Key papers

Narita, A., & Ishii, K. (2020). My voice capturing my attention to myself: The effects of objective self-awareness on Japanese people. Frontiers in Psychology, 11, 1596. What it reports: Study one with participants in Japan: a mirror had no effect on self-esteem, moral values or cheating; own recorded voice had a partial effect. Combined analysis: own-voice participants drew fewer additional coins than controls; another participant's voice had no effect.

Key ideas

Objective Self-Awareness: The state in which attention turns to the self as an object, so that a person compares their behaviour with their own standards.

Self-Focus Cue: A mirror, a camera or a recording of one's own voice, used to turn a person's attention toward themselves.
