Previous studies have often suggested that Westerners have positive implicit self-esteem (ISE). This study investigated Chinese people’s implicit self-esteem (ISE), a topic which has been relatively neglected, and explored the best ways to measure it. Three priming tasks and the Implicit Association Test (IAT) were employed to measure ISE. Two experiments were conducted and a total of one hundred and eighty three Chinese participants were randomly assigned to receive the IAT test or a priming task (I, self, or one’s own name served as the prime). Results showed that use of a participant's own name as a priming task was the most effective way to measure the individual’s implicit self-esteem. Overall results indicated that Chinese people have positive implicit self-esteem. Implications are discussed.
