How Verbal Behavior During Self‐Presentation Is Associated With Self‐Esteem: A Computational Perspective on Lexical, Syntactic, and Semantic Levels
Puntos clave
The research aims to explore how verbal behavior in self-presentation relates to self-esteem, focusing on different aspects of communication.
Analyzed verbal behaviors using computational techniques
Examined the content of self-presentation
Considered lexical, syntactic, and semantic dimensions
Identified a strong association between specific verbal behaviors and self-esteem levels
Found that agency in communication is particularly expressive and impactful
Demonstrated that the content of self-presentation moderates this relationship
Resumen
Verbal behaviors are associated with self-esteem and are moderated by the content of self-presentation. Agency (relative to communion) may function as a more expressive channel for self-esteem.
