Prior research suggests that knowledge of one’s family is correlated with, but does not produce, psychological well-being. We test this conjecture, by examining whether participating in history (i.e., genealogical research) associated with well-being above and beyond the effects family, documented prior research.

A random sample of Alberta high schools yielded data for 1,084 males and 1,024 females. Measures completed included the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale.

Consistent with recent research on initials-preferences, we assumed that people’s preferences for their initials reflect an implicit form of self-esteem that buffers them against challenges to their self-worth. Accordingly, we proposed that high selfesteem persons who demonstrated weak initials-preferences would be particularly likely to engage in compensatory self-enhancement activities. Resul...
