Peer reviewedElliott, Gregory C. – Journal of Youth and Adolescence, 1982
Self-esteem's effect on the tendency to convey a false impression by hiding one's feelings behind a facade was studied in youth aged 8 to 19. Lower self-esteem was associated with the tendency to present a false front. Vulnerability to criticism, self-consciousness, fantasy, and age and gender differences are discussed. (Author/CM)
