{"pk":30213,"title":"Disguising self-esteem caused changes in academic achievements differently forboys and girls in Japanese junior high school.","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Japanese youth (13-29 years old) showed lower self-esteem than other countries in the recent survey. The proportions ofthose who agreed to the statements I have my own unique strengths were 62.3% of Japanese, while 91.4% of Germany,91.2% USA, and 90.6% France (Japanese Government Cabinet Office, 2019). We assumed that Japanese youth mighthave disguised their self-esteem. To examine the hypothesis, we assessed the self-esteem of 159 Japanese junior highschool students implicitly and explicitly with a paper-based IAT and a questionnaire. As expected, we found 26.4% ofthe students having disguised self-esteem: They performed positively on the IAT while they answered negatively on thesurvey. We further examined the relationships of the disguises of self-esteem and the longitudinal changes in academicachievement. The results were different for boys and girls; disguising boys raised their academic performances six monthslater while disguising girls lowered their performances one year then.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[],"section":"Member Abstracts, appearing in proceedings only","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/9505030v","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Akitoshi","middle_name":"","last_name":"Uchida","name_suffix":"","institution":"Kohoku Junior High School","department":""},{"first_name":"Kazuo","middle_name":"","last_name":"Mori","name_suffix":"","institution":"Matsumoto University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2020-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/30213/galley/20067/download/"}]}
