The self - consistency revision of cognitive dissonance theory predicts that people with low self - esteem are less likely to experience dissonance arousal compared to people with high self - esteem. Two experiments investigated how the accessibility of different self - standards in the context of a dissonant act activates the consistency role of self - esteem in the process of cognitive dissonance arousal. In Experiment I, after participants wrote a counter - attitudinal essay, priming personal self - standards caused more attitude change for those with high compared to low self - esteem, whereas priming no standards or priming normative self - standards caused the same level of attitude change among both self - esteem groups. Experiment 2 showed that the self - consistency effect for low self - esteem participants only occurred among those who were high in self - certainty when personal self - standards were primed. The importance of self - standards for understanding the role of self - esteem in dissonance processes is discussed.
