Constantine Sedikides on Self-Esteem - Dictionary of Arguments

Corr I 461
Self-Esteem/Robinson/Sedikides: Although self-esteem and self-certainty overlap, they can be distinguished by the use of a recently developed dispositional measure of self-certainty (Campbell, Trapnell, Heine et al. 1996)(1).
>Disposition
.
Based on the idea that higher levels of self-certainty are associated with a greater degree of consistency across time and context (Campbell et al. 1996)(1), it seems likely that traits might be better predictive of trait-relevant outcomes at higher levels of self-certainty. Thus, the dispositional analysis of self-certainty has promising implications for the trait-prediction literature.
