There is increasing recognition that high self-esteem is heterogeneous. Recent research suggests that individuals who report having high self-esteem (i.e., have high explicit self-esteem) behave more defensively to the extent that they have relatively low implicit self-esteem. The current studies test whether individuals with high explicit self-esteem are more likely to discriminate ethnically, as a defensive technique, to the extent that they have relatively low implicit self-esteem. The results support this prediction. Among participants with high explicit self-esteem, all of whom were threatened by negative performance feedback, those with relatively low implicit self-esteem recommended a more severe punishment for a Native, but not a White, student who started a fist-fight. In Study 2, this pattern was not apparent for participants with relatively low explicit self-esteem.

Self /other recognition and distinction in adolescents with anorexia nervosa: A pilot study using a double mirror paradigm.
PLoS One
January 2025
Professeur Honoraire au Collège de France, Paris, France.
Background: Abnormalities in body perception in patients affected by anorexia nervosa have been widely studied, but without explicit reference to their relationship to others and the social processes involved. Yet, there are a several arguments supporting impairments in interpersonal relationships in these patients. Notably, some evidence suggests that self/other distinction (SOD), the ability to distinguish one's own body, actions and mental representations from those of others could be impaired.

Article Synopsis
- Hospital call centers are vital for supporting cancer patients and accurately identifying their inquiries is essential, but existing models like LSTM and BERT face challenges due to their reliance on labor-intensive, annotated datasets.
- This study tests GPT-4's ability to classify the intents of cancer patient phone consultations and compares its performance with traditional models like LSTM and BERT, particularly in handling complex queries.
- GPT-4 demonstrates superior accuracy (85.2%) compared to LSTM (73.7%) and BERT (71.3%) in processing patient inquiries, showing its effectiveness with fewer training examples.
Harnessing opportunity cost salience for effortless self-control.
Curr Opin Psychol
February 2025
Department of Marketing, University of Groningen, the Netherlands.
Traditional psychological models characterize self-control as an inherently effortful process, relying on deliberate and cognitively demanding strategies to resist impulsive temptations. Drawing on behavioral economics literature, we investigate opportunity cost salience as an effective intervention to enhance self-control with minimal effort. Specifically, we demonstrate that opportunity cost salience facilitates the intuitive detection of self-control conflicts and motivates the pursuit of valued long-term goals by altering the subjective value of present and future outcomes in self-control dilemmas.

Article Synopsis
- This paper proposes using personalized large language models (LLMs) as artificial moral advisors (AMAs) that adapt to an individual's evolving moral values and preferences based on their personal data.
- These LLM-based AMAs can help users gain self-awareness and reflect on their personal goals and desired identity.
- The authors acknowledge that more technical development is needed to determine the effectiveness of this approach compared to existing AMAs that rely on fixed values or introspection.
Background: Women's football (soccer), despite official recognition and growing popularity, is perceived as a gender-non-typical sport. This contradiction can be implicitly transmitted by society and acts as a condition of conflict in the self-consciousness of teenage female football players (TFFPs). In this study, the model of self-consciousness is defined as the semantic structures generated in the dialogic interaction "person - sociocultural environment".
