Responds to the comments by J. J. Krueger, K. D. Vohs, and R. F. Baumeister (2007) on the current authors' original article, "Do people's self-views matter? Self-concept and self-esteem in everyday life" (2007). Krueger et al brought up many points with which the current authors agree. Nevertheless, as Krueger et al noted these points of agreement, the current authors focus instead on several points of continued disagreement. In addition, the current authors comment on a few new twists that Krueger et al have added to their argument.
