Abstract | People tend to regard themselves as better than average. We conducted a replication and extension of Alicke’s classic study on trait dimensions in evaluations of self versus others with U.S. American Mechanical Turk workers in two waves (total N = 1,573; 149 total traits). We successfully replicated the trait desirability effect, such that participants rated more desirable traits as being more descriptive of themselves than of others (original: (Formula presented.) =.78, 95% confidence interval [CI] [.73,.81]; replication: sr2 =.54, 95% CI [.43,.65]). The effect of desirability was stronger for more controllable traits (effect of Desirability × Controllability interaction on self–other-ratings difference; original: (Formula presented.) =.21, 95% CI [.12,.28]; replication: sr2 =.07, 95% CI [.02,.12]). In an extension, we found that desirable traits were rated as more common for others, but not for the self. Thirty-five years later, the better-than-average effect appears to remain robust.
