Self-Esteem Among U.S. African American and Latinx Adolescents With Depressive Symptoms and Overweight and/or Obesity.

To examine the concept of self-esteem among African American and Latinx adolescents with overweight and/or obesity and depressive symptoms in the United States. Using key terms in CINAHL, PubMed, and PsycINFO databases, an initial search yielded 371 articles; after examining title, abstract, and full text, 33 articles remained. The concept of adolescent self-esteem was analyzed using Rodger's evolutionary method. Several antecedents of self-esteem in this context were identified, including bullying, negative portrayal in the media, stressors and hassles, low socioeconomic status, dieting, and family dietary influences. Attributes identified were body image and misperception, body image dissatisfaction, diminished social status, and isolation. Consequences included stigma, somatic complaints, decreased earnings over a lifetime, decreased quality of life, lower educational attainment over a lifetime, and increased substance use. Increased self-esteem, increased number of friends, and in-depth friendships were associated with a lower risk of being overweight or obese. Adolescent self-esteem varied based on gender, racial and ethnic group, and changed over time in the African American population but remained static in the Latinx population.

Low Self-Esteem, Autism, and Co-occurring Symptoms: A Comprehensive Narrative Review

This article explores the co-occurring conditions associated with low self-esteem in individuals with autism spectrum disorders. The social and communication impairments common in autism may hinder the formation of social identity and developmental processes. The study reveals that depression is a prevalent co-occurring symptom, identified in 4 out of 12 selected articles. Other associated symptoms include internalizing and externalizing issues, aggression, helplessness, stress, damaged personal identity, low sense of power, conduct problems, anxiety, low happiness levels, hyperactivity, behavioral disorders, and suicidal thoughts. The findings highlight the significance of self-esteem in the mental health of individuals with autism. The conclusion suggests that developing a strong social identity may contribute to psychological well-being in autism, emphasizing the need for therapists to identify the root causes of low self-esteem for targeted treatment. The article underscores the relevance of self-esteem concepts in the autistic population, opening avenues for therapeutic intervention.

An Examination of Narcissism and Schadenfreude within the Framework of Self-Esteem, Social Comparison and Envy

This review study aims to investigate the correlation between narcissism and schadenfreude (the pleasure gained from the misfortunes of others). In this regard, literature investigating the concepts of narcissism and schadenfreude was reviewed. Despite the similarities among the terms self-esteem, envy, and social comparison in the context of both narcissism and schadenfreude, there exists a paucity of studies investigating the relationship between narcissism, including vulnerable and grandiose, and schadenfreude. This study encompasses definitions of narcissism and schadenfreude, as well as concepts of self-esteem, social comparison, and envy, which elucidate their interrelationship, alongside findings from various studies exploring the connection between narcissism and schadenfreude from multiple perspectives. This review study culminated in an examination of the relationship between narcissism and schadenfreude, discussing the findings and offering recommendations for future research and mental health professionals.

Evaluating the correlation between self-esteem and the values of anxiety and depression respectively in an organizational context

The present work aims to analyze, on the one hand, the link between self-esteem levels and anxiety values among professionally active people, respectively, on the other hand, between self-esteem levels and depression values, among the same population . We consider it important to define the concept of self-esteem in relation to anxiety and depression. In order to determine whether the working hypotheses are valid, a questionnaire was drawn up consisting of the items of the Anxiety, Satisfaction and Depression and Enthusiasm at Work Scale (Warr, P. (1990). The measurement of well‐being and other aspects of mental health. Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology, 63(3), 193-210.), respectively of self-esteem related to the organization (Pierce, J. L., Gardner, D. G., Cummings, L. L., & Dunham, R. B. (1989). Organization-based self-esteem: construct definition, measurement, and validation. Academy of Management Journal, 32(3), 622–648.). The group of participants in this study was made up of both male and female people, professionally active, predominantly from the urban environment, with higher education and a varied length of work.

