Evaluating the temporal structure and correlates of daily self-esteem using a trait state error framework (TSE)
Abstract
This study evaluates the temporal structure of daily self-esteem and the relative contribution of a range of theoretically motivated predictors of daily self-esteem. To assess self-esteem stability, a daily version of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem scale (RSE, Rosenberg, 1965) was administered to 278 undergraduates for five consecutive days. These short-term longitudinal data were analysed using the Trait State Error (TSE) modelling framework. The TSE decomposes multi-wave data into three components: (1) a stable trait component, (2) a state component, and (3) an error component. Significant predictors of the trait component of self-esteem observed across five days were: (1) emotional stability, and (2) the congruence between implicit and explicit self-esteem. Significant predictors of the state components of self-esteem were daily positive and negative events. We discuss the implications of these results for future research concerning self-esteem stability.

Recent research has decomposed multi-wave self-esteem data into trait and smaller state components.
“In line with this idea recent research was able to decompose multi-wave data of self-esteem into trait and (smaller) state components (Alessandri et al., 2016;Donnellan et al., 2012).”

State self-esteem fluctuates across moments, days, weeks, and months.
“Recent research has shown that state self-esteem fluctuates across moments (Diwan et al., 2022;Hank & Baltes-Götz, 2019), days (Alessandri et al., 2016;Enting & Reitz, 2022), weeks (Geukes et al., 2017), and months (Hutteman et al., 2014).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
