Abstract
96 high and low self-accepting Ss were divided into 8 treatment groups: (a) a low group who received facilitating feedback for self-reinforcing responses; (b) a group comparable to the previous one but who also were given positive feedback on social comparison; (c) a low group who received inhibiting feedback for negative self-reinforcement responses; and (d) a group of low-control Ss. The remaining four groups were Ss high in self-acceptance; they were treated in a comparable fashion to the first four groups but instead given feedback designed to decrease their self-reinforcement rate. Ss were given the California Personality Inventory and the Berger measure of self-acceptance as well as self-ratings of creativity and intelligence before and after treatment. There were few significant changes for the post-measures following the conditioning treatment. The major outcome is questioning some hypotheses from past research concerning the relationship between self-reinforcement and self-acceptance.