Segmenting and predicting prosocial behaviours among tourists: a latent class approach

ABSTRACT In building sustainable post-pandemic destinations, it is critical to understand the typologies of tourists’ prosocial behaviours. Consequently, this study innovatively applied a latent class cluster analysis to segment the prosocial behaviours of 403 Macau tourists. Three ordered discrete segments were derived based on consistent tourists’ probabilities of performing prosocial behaviours on the trip namely: the Self-centred, the Intermediate, and the Philanthropist. The associated ordered logistic regression predicting the segments revealed that relative to the Self-centred, the Intermediate and the Philanthropist are more likely to face death terror, are sociable – seek vacation friends – and believe in cultural and heritage conservation. Not only does this research expand the theoretical application of Terror Management Theory, the Scrooge effect, and the self-esteem concept, it contributes to prosocial alternative tourism with novel destination management implications for marketing and promoting prosocial tourism performance.

Impact of virtual identities on social media on women’s self-esteem

The present study focuses on the influence of social media (SM) on an individual’s self-esteem and self-evaluation. The construction of virtual identities in cyberspace affect individual’s mental health. The article introduces the concepts of self-esteem and self-evaluation from a psychological perspective and explores the multifaceted factors that influence the formation of virtual identities on social media. Previous research suggests that prolonged exposure to idealized images on SM may lead to dissatisfaction and mood swings in individuals, especially among young women. This phenomenon may be due in part to the fact that social media allows users to edit and present an idealized self-image. The article highlights the fact that the association between social media, self-esteem and self-evaluation is a complex and worthwhile area of in-depth research, which not only has important implications for an individual’s psychological well-being, but also involves a number of important issues in the fields of social psychology and psychological science.

Sosyal Bilimler Öğrencilerinin Sosyo-Kültürel Boyutlar, Benlik Saygısı ve Akademik Öz Yeterlikleri Arasındaki İlişkinin İncelenmesi

Bu çalışma işletme ve sosyal bilimler öğrencilerinin kültürel boyutlar ve akademik yeterlilikleri arasındaki ilişkide benlik saygısının düzenleyici rolünü incelemektedir. Bu araştırma Covid-19 pandemisi sürecinde üniversitede eğitim gören çoğunlukla işletme ve sosyal bilimler öğrencilerinin belli kültürel boyutlardan (güç aralığı, belirsizlik ve bireyselcilik/toplumsalcılık) hayata bakış açılarını ve başarı durumlarını belirleyen benlik saygısı ve akademik öz yeterlilikleri arasındaki ilişkiyi incelemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Sayısal yöntem ve ilişkisel tasarımla yüksek eğitim gören 215 öğrenciden toplanan veriler incelenerek yapılmıştır. Araştırma bulguları öğrencilerin güç aralığının düşük olduğunu, belirsizliklerle baş edemediklerini ve kuralcı olduklarını göstermiştir. Bireyselcilik ve toplumsalcılık boyutu açısından da arada kaldıkları anlaşılmaktadır. Benlik saygısı ve akademik yeterlilik açısından öğrencilerin kendilerine güvendiği anlaşılmaktadır. Benlik saygısı tek başına akademik öz yeterliliği büyük ölçüde etkilemekte ve cinsiyete göre farklılık göstermemektedir. Akademik öz yeterlilik kavramının algılanmasında kız öğrenciler lehine; kültürel boyutlar algılamasında ise erkek öğrencilerin lehine bir fark bulunmuştur. Ancak, bu sonuç kız öğrencilerin eşitsizliğe daha az katlandıklarını ve belirsizle mücadelede de erkek öğrencilere kıyasla nispeten daha başarılı olduklarını işaret etmektedir. Araştırma bulgularının mezuniyetlerinden sonra iş başvurusu yaptıklarında işletmelerin insan kaynakları uzmanlarına da yol gösterebileceği düşünülmüştür.

