Differential relations between two dimensions of self-esteem and the Big Five?
Abstract
Recent research has suggested the possibility that self-esteem (SE) may be viewed as a two-dimensional concept consisting of: (a) self-liking, the subjective evaluation of oneself as a social being; and (b) self-competence, the internal conceptions of success and failure in performing tasks (Tafarodi & Swann, 1995). Establishing differential relations between these two dimensions of SE and an important psychological concept like the Big Five, would support the notion of two-dimensional SE. To test this hypothesis the self-liking/self-competence scale (SLCS) and the Big Five Inventory (BFI) were administered to 128 Norwegian college students. The results show a differential relationship between the two dimensions of SE and the personality dimensions of the BFI.

Students with higher self-liking were more extraverted, conscientious, agreeable, open to experience, and less neurotic.

The moderate correlation between self-liking and Big Five scores may not be a sufficient explanation for a mediation effect; a bivariate correlation or an assumed interaction could also be a sign of a moderation effect.
“Some may argue that the moderate correlation is not a sufficient explanation for a mediation effect. A bivariate correlation or an assumed interaction could also be a sign of a moderation effect.”

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.
