Acknowledging that one engages in risk - increasing behaviour is a form of self - generated negative feedback that can engender self - protective responses. This experiment examined the use of one of these reactions, compensatory self - enhancement, following a manipulation that made high and low self - esteem participants explicitly consider their sexual risk behaviours. Participants with high (but not low) self - esteem responded to the manipulation by self - enhancing on both personality ratings and ratings of their contraceptive behaviour. Positive self - ratings on personality traits were negatively associated with subsequent ratings of perceived vulnerability to sexually transmitted diseases.
