The present study examined the effects of public self-affirmation (PSA) by low self-esteem individuals (LSE) on the causal attributions of their performances. Presenting positive aspects of the self to other people should make LSE confirm them, and thus allow LSE to restore their self-integrity. This PSA should lead LSE to make self-effacing attributions for their failures. The Experimental design was Performance feedback (positive/negative) × Self-esteem (high/low) × PSA (affirming/not affirming) factorial.<BR>The main results were as followed; (1) In general, Participants tended to make self-effacing attributions for their performances. (2) LSE who were given the opportunity of PSA tended to make self-effacing attributions for their failures more strongly than did LSE who were not given the opportunity. PSA by High self-esteem individuals did not affect the causal attributions of their failures. These results suggest that LSE might need to affirm positive aspects of the self publicly in order to reduce the impacts of the threats to their self-integrity.
