The chameleon effect hypothesizes that the interpretation of esteem items and the nature of the measurement of the construct are altered by the content of other items ina survey. In each of three studies, responses to esteem items embedded among items focusing on a specific self - concept domain (academic, artistic, or physical) were more highly correlated to that specific domain than were estee items from a broadly based multidimensional self - concept instrument. Confirmatory factor analysis models demonstrated that the same esteem items embedded in different instruments measured distinct factors. Unlike typical contextual effects showing mean shifts along the same underlying continuum, these results suggest changes in the nature of the construct that is being measured so that mean shifts are of dubious relevance. The results have theoretical implications for how individuals form esteem judgements and practical limitations for the interpretation of esteem responses in correlational and experimental studies.
