A study was conducted to ascertain what the dominant self motivation is like  - selfverifying or self-enhancing? - in a situation when a person is faced  with a negative evaluation of a central personality characteristic. Previous  research suggested that affective reactions should follow the pattern  predicted by self-enhancement theory by which all individuals would react  with positive affect to positive evaluation and with negative affect to  negative evaluation. On the other side, cognitive reactions are expected to  follow the pattern predicted by self-verification theory which suggests that  information consistent with the self-concept should be the most convincing  (i.e. cognitive reactions should be influenced by interaction of feedback and  self-esteem). Ninety female respondents were given a false favorable or  extremely unfavorable feedback about their achievement on an intelligence  test, after which their cognitive and affective reactions were measured. The  results revealed that the respondents demonstrated a self-enhancing  motivation both in the affective and the cognitive domain, i.e., regardless  of their level of self-esteem, those who had failed experienced more negative  affect, rated test more unfavorably, assessed it as less accurate, and  claimed they had invested less effort to solve the test, than those who were  successful. The research imposes conclusion that cognitive reactions to  failure are not conditioned only by the degree of negativity or positivity of  global self-views, but also by the quality/intensity of unfavorable feedback.  This conclusion provides important methodological implications for future  research in this area

Cognitive and affective reactions to success and failure: The quality of feedback as the determinant of self-verifying and self-enhancing motivation
