The "better - than - average" effect, the tendency for people to view themselves as above average on positive characteristics but below average on negative characteristics, is an important manifestation of the motive for self - enhancement. The present research examined whether the better - than - average effect occured in norway, a country with strong norms for modesty and whether the same association between unrealistically positive self - appraisals and self - esteem would be observed in norway and the united states. Seventy - six american and 102 norwegian participants were asked to rate the favorability and self - descriptiveness of 42 personality traits, and thes ratings were used to generate a self - enhancement index. Norwegians showed significantly less self - enhancement bias than did americans, and norwegians showed to association between self - esteem and self - enhacement bias.