Self-Esteem: A Study on Elite Para-Throwers of India

The degree of valuation and competency that we give to ourselves determines our self-esteem. We may boost our self-esteem by having a good perception of our bodies as well as the physical talents and abilities we develop through sports. We gain a sense of positive self-worth as a consequence of the praise we receive through family and friends, as well as the social bonds we form as a result of our participation in sports and physical activity. Self-esteem plays a key role in athletic performance and sporting success. In the past, studies have focused on the self-esteem concept of sports psychology in sports in elite athletes; however, there is little research on self-esteem in para-sports. This study aimed to examine the self-esteem of elite Indian para-throwers who participated at the international level. Based on this, the aim of this study was to investigate the mental self-esteem levels of elite Indian. The study group of the research consisted of 11 para-throwers (6 = standing thrower and 5 = seated thrower) who participated at the international level (Paralympic, World Championship, World Grand Prix) aged 18–40 years. Purposeful sampling approaches and easily accessible sampling methods were used in the selection of the study group. The scale form was used to collect research data. The study consisted of two parts. In the first part, of this form, there was a personal information form developed by the investigator to collect demographic information of athletes, and in the second part, there was the “Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale” developed by Rosenberg (1965). After analysis of the data, it was found that there were no significant differences in self-esteem level at level 0.05 in both groups of para-throwers and most of the para-athletes found average on self-esteem concept.

The relationship between self-esteem and the employees' s motivation in work of state organizations

Work feeds many different aspects of people's lives. It influences self-identity, self-esteem and opportunities for personal development. Over time, researchers have paid considerable attention to the concept of self-esteem, trying to understand its influence on other psychological constructs such as motivation and performance at work, anxiety and risk-taking. In most companies today, motivating employees to perform to their full potential in the workplace is one of the key elements in modern human resource management. It is believed that when an employee is motivated, he will generally be satisfied with the job, which will have an impact on self-esteem.Abraham Maslow was the first modern psychologist to move away from the idea that people are passive and driven only by physiological impulses and external stimuli. His theory of human motivation suggested that people are motivated by both psychological and physiological needs. Motivation is the basic force that explains why people engage in certain behaviors. Some people seem to be driven by an increased interest in their work, a deep level of pleasure in what they do, and others seem to be more motivated by external incentives in their work, such as promotion, salary, recognition, and so on.An individual's self-esteem, formed around work and organizational experiences, plays a significant role in determining employees' motivation, attitudes and work-related behaviors. Self-esteem refers to an individual's overall self-assessment of his or her skills. In this sense, self-esteem is a personal assessment that reflects what people think about themselves as individuals. At the same time, self-acceptance is essential for mental health and performance at work. Lack of the ability to accept oneself unconditionally can lead to a variety of difficulties in the workplace.As a general objective, the paper aims to measure the relationship, the connection between self-esteem and motivation at work, with an emphasis on the branches of motivation.The relatively low number of participants and the fact that all individuals belong to the urban environment can be mentioned as limitations of the study.

Emotional Strengths and Difficulties in Italian Adolescents: Analysis of Adaptation through the SDQ

An adolescent’s knowledge of him/herself (positive aspects and weaknesses) is shaped by interactions with external and internal factors, including the family context and the educational environment. The assessment of this knowledge serves to construct the concept of self-esteem. The main objective of the present study was to examine the prevalence of self-reported emotional and behavioral symptoms in a representative sample of Italian adolescents and their relationship with gender and age, using Goodman’s Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire (SDQ). A total of 440 adolescents (49.8% female) aged 15–18 years from the southern Italy region participated. The results show the prevalence of emotional and behavioral symptoms in the analyzed sample. Gender differences were also found in the variables under study. In conclusion, the SDQ test is offered as an agile, simplified, and effective tool, to be proposed to all formative agents who are concerned with the interest and care not only of young people, but also of the future of socio-political realities.

