In a between-subjects experimental design, 450 high school graduates and freshmen were randomly assigned to a self-referent task (n=230) or other-referent task (n=220) and their self-esteem was measured by repeated administration of the RSE scale. After personality and cognitive ability test, participants in a self-referent task were presented with a bogus feedback which consisted of statements that described a specific positive or negative behaviour that one is likely to do. Participants in the other-referent received the same information, but relating to an unknown person. Memory was tested on a surprise free recall task.
