Den villkorliga självkänslans relation till self-efficacy

Year: 2007

Type: dissertation

Abstract: A self-esteem that is contingent on affirmation from others leaves the individual psychologically vulnerable. A contingent self-esteem has been shown to be either relationship or competence based. The aim of the current study was to examine the relationship between relationship based self-esteem, competence based self-esteem, the under dimensions of those, and self-efficacy. Questionnaires were handed out to 69 university students. The results indicated that competence based self-esteem predicted a significantly low self-efficacy. Only some of the under dimensions were significant predictors. The vulnerability of the contingent self-esteem is discussed in the light of the findings.
