Self-esteem modulates attentional responses to rejection: Evidence from event-related brain potentials
چکیده انگلیسی

Individuals with low self-esteem have been shown to exhibit an attentional bias for social rejection cues. The present study investigated whether individuals with low self-esteem would demonstrate greater reactivity to rejection-related stimuli during an attention shifting task than was exhibited by those with high self-esteem. Individuals with low self-esteem showed higher amplitude event-related potentials (ERPs) in response to rejection cues than was observed for those with high self-esteem. These results suggest that individuals with low self-esteem allocate more attentional resources to rejection cues than those with high self-esteem. Discussion will focus on the implications of these findings for understanding the connection between low self-esteem and social rejection.


► Use ERP to examine the modulation of self-esteem on attentional response to rejection.
► Low self-esteem individual showed higher amplitude to rejection than high self-esteem.
► Low self-esteem individual allocate more attention to rejection than high self-esteem.
