Two studies examined whether global self - esteem was associated with bias in memory for autobiographical experience. For 7 days, participants described specific events and made ratings of their experience (i. e., state self - esteem, positive and negative emotion, and perceived valence of the event) in response to each event. Later, participants were presented with their event descriptions and were asked to recall their experience ratings from memory. As hypothesized, higher global self - esteem predicted positive shifts in memory for experience, whereas lower global self - esteem predicted negative shifts in memory for experience. Patterns of bias were strongest for remembered state self - esteem, moderate for positive emotion, and minimal for event valence. Self - esteem did not predict bias for negative emotion. Mood at the time of recall (measured in Study 2) generally did not account for the patterns. These findings strengthen the view that self - esteem is a rich source of knowledge about the self that can influence memory for some kinds of autobiographical experience.
