Document Summary
Low self-esteem leads to negative behaviours towards others. E. g. viewed the exact same info about a women, either portrayed as italian or. If threatened = more negative rating to jew, and had a bigger boost in self-esteem after experiment. Not threatened = same rating for the two. Explicit self-esteem = self-reports, one expressing about oneself. High explicit but low implicit self-esteem lead to more prejudice towards others. E. g. given negative feedback from a iq test and then those who had high explicit and low implicit gave more punishment to aboriginal student (vs white student) for starting a fist fight. Observing, listening, or even seeing someone responding favourably to a joke involving stereotypes can lead to a change in attitude. E. g. children watching and listening to what their parents" views are. Whites who hear someone express racist views express less antiracist positions.
