Self‐ambivalence and reactions to success versus failure

Abstract: People differ in the extent to which their self-evaluations fluctuate in response to positive and negative events. This research tests whether self-ambivalence predicts this self-evaluative reactivity. Participants first completed measures of self-ambivalence and baseline self-esteem. Next, they were induced a success or failure experience in a cognitive task and finally rated their cognitive self-evaluations (taskspecific ability, state self-esteem) and affective reactions (self-feelings, mood).

“…Yüksek düzeyde benlik ikilemi yaşayan bireylerin istenmeyen düşünceleri kendilerine yönelik algıları ile büyük bir çelişki gösterdiği (Rowa ve Purdon, 2003) için istenmeyen düşünceler ve durumlar karşısında kendi kimliklerini daha çok olumsuz olarak algılamaya ve durumu abartmaya başlayarak yaşadıkları uyumsuzluğu arttırmaktadırlar (Ferrier ve Brewin, 2005). Yüksek düzeyde benlik ikilemi yaşayan bireyler başarılı oldukları durumlara pozitif, başarısız oldukları durumlara ise negatif tepkiler verirken; düşük düzeyde benlik ikilemine sahip olan bireylerin başarı ve başarısızlık durumları karşısında gösterdikleri tepkiler arasında büyük farklılıklar bulunmamaktadır (Riketta ve Ziegler, 2007).…”