Semantic data management in P2P systems driven by self-esteem

Abstract This paper is a contribution to semantic data management in P2P systems. It is based on the previous works of the same authors in which a declarative semantics for P2P systems is defined: under this semantics, only facts not making the local databases inconsistent are imported (Weak Models) and the Maximal Weak Models are those in which peers import maximal sets of facts not violating integrity constraints. The proposal, presented in this paper, stems from the following two observations: (i) the Maximal Weak Model Semantics ensures that locally consistent P2P systems always admit a maximal weak model, but fails for locally inconsistent P2P systems; (ii) the self-esteem degree of a peer should impact on the interaction with other peers in the system so that driving the integration process. From the above-mentioned observations a more general framework is presented. Our proposal is able to manage local inconsistencies and allows to model a peer integration process driven by the self-esteem degree of each peer. Different self-esteem degrees could be considered; in this paper we focus our attention on three different scenarios in which a generic peer can declare an high, low or medium self-esteem degree, stating respectively that it trusts its own knowledge more, less or equally with respect to the knowledge that can be provided from the rest of the system. Three different basic semantics are proposed, High, Low, Medium Self-Esteem Semantics and results about the computational complexity of P2P logic queries are investigated by considering brave and cautions reasoning. The paper also presents an extension of the basic framework of the Self-Esteem Semantics that models a finer-grained self-esteem concept and allows each peer to exhibit different levels of self-esteem each of them defined with respect to a subset of its mapping rules.

Estime De Soi, Soutien Social ET Performance Scolaire Des Élèves Stagiaires Du Lycée Hôtelier De Cocody (Côte D’ivoire)

The scientific literature could suggest that high self-esteem can positively influence students' academic performance. This leads us to ask the following main question: "Does high self-esteem in a student alone promote his academic performance?" This research question allowed us to explore the concept of self-esteem, social support and academic performance. The objective of the study is to analyze the relationship between self-esteem, social support and the academic performance of students. The hypothesis states that high self-esteem, frequency of social support lead to good academic performance. The theoretical grounding of this research is the self-esteem theory of André and Lelord (1999). The study was carried out with student trainees from the Lycée hôtelier de Cocody, with a sample of fifty-five (55) student trainees made up of twenty-nine (29) girls and twenty-six (26) boys. The data collection techniques used are documentary research, the questionnaire and the semi-structured interview. The self-esteem questionnaire according to Duclos, Laporte and Ross (1995) was administered to student interns. The data collected revealed that high self-esteem and the frequency of social support positively influence the academic performance of student interns.

SELF-ASSESSMENT AS PSYCHOLOGICAL PHENOMENON

The presented article discusses the problems of formation and development of selfesteem as a psychological phenomenon. In psychology, the concept of self-esteem did not immediately take shape as a special phenomenon. Its formation was associated with the concept of 'I'. There are differences of opinion about the nature of the phenomenon of self-esteem. Self-esteem is very important in human life. It regulates behavior and at the same time expresses a person's attitude towards himself. Self-esteem has a significant impact on a person's effectiveness, efficiency and, most importantly, the formation of personality. The article analyzes the literature on current issues related to the nature and origin of self-esteem.

Self-Esteem, Individual versus Team Sports.

On the basis of the integrative concept of self-esteem discussed in sport-related literature, various studies refer to its importance in the context of sports activities. Self-esteem is often understood as a personality trait because it tends to be durable and stable. No accurate description is available regarding the types of sports in which subjects participated. The main purpose of the research was to identify and compare the levels of self-esteem and self-confidence of athletes practicing individual and team sports. The self-esteem and self-confidence levels were measured by the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (Rosenberg 1979) and the Self-Confidence Test (Romek, 2000). All participants were males. Subjects were divided into two categories: 40 for individual sports and 40 for team sports. There were two evaluation periods: P1, the beginning of the preparation period, and P2, the beginning of the competition period. There were statistically significant differences for P1 (p < 0.002) and P2 (p < 0.003). The differences between the average values of the two periods were 5.8 points and 3.8 points, both favorable to the group of athletes who practiced individual sports. There were significant differences between the individual and team athletes in self-esteem level. Individual athletes presented a higher level of self-esteem.

