theory, and describes how it explains phenomena in which self-esteem has been implicated, including interpersonal emotion, social identity effects, intergroup behaviour, and clinical disorders.}, Doi = {10.1080/10463280540000007}, Key = {fds252550} } @article{fds252576, Author = {Leary, MR and Adams, CE and Tate, EB}, Title = {Hypo-egoic self-regulation: exercising self-control by diminishing the influence of the self.}, Journal = {Journal of Personality}, Volume = {74}, Number = {6}, Pages = {1803-1831}, Year = {2006}, Month = {December}, ISSN = {0022-3506}, url = {http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17083667}, Abstract = {Theory and research dealing with self-regulation have focused primarily on instances of self-regulation that involve high levels of self-reflection and effortful self-control.

An examination of spontaneously occurring hypo-egoic states (such as flow, deindividuation, and transcendence) suggests that hypo-egoic states are characterized by lowered self-awareness and/or an increase in concrete and present-focused self-thoughts. In light of this, people may intentionally foster hypo-egoism via two pathways-(a) taking steps to reduce the proportion of time that they are self-aware (such as repeating a behavior until it is automatic or practicing meditation) or (b) increasing the concreteness of their self-thoughts (such as inducing a concrete mindset or practicing mindfulness). In this way, people may deliberately choose to regulate hypo-egoically when effortful control might be detrimental to their performance.}, Doi = {10.1111/j.1467-6494.2006.00429.x}, Key = {fds252576} } @article{fds252527, Author = {Ginis, KAM and Leary, MR}, Title = {Single, physically active, female: The effects of information about exercise participation and body weight on perceptions of young women}, Journal = {Social Behavior and Personality: an International Journal}, Volume = {34}, Number = {8}, Pages = {979-990}, Publisher = {Scientific Journal Publishers Ltd}, Year = {2006}, Month = {October}, ISSN = {0301-2212}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.2224/sbp.2006.34.8.979}, Abstract = {This experiment examined whether information about a woman's body weight moderates the effects of information about her exercise habits on ratings of her personality and physical appearance.

Impression motivation is conceptualized as a function of 3 factors: the goal-relevance of the impressions one creates, the value of desired outcomes, and the discrepancy between current and desired images. The 2nd component involves impression construction. Five factors appear to determine the kinds of impressions people try to construct: the self-concept, desired and undesired identity images, role constraints, target's values, and current social image. The 2-component model provides coherence to the literature in the area, addresses controversial issues, and supplies a framework for future research regarding impression management.}, Doi = {10.1037/0033-2909.107.1.34}, Key = {fds252643} } @article{fds252573, Author = {Leary, MR}, Title = {Wanted: Half-baked ideas}, Journal = {Contemporary Social Psychology}, Volume = {14}, Pages = {48-49}, Year = {1990}, Key = {fds252573} } @article{fds252577, Author = {Rezek, PJ and Leary, MR}, Title = {Evaluation apprehension, hypochondriasis, and the strategic use of symptoms}, Journal = {Basic and Applied Social Psychology}, Volume = {11}, Number = {3}, Pages = {233-242}, Publisher = {Informa UK Limited}, Year = {1990}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1207/s15324834basp1103_1}, Abstract = {An experiment examined the relationships among hypochondriasis, apprehension, and the strategic use of symptoms in evaluative settings. One–hundred twenty subjects, half of whom scored low versus high in hypochondriasis, were told that they would be assigned either to take a potentially ego– threatening test or simply to read through the test items. Half of the subjects thought assignment to one of the two tasks would be random; the other half thought that their health would be considered, and that subjects who had recently been ill would not be assigned to take the test. Furthermore, subjects were told that, if they actually took the test, their scores would be seen by only them, by only the researcher, or by no one. Results showed that, when the assignment to take versus read the test was random, high hypochondrical subjects expressed increased apprehension and derogated the test to a greater extent than when their health was considered in making the task assignment. Low hypochondriacal subjects, on the other hand, were unaffected by the experimental manipulations. Contrary to expectations, subjects reported more symptoms when they thought their health would not be considered in making assignments than when the assignment was based on their health. © 1990, Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.

