Cued Activation of Relational Schemas: Self-Evaluation and Gender Effects

Deux etudes examinent les reponses, fournies sous forme d'auto-evaluation, par des hommes et des femmes apres la presentation d'indices de rejet et d'acceptation. On a utilise deux procedures differentes de controle des conditions, pour associer les signaux sonores produits crees par ordinateur et les images de rejet social ou d'acceptation sociale. Lorsque les signaux sonores etaient presentes a la fin d'une situation a auto-evaluer, les femmes avaient tendance a repondre aux indices de rejet en devenant plus autocritiques et aux indices d'acceptation en devenant moins autocritiques. En ce qui concerne certains indicateurs, les hommes ont reagi de la maniere opposee. Les conclusions sont abordees a la lumiere des recentes analyses des differences entre les sexes en ce qui a trait aux origines de l'estime de soi.
