The authors investigated compensatory self - enhacement in japanese and canadian university students. Research has revealed that when north americans publicly discover a weakness in one self domain, they typically bolster their self - assessments in another unrelated domain. This effect is less commonly found in private settings. Following a private failure experince on a creativity task, canadians discounted the negative feedback, although they did not exhibit a compensatory self - enhancing response. In contrast, japanese were highly responsive to the failure feedback and showed evidence of reverse compensatory self - enhancement. This study provides further evidence that self -evaluation maintenance strategies are elusive among japanese samples.
