Hi Jessy,
Here is a link to an interesting open access paper on how self esteem affects attention bias toward self-relevant stimuli, in this case people's names and names of friends. (It is an empirical, neurological study, but it raises interesting theories and discussion about self esteem.)
http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fnhum.2015.00376/full
I am currently conducting a study to investigate if self esteem affects how people perceive him or herself and human-like synthetic agents. I am using people's faces as stimuli and morphs of individuals with human-like synthetic agents. I am investigating if people prefer human-like synthetic agents when they can perceive him or herself in that agent and if this is related to one's self esteem.
Regards,
Angela.