Feeling like ‘a damaged battery’: exploring the lived experiences of UK university students with ME/CFS

ABSTRACT Introduction: Research regarding students with myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME)/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) has been limited. This study aimed to understand how their subjective well-being had been affected by their condition by exploring their experiences and sense-making processes. Methods Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight students using video-calling software and were enriched by asking participants to think of a metaphor to describe their illness. Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis was used to analyze the interviews. Results Three themes were developed: University as (de)legitimizing, Negotiating disclosure and Loss and adaptation. Rosenberg’s conceptualization of self-esteem was used as a framework to explore the findings as it reflected participants’ accounts and provided an insight into their subjective well-being. Participants discussed their reduced self-esteem through experiences of delegitimization and stigma at their universities, as well as how they became more accepting of their illness and increased their self-esteem. Conclusion This study provides an understanding of how the lives of students with ME/CFS have been affected by their condition, including their experiences at university and in their social context. Participants raised potential avenues in which universities can act in a supportive manner to be empowering and enhance self-esteem, which is important due to the debated nature of the illness.

A Critical Study on the Self-esteem in Meritocracy Education : Exploring the Complementation of Self-respect Aspect

이 글의 목적은 능력주의 프레임의 교육에서 권장되는 ‘자존감’의 특성을 비판적으로 고찰하고 이를 보완하기 위한 자기관계로서 ‘자기존중’의 교육적 의미를 밝히는 데 있다. 이를 위해 먼저 사회철학 담론에서 자존감(self-esteem) 개념이 사회의 재화와 명예가 차등적으로 분배되는 데 영향을 받는 자기평가라는 점을 제시하고, 이러한 특성이 능력주의와 밀접한 관련이 있음을 논한다. 이어 교육이 능력주의 이념에 종속되어 높은 학력을 위한 경쟁의 각축장이 되는 가운데 학생들에게 자존감을 가질 것을 권장한다면, 이때의 자기평가를 위한 기준은 가시적이고 외적인 결과에 토대할 뿐만 아니라 경쟁의 승자와 패자 모두 오만과 분노를 내면화하고 인간다움을 상실할 수 있는 위험에 노출될 수 있음을 주목한다. 그리하여 인간다움을 회복하고 내적인 자기평가 기준을 마련하는 데 기여할 수 있는 개념적 자원으로서 자기존중(self-respect)을 제안한다. 자기존중 개념은 스스로에게 내리는 자기평가임에도 불구하고 타인과의 관계 속에서 형성되는 특성이 있다는 것을 밝히면서, 이를 위한 교육적 접근에서 착안할 지점을 인간다움의 표현 및 태도의 형성 측면에서 논한다. 궁극적으로 자존감과 자기존중은 상호보완적인 개념으로 이해될 수 있으며, 교육이 능력주의의 작동을 위해 일정한 역할을 할 수밖에 없지만 그 원리의 작동 바깥에서 ‘삶을 살아내는 능력’을 키우는 데에도 기여할 수 있어야 함을 제안한다.The purpose of this paper is to examine the characteristics of self-esteem recommended in education based on the Meritocracy and to clarify the educational meaning of self-respect as a self-relationship to complement it. To this end, I suggest that the concept of self-esteem in the social philosophy discourse is a self-evaluation influenced by the differential distribution of goods and honor in society and discuss these characteristics are closely related to Meritocracy. Next, it is noted that if the students are recommended to have self-esteem while education becomes a battleground for competition for high academic achievement under the Meritocracy, the criteria for self-evaluation will not only base visible and external results, but could expose both winners and losers of competition to the risk of losing their humanity. Thus, I suggest self-respect as a conceptual resource that can contribute to restoring humanity and establishing internal self-evaluation criteria. Although the concept of self-respect is self-evaluation, it has characteristics that are formed in relationships with others. I discuss the points to focus on in the educational approach for this in terms of the expression of humanity and the formulation of attitude. Ultimately, self-esteem and self-respect can be understood as complementary concepts, suggesting that although education has no choice but to play a certain role for the operation of Meritocracy, it can also contribute to developing the ‘ability to live life’ outside the operation of the principle of Meritocracy.

