Isi artikel

Previous findings from israel show that self - evaluations are more positive than objective criteria and that they become more positive at more general levels of self - evaluation (Kurman & Eshel, 1996). This article examines whether this manifestation of self - enhacement exists in a more collectivistic culture. Academic self - evaluations obtained from eighth graders in singapore and israel revealed self - enhancement in both cultures. For israelis, there was a trend of increasing of self - enhancement ar more general levels of self - evaluation. In contrast, the magnitude of singaporeans' self - enhancement was not influenced by the generality of self - evaluation. Self - enhancement was positively related to well - being and self - esteem in both cultures. Taken together, the findings suggest that the weaker self - enhacement in singapore does not necessarily imply the absence of the self -enhancement motive.
