In two experiments, the use of a self-other Implicit Association Test (IAT) as a measure of implicit self-esteem was examined. In Study 1, participants completed two self-other IATs: one in which the other was unspecified and one in which the other was specified to be a close friend. Esteem-IAT scores were significantly higher for the unspecified other-IAT (d = .82), indicating that the content of the other has a considerable influence on the over-all esteem-IAT scores. Study 2 provided a conceptual replication of these results and provided some initial evidence that the valence of an unspecified other is negative. Across both studies, the nature of the mental representation of the self, as measured by an esteem-IAT, changed as a function of the mental representation of the other. The crucial role of the other-associations in the esteem-IAT calls into question its use and interpretation as a measure of self-esteem.
在两项实验中，对使用自我-他人内隐联想测验（IAT）作为内隐自尊的一种测量方法进行了检验。在研究1中，参与者完成了两项自我-他人IAT：一项中未明确指定他人，另一项中明确指定他人为亲密朋友。未明确指定他人的IAT的自尊-IAT分数显著更高（d = 0.82），这表明他人的内容对总体自尊-IAT分数有相当大的影响。研究2对这些结果进行了概念性重复，并提供了一些初步证据表明未明确指定他人的效价是负面的。在两项研究中，通过自尊-IAT测量的自我心理表征的性质随他人的心理表征而变化。他人联想在自尊-IAT中的关键作用对其作为自尊测量方法的使用和解释提出了质疑。
