Self-esteem is a global representation of the self that varies in its level of activation. Self-esteem should have an influence on future prediction depending on its activation level. According to the construal level theory, temporal distance moderates the influence of the activated self-esteem. Undergraduates (n=89) participated in a panel survey on predictions about their examination performance, in which their level of self-esteem activation was manipulated. Contrary to the hypothesis, the valence of activated self-esteem did not influence predictions of the participants that were made five weeks before the exam, whereas it did influence their predictions made just after they completed the exam. It is concluded that perceived temporal distance moderated the effect of self-esteem on predictions that were made after the exam. The effects of acquiring new data on future outcomes and on contrasting optimistic predictions with the level of salient self-esteem that leads to self-verification are discussed.
