Figure 1.
Examples of the four trial-types used in the actual self-esteem IRAP.
On each trial, a label stimulus (e.g., ‘I am’ or ‘I am not’), a target stimulus (e.g., ‘Successful’ or ‘Incompetent’) and two relational response options (True and False) were shown on the screen. Note: the ideal and actual self IRAPs were identical in all regards except for their respective label stimuli (‘I want to be’ and ‘I don’t want to be’ versus ‘I am’ and ‘I am not’ respectively).
Figure 2.
Mean D-IRAP scores as a function of IRAP-Type (actual vs. ideal) and BDI group (high vs. low).
A positive value indicates a pro self-esteem bias and a negative score indicates the opposite.