Of these, egocentric and banal behaviors were judged most boring. In Study 2 we examined the conversational styles of individuals who had been rated previously as boring or interesting. Transcripts of 52 unstructured 5-min laboratory conversations were coded using the Verbal Response Mode Taxonomy. Results showed that boring subjects used proportionally fewer disclosures (expressions of subjective information) and edifications (expressions of objective information), but proportionally more questions and acknowledgments than interesting subjects. In the third study, 72 subjects listened to three interesting and three boring conversations and then rated the participants. Subjects evaluated boring interactants more unfavorably than interesting interactants on virtually every dimension examined. © 1986 American Psychological Association.}, Doi = {10.1037/0022-3514.51.5.968}, Key = {fds252614} } @article{fds252650, Author = {Leary, MR and Robertson, RB and Barnes, BD and Miller, RS}, Title = {Self-Presentations of Small Group Leaders.

Social anxiety appears to arise from people's concerns about the impressions others are forming of them. Specifically, it is proposed that social anxiety occurs when people are motivated to create a desired impression on audiences but doubt they will do so. High social anxiety, in turn, is associated with qualitative and quantitative changes in how people communicate. It is argued that the combination of an important goal (i.e. to create a desired impression) and low expectations of goal achievement produces negative affect, physical or psychological withdrawal from the situation, and self-preoccupation with one's limitations. These distracting concomitants of high social anxiety impede optimally effective self-monitoring and control. A protective self-presentational style, in which the focus is on avoiding blatant failures rather than achieving major successes, is engaged. The result is a lowered level of participation in interactions (e.g. initiating fewer conversations, talking less frequently), the avoidance of topics that might reveal one's ignorance (e.g. factual matters), minimal disclosure of information about the self, cautious self-descriptions that are less positive and less likely to assert unique qualities that draw attention to the self, and a passive yet pleasant interaction style that avoids disagreement (e.g. reflective listening, agreeing with others, smiling). © 1985, MULTILINGUAL MATTERS LTD.

The failure to distinguish between anxiety and behavior results in conceptual confusion, measurement and methodological problems in research, and in unfocused, nonspecific treatments for communication difficulties. Recommendations for the amelioration of conceptual and methodological problems in the area are presented. Copyright © 1983, Wiley Blackwell.

The authors presume that specific situational and dispositional antecedents of social anxiety operate by influencing people's motivation to impress others and their expectations of satisfactorily doing so. In contrast to drive models of anxiety but consistent with social learning theory, it is argued that the cognitive state of the individual mediates both affective arousal and behavior. The traditional inverted--U relation between anxiety and performance is reexamined in this light. Counseling implications are considered, including the recommendation that treatments be tailored to specific types of self-presentational problems.

Indices of anxiety (e.g., the Anxiety scale of the Affect Adjective Check List) were obtained. The cognitive indices of anxiety provided the strongest support for the "matching" hypothesis, in that matched treatments resulted in more facilitative patterns of cognitions relevant to the stressor. All treatments were more effective than the no-treatment control in reducing behavioral indicants of anxiety, although a self-report measure of speech anxiety failed to show such treatment effects.

In general, accurate self-presentations were most favorably evaluated, especially when the claim occurred after the performance. The two exceptions to the preference for accurate self-presenters occurred when (a) the actor modestly underestimated a clearly superior prior performance by claiming to have done "only" well or all right, in which case he/she was evaluated more favorably than an accurate but seemingly boastful actor who claimed to have done extremely well, and (b) the actor self-deprecatingly predicted an inferior performance, in which case he/she was disliked even when accurate. Disclaimers about the importance of the performance (e.t., "I did well, but it's no big deal") were seen as boastful rather than modest and decreased evaluations. The results mirror many of the tactics used by actor-subjects in past experiments, suggesting that people generally vary their self-presentations in optimal fashion to create the most favorable possible impression on the audience. © 1982.}, Doi = {10.1016/0022-1031(82)90083-X}, Key = {fds252654} } @article{fds252655, Author = {Leary, MR}, Title = {Distorted hindsight and the 1980 Presidential election}, Journal = {Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin}, Volume = {8}, Pages = {257-263}, Year = {1982}, Key = {fds252655} } @article{fds252656, Author = {Leary, MR}, Title = {The distorted nature of hindsight}, Journal = {Journal of Social Psychology}, Volume = {115}, Number = {1}, Pages = {25-29}, Publisher = {Informa UK Limited}, Year = {1981}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/00224545.1981.9711984}, Abstract = {Research has shown that individuals tend retrospectively to overestimate the degree to which they expected certain events to occur.

