Self-enhancement and its implications for psychological adjustment were studied in a replication and extension of a study by Kwan et al. (2004). A sample of 199 Finnish military cadets rated themselves and other members of their platoons in a round-robin design. Corroborating that earlier study, our measure of performance adjustment (leadership grade in an officer training program) was negatively associated with the Social Relations Model self-enhancement index. A unique contribution of this study was our analysis of the differential contributions of self-ratings and peer ratings to that association. Those results suggested that the negative relation between adjustment and self-enhancement found in this study was due more to peers downgrading maladjusted targets than to those targets embellishing their self-descriptions. |
