Self-esteem in action: From direct causality to motive and mediator of self-performative action

Abstract: Self-esteem research has been in ''crisis'' during the last decade, due to the lack of strong, consistent correlations between self-esteem and behavioral outcomes. Some researchers have interpreted this as indicating that self-esteem is inconsequential in many important areas of life. However, the model of direct causality used in correlational research, between a general self-esteem trait and specific behaviors, may be unrealistic. In contrast, this paper develops a model of self-esteem-motivated behaviour as… Show more

“…Although certain moderators, such as social risk, might influence the strength of the association between self-esteem and interpersonal experience, some have argued that self-esteem’s influence on behavior might be indirect and complex (e.g., Strandell, 2017). From this perspective, investigating the link between self-esteem and interpersonal outcomes is overly simplistic and neglects the multiple ways in which various levels of self-esteem might exert diverging influence on those with lower and higher self-esteem but might ultimately lead to the same outcome.…”

“…We argue that decisions regarding the extent to which productive activities are solely carried out by one sex may be greatly influenced by culture. Strandell (2016) suggests that culture explains the differences in construal that people have about themselves and others. Arguably, culture will affect how people form implicit prototypes of managers.…”

“…Self-esteem is based on different comparisons for different individuals, depending on what they see as important ( Chen et al, 2016 ; Du et al, 2017 ; Stephenson et al, 2017 ; Strandell, 2017 ). There are three main components of this: who, when and what.…”

“…Self-esteem reflects self-perceived achievements in relation to self-defined aspirations ( James, 1890/1983 ; Eromo and Levy, 2017 ). Different individuals focus on achievements in different aspects of their lives, social as well as physical, and give different weights to the opinions of others ( Du et al, 2017 ; Stephenson et al, 2017 ; Strandell, 2017 ). These differences may be mediated by gender, culture, and worldview ( Chen et al, 2016 ; Ciccolo et al, 2016 ).…”