Two experiments examined the effects of evaluations from their fellows on such egotism in groups. In Experiment 1, 96 subjects participated in four‐person, problem‐solving groups, and, after completing the group tasks, rated the competency and worth of each of the other group members. Subjects then received bogus written feedback indicating that the group had either succeeded or failed, and that the other members had considered them: (a) the most competent member of the group, (b) the least competent, or (c) of average competence. Group performance and personal evaluations interacted in influencing subjects' perceptions of their personal performances, relative responsibility for the group performance, and potency within the group, generally supporting predictions derived from self‐esteem and equity theory. Subjects claimed more responsibility for success than for failure only when they were favorably evaluated by their peers, and claimed the least responsibility for group success when they were unfavorably evaluated. The latter acceptance of negative peer evaluations was examined in Experiment 2, which manipulated the consensus of the evaluations given 76 high or low self‐esteem subjects. Regardless of their self‐esteem or the consensus of the evaluations, subjects again seemed to accept unfavorable evaluations. High self‐esteem subjects did, though, rate their personal performance and relative responsibility higher than low self‐esteem subjects. Copyright © 1979, Wiley Blackwell.

In fact, many important outcomes in life - outcomes as diverse as friendships, professional success, income, romantic relationships, influence over others, and social support - depend to a significant extent on the impressions that people make on others. Knowing that others respond to them on the basis of their public impressions, people devote considerable thought and energy to conveying impressions that will lead others to treat them in desired ways. In many instances, the impressions people project of themselves are reasonably accurate attempts to let other people know who they are and what they are like (Murphy, 2007). At other times, people may convey impressions of themselves that they know are not entirely accurate, if not blatantly deceptive, when they believe that fostering such images will result in desired outcomes (Hancock & Toma, 2009). Social and behavioral scientists refer to people’s efforts to manage their public images as self-presentation or impression management (Goffman, 1959; Schlenker, 2012). Some researchers use different terms for the process of controlling one’s public image depending on whether the efforts are honest or deceitful and whether they involve impressions of one’s personal characteristics or information about one’s social roles and identity. But we will use the terms interchangeably to refer to any intentional effort to convey a particular impression of oneself to another person without respect to the accuracy or content of the effort. Tactics of Self-presentation Nearly every aspect of people’s behavior provides information from which others can draw inferences about them, but actions are considered self-presentational only if they are enacted, at least in part, with the goal of leading other people to perceive the individual in a particular way. People convey information about their personal and social characteristics using a wide array of tactics. Verbal Claims The most direct self-presentational tactics involve verbal statements that make a particular claim regarding one’s personal or social characteristics.}, Doi = {10.1017/9781316676202.007}, Key = {fds336523} } @misc{fds327434, Author = {Leary, MR}, Title = {Motivational and emotional aspects of interpersonal rejection: Twenty-five years of theory and research}, Pages = {46-60}, Booktitle = {Ostracism, Exclusion, and Rejection}, Publisher = {Routledge}, Year = {2016}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9781848725577}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.4324/9781315308470}, Doi = {10.4324/9781315308470}, Key = {fds327434} } @misc{fds252491, Author = {Leary, MR and Jongman-Sereno, KP and Diebels, KJ}, Title = {Measures of Concerns with Public Image and Social Evaluation}, Pages = {448-473}, Booktitle = {Measures of Personality and Social Psychological Constructs}, Publisher = {Elsevier}, Year = {2015}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9780123869159}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-386915-9.00016-4}, Abstract = {People differ in the degree to which they are attuned to other people's evaluations of them, are motivated to make desired impressions on others, experience distress when their public images are damaged or others' evaluations of them are unfavorable, and use various tactics to convey public impressions of themselves to others.

In being based on instrumental social value, status is distinguishable from interpersonal acceptance, which is based on relational value.

