Abstract:
Objective: To study the relationship between explicit/implicit self-esteem and mental health. Methods: 49 college students (including 26 male and 23 female, mean age 22) completed Rosenberg Self-esteem Scale and SCL-90. Their implicit self-esteem was measured by Implicit Association Test (IAT). Results: The results indicated a moderate to strong correlation between explicit self-esteem and mental health level. Yet the implicit indicator show insignificant influence on mental health. Conclusion: The study tends to support the hypothesis that implicit self-esteem is a independent structure from explicit self-esteem
