Replicating but Not Extending: Self-Effacers’ Gender Does Not Moderate Heck & Kreuger’s (2016) Effects

Across 3 studies (total N = 657), we replicated Heck and Kreuger’s (2016) findings that observers ratings’ rewarded self-effacers but punished self-enhancers. Target gender never significantly moderated this effect with strong BFs supporting the null, regardless of rating domain or whether target gender was manipulated between- or within-subjects.
