  • Factors influencing racial comparisons of self-esteem: A quantitative review

    Bernadette Gray-Little, Bernadette Gray‐Little et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2000

    Research on racial comparisons of self-esteem was examined. Early research in this area, exemplified by the doll studies of racial preference, was viewed as demonstrating that Blacks have less self-regard than Whites. However, a meta-analytic synthesis of 261 comparisons, based largely on self-esteem scales and involving more than half a million respondents, revealed higher scores for Black than for White children, adolescents, and young adults. …

  • An Item Response Theory Analysis of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale

    Open AccessBernadette Gray-Little, Bernadette Gray‐Little et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…1997

    The Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, a widely used self-report instrument for evaluating individual self-esteem, was investigated using item response theory. Factor analysis identified a single common factor, contrary to some previous studies that extracted separate Self-Confidence and Self-Depreciation factors. A unidimensional model for graded item responses was fit to the data. A model that constrained the 10 items to equal discrimination was cont…

  • The Effect of Racial Dissonance on Academic Self-Esteem and Achievement in Elementary, Junior High School Students

    Bernadette Gray-Little, Bernadette Gray‐Little et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research on Adolescence1997Cited by: 5References: 10

    We examined the association of school racial composition to academic achievement and self-esteem in a large sample of Black and White children and adolescents. The effects of racial composition (dissonant, consonant, and balanced) appear to vary for students of different age and racial groups, and to differ for self-esteem and achievement. Results of this study point to the importance of examining contextual dissonance among students at different…

    Open AccessBernadette Gray-Little, Bernadette Gray‐LittleARTICLEPsychological Reports1979

    16 boys and 16 girls in second grade felt they had worked harder when their scores were higher on letter-symbol substitution, but high performers were underrewarded. Black children tended to request fewer prizes but this might be related to the experimenter's being white

    Open AccessBernadette Gray-Little, Bernadette Gray‐LittleARTICLEPsychological Reports1974

    This study was designed to evaluate the extent to which Ss' desirability judgments of MMPI “conflict with authority” items would vary as a function of sex and relevant personality variables. Women were more disapproving that men of statements reflecting rebellious attitudes and behavior. Rotter's internal-external locus of control dimension was unrelated to attitudes toward authority. Ss who were low in dogmatism expressed greater respect for aut…

  • The Salience of Negative Information in Impression Formation Among Two Danish Samples

    Open AccessBernadette Gray-Little, Bernadette Gray‐LittleARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…1973Cited by: 1References: 6

    Two Danish samples were asked to rate an unknown other based on two descriptions, one containing praiseworthy and the other reproachable behaviors. With both samples, negative descriptions had a delayed disproportionate effect on the impression formed. The results for Danish subjects are similar to those found with Americans in spite of broad social and cultural differences which would seem to militate against this similarity