Self-Esteem and Fixed Price in Islamic Law (A Critical Study of the Pesuke Tradition among the Nobles of the Sasak Tribe of Lombok)

The Sasak aristocracy in Lombok is still very passionate about carrying out the pesuke tradition. Although, the pesuke practice did not infrequently cause various conflicts between the prospective bride and groom's families. For instance, when the prospective bride's family sets the pesuke value that is too high, which can burden the groom's family. In contrast, religion forbids us to burden and encourages us to work together, help, and ease each other to create a happy and prosperous family in the world to the hereafter. Therefore, this study aims to examine how the perspective of Islamic law on the concept of self-esteem and fixed price in the pesuke tradition. The results showed that the motivation of the Sasak aristocratic community in setting a high pesuke value so that the public still respected their communal identity. In addition, another reason in determining the fantastic value of pesuke is to make it a fixed price in a marriage with melaik, meruput, or merugul systems. Therefore, the groom's family must pay this Pesuke as a ransom to restore the bride's family's dignity. Meanwhile, according to Islamic law, the pesuke tradition as a form of maintaining self-respect and fixed price should be a tolerable case for the creation of a peaceful and prosperous marriage because of the emergence of mutual willingness and pleasure between the two parties, by the essence of pesuke, namely mutual desire.

Telling it like it was: dignity therapy and moral reckoning in palliative care.

This article offers a conceptual analysis of self-respect and self-esteem that informs the ethics of psychotherapy in palliative care. It is focused on Chochinov's Dignity Therapy, an internationally recognized treatment offered to dying patients who express a need to bolster their sense of self-worth. Although Dignity Therapy aims to help such patients affirm their value through summarized life stories that are shared with their survivors, it is not grounded in a robust theory of self-respect. There is reason to be skeptical about deathbed narratives, and Dignity Therapy can unintentionally encourage distorted representations at odds with the self-respect it aims to affirm. Dignity therapy can also encourage distortions of self-esteem that are in conflict with self-respect. Although Chochinov does not address it, the distinction between self-respect and self-esteem is relevant to deathbed accounts. Dillon's feminist revisioning of self-respect can inform the practice of Dignity Therapy by encouraging honest life stories through a reckoning with one's moral complexity, especially in moral generativity cases where patients seek forgiveness, relate atonement, or present their lives as examples to be followed. Her concept of self-esteem allows for therapeutic benefits that are less demanding, but no less significant, than those derived from a moral reckoning. Appropriate affirmations of self-esteem can provide much-needed solace when self-respect is damaged beyond adequate repair. Dillon's account of self-respect and self-esteem enables a richer understanding of the kinds of personal evaluation and disclosure that Dignity Therapy accommodates. As such, their place in Dignity Therapy needs more critical evaluation than it has received.

Training of judiciaries and the effectiveness of the judicial system in Russia

The article examines the theoretical, legal, social and psychological aspects of the formation of a highly effective judiciary in Russia on the basis of a systematic approach in the preparation and selection of personnel for the judicial system. The authors substantiate the most significant tasks of forming the professional identity of Russian judges based on social and psychological research, practical experience of legal personnel, information educational technologies, and analyze the results of assessing the effectiveness of the Russian judicial system according to European standards. When writing the article, general scientific and special research methods were used: structural and functional analysis, comparative legal and analytical methods. The research carried out by the authors made it possible to obtain the following results: to form a comprehensive idea of the identity of a judge based on the concepts of self-esteem, behavior control, communication characteristics and social abilities. It is possible to use these results in the academic process of educational institutions of secondary vocational education and higher education, in the selection of personnel and social and psychological support for the activities of judges and employees of the judicial apparatus. The importance of such studies is associated with the high social significance of this type of activity, its impact on the level of social trust in law and legality.
