“…One potential explanation is that trait self-esteem may be expressed through different emotions during self-rating. While individuals with high self-esteem tend to express more positive emotions such as pride ( Tracy and Robins, 2003 ; Agroskin et al, 2014 ) and happiness ( Kim et al, 2019 ) when introducing themselves, those with low self-esteem are more likely to exhibit negative emotions including sadness and disgust ( Satoh, 2001 ). In addition, it is noteworthy that the left cheek was found to be the area most affected by trait self-esteem (for amplitude: η 2 = 0.025, for variability: η 2 = 0.028).…”

BackgroundTrait self-esteem reflects stable self-evaluation, and it affects social interaction patterns. However, whether and how trait self-esteem can be expressed through behaviors are controversial. Considering that facial expressions can effectively convey information related to personal traits, the present study investigated the three-dimensional (3D) facial movements related to self-esteem level and the sex differences therein.MethodsThe sample comprised 238 participants (46.2% males, 53.8% females). Their levels of trait self-esteem were evaluated by employing the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES) (47.9% low self-esteem, 52.1% high self-esteem). During self-introductions, their facial movements in 3D space were recorded by Microsoft Kinect. Two-way ANOVA was performed to analyze the effect of self-esteem and gender on 3D facial movements. Additionally, Logistic regression models were established to describe the relationship between 3D facial movements and self-esteem levels in both genders.ResultsThe results of two-way ANOVA revealed a main effect of trait self-esteem level for cheeks and lips’ movements. Meanwhile, there was a significant interaction between trait self-esteem and gender on the variability of lips’ movements. In addition, the combination of facial movements can effectively identify trait self-esteem in men and women, with 75.5 and 68% accuracy, respectively.ConclusionThe present results suggest that the 3D facial expressions of individuals with different trait self-esteem levels were different, and such difference is affected by gender. Our study explores a possible way in which trait self-esteem plays a role in social interaction and also provides the basis for automatic self-esteem recognition.

“…Studies were excluded from the review if they measured disgust in a manner that did not relate to a core feature of the self; did not predominantly measure self‐disgust but rather a related construct, such as guilt, shame, or self‐loathing; operationalized mental contamination predominantly in a way which did not relate to a core feature of the self (e.g., as intrusive mental images)—for example, via the Vancouver Obsessive Compulsive Inventory – Mental Contamination Scale (Rachman, Coughtrey, Shafran, & Radomsky, ) or the Mental Pollution Questionnaire (Fairbrother & Rachman, ); measured the experimental manipulation of a construct (e.g., inducing mental contamination); were theoretical rather than empirical; examined the relationship between self‐disgust and a construct that has yet to demonstrate a robust connection with mental distress (e.g., flow and sense of superiority; Hirao & Kobayashi, ; Satoh, ; Kodaira, ). …”

This systematic literature review examined the clinical utility of the construct of self‐disgust in understanding mental distress. Specifically, the review assessed whether there is a shared conceptual definition of self‐disgust, the face and construct validity of the quantitative assessment measures of self‐disgust, and the predictive validity of self‐disgust in formulating the development of a range of psychological difficulties. A systematic database search supplemented by manual searches of references and citations identified 31 relevant papers (27 quantitative, 3 qualitative, and 1 mixed). Analysis of qualitative papers indicated a number of shared features in the definition of self‐disgust, including a visceral sense of self‐elicited nausea accompanied by social withdrawal and attempts at cleansing or suppressing aspects of the self. Quantitative assessment measures appeared to capture these dimensions and evidenced good psychometric properties, although some measures may have only partially captured the full self‐disgust construct. Strong relationships were observed between self‐disgust and a range of mental health presentations, in particular, depression, body‐image difficulties, and trauma‐related difficulties. However, these relationships are smaller when the effects of other negative self‐referential emotions were controlled, and stronger conclusions about the predictive validity of self‐disgust are limited by the cross‐sectional nature of many of the studies.

“…Self-disgust is defined as a negative feeling and is related to a lack of confidence 16. In contrast, because confidence in one’s capability occurs in a positive situation, a negative correlation was observed between the Self-Disgust Scale score and the frequency of flow experiences.…”

PurposeTo determine the relationship between self-disgust, guilt, and flow experience.MethodsA cross-sectional survey was conducted in a convenience sample of 142 Kibi International University students (mean age, 20.09 ± 1.24 years; 85 males and 57 females). Each participant was evaluated using the Flow Experience Checklist, Self-Disgust Scale, and Situational Guilt Inventory. Correlation analysis was used to describe the strength and direction of the relationship between variables. We employed Pearson’s partial correlations, adjusted for age and sex, using dummy variables (female = 0, male = 1).ResultsAnalysis of the relationship between the frequency of flow experience and the Self-Disgust Scale scores showed a statistically significant negative correlation, whereas the duration of the activity and the Situational Guilt Inventory score showed a significant positive correlation. The quality of flow experience and the Situational Guilt Inventory score showed a significant positive correlation.ConclusionThese findings suggest that flow experience could be helpful for those who need treatment to reduce negative emotions.
