1. Self-esteem accessibility	—
2. Proportion of negative self-beliefs	-.03	—

Mean (SD)	3.69(.08)	.29(.15)	.69(.30)	.76(.23)	3.34(.47)

Note. Proportion of negative self-beliefs was arcsine transformed: actual values were M = .31, SD = .13 (Study 2) and M = .28, SD = .14 (Study 3). Self-esteem level was assessed using a 5-point scale in Study 2 and a 4-point scale in Study 3. Self-esteem accessibility is the mean log-latency for responses to the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale; the non-log transformed value was M = 5422.77 ms, SD = 1168.73 ms.
