Decomposing the implicit self-concept: The relative influence of semantic meaning and valence on attribute self-association

Article Abstract:

Four studies, which assess the extent to which self-associations are premised on semantic meaning and valence, are presented. The results of the studies generally suggest that although both valence and semantic meaning contribute to the strength of association between attributes and the self, semantic meaning is the primary basis of association in the implicit self-concept.
