In three studies, participants were primed with words connoting interpersonal acceptance, interpersonal rejection, or other aversive outcomes. Study 1 revealed that participants low in self - esteem responded to rejection (compared to other) primes by appraising themselves less positively and more negatively, whereas those high in self - esteem showed the opposite tendency.Study 2 showed that implicit rejection caused participants low in self - esteem to give up sooner on a difficult (unsolvable) anagramtask but led those high in self - esteem to persist longer. Study3 revealed that primed rejection hampered performance among low - self - esteem participants but somewhat improved performance among high - self - esteem participants. Taken together, the findings indicated that people with low self - esteem automatically respond to interpersonal rejection with self - deprecation and withdrawal, whereas those with high self -esteem tend to react with affirmation and perseverance. People with low self - esteem appear to possess few resources for defending against rejection threat.