The chapter discusses the central role that self-presentation plays in the pursuit of status, the ways in which people enhance their status through impression management, the features of social situations that moderate how people manage their public images in the pursuit of status, and the dilemma that people sometimes face in balancing their efforts to be respected and gain status with their efforts to be liked and accepted.}, Doi = {10.1007/978-1-4939-0867-7_8}, Key = {fds252488} } @misc{fds252490, Author = {Leary, MR and Jongman-Sereno, KP}, Title = {Social Anxiety as an Early Warning System: A Refinement and Extension of the Self-Presentation Theory of Social Anxiety}, Pages = {579-597}, Booktitle = {Social Anxiety: Clinical, Developmental, and Social Perspectives}, Publisher = {Elsevier}, Year = {2014}, Month = {January}, ISBN = {9780123978196}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/B978-0-12-394427-6.00020-0}, Abstract = {This chapter describes a refinement and extension of the self-presentational theory of social anxiety, which explains social anxiety in terms of people’s concerns with the impressions that other people are forming of them.

Indeed, we argue that with the advent of current cross-cutting developments in cognitive, socioemotional, and biological perspectives in the broader domain of the behavioral sciences, that the time is ripe for rearranging the marriage among these fields. In order to provide a conceptual frame for such a conjunctive effort, we return to Lewinian field theory and its definition of forces of locomotion in the life space as a particularly notable way to put the examination of normal and abnormal psychology in the same theoretical space. By addressing some critical ideational themes in the domains of personality and social psychology, we attempt to illustrate the overlap of these themes with the ideas and questions of scholars of abnormal behavior. Of course, in deploying a Lewinian model our analyses turn to the dynamics of person x environment interactions in the regions of the life space. In doing so we define the phenomena of meaning-making and the multiple "worldview" existential models in social and personality psychology as the forces constituting the primary dynamics defining the permeability of adaptive regions of the "life space" or phenomenal field. We illustrate these dynamics by detailed consideration of human adaptation in two critical regions or domains of life experience in the behavioral field: the domain of regulatory transactions and the domain of acceptance, social affection, and relationships. While these domains certainly do not exhaust all regions of the life space, we argue that they are particularly pertinent for parsing continua of normal-to-abnormal adaptation and conjoining the nature of psychopathology with the everyday struggles of personal and social significance to all humans. We conclude our analysis by rather unabashed advocacy, not specifically for the model we explore, but for scholarship that is aimed at developing models that link the normal to what we refer to as the abnormal or psychopathological. As humans, the cloths of our selves and our environments are made from common as well as individually unique fibers. We conclude that to disambiguate how such fibers are woven together to frame the forces driving our travels from blissful adaptation to painful maladjustment should be a primary agenda for our interconnected sciences of human behavior.}, Doi = {10.1093/oxfordhb/9780195398991.013.0023}, Key = {fds252495} } @misc{fds322947, Author = {Leary, MR}, Title = {Sociometer theory}, Pages = {141-159}, Booktitle = {Handbook of Theories of Social Psychology}, Publisher = {SAGE PUBLICATIONS LTD}, Address = {London}, Editor = {L.

Physiologically, blushing reflects the vasodilatation of cutaneous blood vessels in the blush region. Dilation of these vessels causes an increase in blood volume in the affected area, which is experienced subjectively as warmth in the blush region and often perceived by others as a reddening or darkening of the skin, assuming that the individual’s skin tone is light enough to allow the blush to be seen (Edelmann, 1987). Dark-skinned people – such as Blacks and Indians – show the same physiological responses when blushing as Whites but report that others often do not notice their blushing (Drummond & Lim, 2000; Simon & Shields, 1996). In addition to these physical sensations, blushing is typically accompanied by a sense of self-consciousness or conspicuousness, as well as by emotions such as social anxiety, embarrassment, shame or fear, as might happen following a transgression or violation of social norms. However, not all emotional reactions that accompany blushing are negative. People may also blush while experiencing happiness or gratitude, such as when receiving a compliment or public recognition. Therefore, blushing cannot be tied exclusively to any particular emotion or even one valence of emotion. Rather, blushing seems to be experienced alongside a range of emotional reactions that are associated with social evaluation and self-consciousness.}, Doi = {10.1017/CBO9781139012850.007}, Key = {fds252493} } @misc{fds252494, Author = {Leary, MR and Leder, S}, Title = {The nature of hurt feelings: Emotional experience and cognitive appraisals}, Pages = {15-33}, Booktitle = {Feeling Hurt in Close Relationships}, Publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, Address = {New York}, Editor = {A.

