Affirming the Less Defended Self: Quiet Ego Reminders Reduce Implicit Self-Other Bias
The quiet ego reflects psychological mechanisms that enable individuals to interpret themselves and others less defensively by balancing concerns for the welfare and growth of both (Bauer & Weatherbie, 2023). Two experimental studies tested the hypothesis that listening to brief reminders of four quiet ego characteristics would reduce a common form of defensiveness: self-other bias. In Study 1, female college students (N = 112) completed surveys …

Precision mentoring (PM): A proposed framework for increasing research capacity in health-related disciplines
We recommend shifting the mentoring paradigm such that: (a) mentees are pre-screened and re-screened for their current skill set and desired areas of growth; (b) mentoring occurs in teams vs. by individuals; (c) mentors are trained and rewarded, and (d) attention is paid to enhancing institutional culture

Risky Sexual Behavior in American White College Women: The Role of Sex Guilt and Sexual Abuse
Ninety-five sexually active White American female college students participated in a questionnaire study about their sexual behavior in the past 12 months. A path model was tested in order to assess specific hypothesized predictors of risky sexual behavior. As predicted, participants with greater sex guilt reported using condoms more and having had fewer sexual partners. The findings of this study suggest that White American female college studen…
How are We Doing? The Impact of Motives and Information Use on the Evaluation of Romantic Relationships
A multidimensional model of self-evaluation was modified to examine individuals' perceptions of how they evaluate their romantic relationships. Participants provided estimates of the frequency and usefulness of 10 types of information (objective information, feedback from others, personal standards, feared future relationships, future ideals, positive and negative past relationship information, upward, lateral, and downward social comparison) for…

Self-Evaluation Processes
Four motives (self-assessment, self-enhancement, self-verification, and self-improvement) are hypothesized to guide self-evaluation. Results of an empirical investigation suggest that two sets of circumstances may commonly elicit all four motives: a situation of past threat or failure and anticipation of some important future threat or challenge. These findings suggest the need to develop an integrative approach to self-evaluation that specifies …
Self‐Evaluation Processes: Motives, Information Use, and Self‐Esteem
At least three motives guide self‐evaluation: accuracy, self‐enhancement, and self‐improvement. To satisfy these motives, self‐evaluation may utilize different information sources. Self‐esteem may also moderate self‐evaluation strategies. Participants evaluated the frequency and usefulness of eight types of information for meeting the three motives in two life domains: academics and social life. Personal standards information was reported to be u…
