SELF-ESTEEM
The evaluation of your own worth.
Positive Self-Esteem and Negative Self-
Esteem
• (a) Performance Experiences – if you are good at achieving your specific goal, then you probably think
that you will achieve it again. When the opposite happens, if you fail, you will often think that you will
fail again.
• (b) Vicarious Performances – if others achieved their goal or specific task, then you'll come to believe
that you will also achieve your goal.
• (c) Verbal Persuasion – it is when people tell you whether they believe or not on what you can do or
cannot do. The effect of your self-efficacy will depend on how that person matters to you.
• (d) Imaginal Performances – When you imagine yourself doing well, then it will happen.
• (e) The Affective States & Physical Sensations – if your mood or emotion (e.g. shame) and physical state
(e.g. shaking) come together, it will affect your self- efficacy. If negative mood connects with negative
physical sensation, the result will be negative. And if it is positive, most likely the result will be positive.
Self and Identity
“the self is what happens when I reflect
upon me"
-William James, a psychologist
