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. >Self-description, >Stability. 1. Campbell, J. D., Trapnell, P. D., Heine, S.