Theorists have sliced the emotional pie in a variety of ways, but most fall into one of two camps. Advocates of categorical approaches have identified a relatively small number of “basic” emotions – such as anger, fear, joy, sadness, disgust, and surprise – that cannot be reduced to other, more fundamental states (e.g., Ekman, 1992; Izard, 1991; Plutchik, 1980; Tomkins, 1962). These theorists suggest that all emotional experiences can be defined as mixes, blends, or hybrids of these basic emotions. In contrast, proponents of dimensional models have argued that emotions are not divisible into discrete units. Rather, they suggest that much of the variance in emotional experience can be captured by a small number of primary dimensions. Some theorists endorse two-dimensional models characterized by the valence of the emotion (pleasant vs. unpleasant) and the degree of arousal or activation involved (aroused vs. tranquil; see Larsen & Diener, 1992; Russell, 1980; Watson & Tellegen, 1985). Others suggest that the data are better explained by a three-dimensional model defined by dimensions of valence, potency, and activity (Shaver, Schwartz, Kirson, & O'Conner, 1987).}, Doi = {10.1017/CBO9780511770548.003}, Key = {fds252494} } @misc{fds170060, Author = {M.

This realization was a benchmark in human social life because it involved the emergence of a private sense of self that the individual knew was not accessible to others and created the possibility that people could purposefully convey images of themselves that were inconsistent with how they knew themselves to be. Many other animals engage in displays that, in one sense, do not jibe with how they really are (fluffing hair or feathers to appear larger, for example), and chimpanzees have been observed to deceive other chimps and their human caretakers (de Waal, 1986). But other animals' efforts at self-presentation pale in comparison to those of human beings, limited by their meager ability to self-reflect (Gallup, 1977; Gallup & Suarez, 1986). Only in human beings do we see deliberate efforts to convey a public image to other people, an image that may or may not mesh with the individual's private view of him- or herself. Following James's (1890) seminal descriptions of various public and private aspects of the self, two traditions emerged in the study of the self, one focusing primarily on the private, subjective self and the other on the social, public self. Early theorists and researchers interested in the private self explored how people develop a sense of self, the factors that determine the nature of people's self-concepts, the psychological motives that affect their self-views, and the emotional and behavioral implications of how people perceive themselves (Cooley, 1902; Lecky, 1945; Mead, 1934; Rogers, 1959; Rosenberg, 1965; Wylie, 1961). Interest in the public or social self was spurred by developments in sociology, particularly those that emerged from the symbolic interactionist and dramaturgical perspectives. Goffman (1959), for example, championed a purely public characterization of the self, proposing that the only true self was the public one. In discussing the link between the self and self-presentation, Goffman wrote: "A correctly staged and performed scene leads the audience to impute a self to a performed character, but this imputation - this self - is a product of a scene that comes off and is not a cause of it" (p. 252, italics in original). He cautioned that the self should not be regarded as an internal, organic thing but rather as the dramatic effect of a person's public presentation. When social psychologists began to explore the dynamics of self-presentation (e.g., E. E. Jones, 1964; Jones, Gergen, & Jones, 1963), they adopted a view of the self that drew from both the psychological and sociological traditions. They assumed the existence of a private psychological self, but saw as one of its functions the management of a public identity. Although early symbolic interactionists had discussed the interplay between the self as known to the individual and the self as seen by others (Cooley, 1902; Mead, 1934), psychological theory and research on the private vs. public aspects of the self were, for the most part, pursued separately for many years. Researchers who were interested in the inner workings of the self did not deny that private psychological processes affect people's public persona and vice versa, but they were interested primarily in the intrapsychic aspects of the self. In contrast, researchers interested in the public self did not ignore ways in which the public, social self was influenced by the private, psychological self, but they were interested primarily in the interpersonal factors that affect the kinds of public selves that people present to others, and the private self took a back seat. Since the 1980s, however, much has been written about the relationship between the private and public aspects of the self (e.g., Baumeister, 1982a, 1986; Carver & Scheier, 1981; Greenwald, 1982; Greenwald & Breckler, 1985; Leary & Baumeister, 2000; Schlenker, 1985, 1986), but it is not my intention to review this extensive literature here. Rather, my interest in this chapter is on one particular motivational feature of the private and public selves.}, Doi = {10.1002/9780470998557.ch18}, Key = {fds322948} } @misc{fds140110, Author = {Leary, M.
