Selective Integration of Social Feedback Promotes a Stable and Positively Biased Self-Concept.
Article in Scandinavian journal of psychology, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 6 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Understanding self-concept dynamics is crucial given its generalized impact on our well-being. However, how we integrate information into our self-representations to promote a positively biased, yet progressively stable self-concept is a question that remains unanswered. In a series of four experiments, we refined a belief updating task to investigate how participants integrate social feedback depending on its valence and self-congruence. Experiment 1 indicated that the lack of control of an initial positive bias in participants self-concept might have masked valence and congruence effects in recent works. After implementing methodological adjustments (Experiments 2 and 3) we found that the integration of social feedback was strongly driven by feedback self-congruence and moderately driven by feedback valence. By synthesizing insights from social, personality, and cognitive psychology, this study advances the understanding of self-concept dynamics during social feedback processing. Our conceptual and methodological advancements offer a new lens for reinterpreting previous findings.
