We propose two fundamentally different motives for helping: gaining pleasure and fulfilling one's duty (''pressure''). Using the newly developed Pleasure and Pressure based Prosocial Motivation Scale, we demonstrated the distinctiveness of pleasure and pressure based prosocial motivation in three studies. Although the two motives exhibited different relations to a variety of personality characteristics, they were similarly related to trans-situational helping. Of particular interest, pleasure based prosocial motivation was positively related to self-actualization, self-esteem, life satisfaction, and positive affect and negatively related to negative affect. On the contrary, pressure based prosocial motivation was unrelated to self-actualization, self-esteem, life satisfaction, and positive affect but positively related to negative affect. These results qualify research showing that prosocial life goals generally increase subjective well-being.

“…This is not always the case, however; and the discrepancies highlight a broader distinction. Although both authentic pride and genuine self-esteem reflect prosocial personality tendencies that likely promote adaptive functioning, they may have differential links to the two primary components of self-esteem (Tafarodi & Swann, 2001). Specifically, genuine self-esteem may be more strongly related to self-liking, whereas authentic pride may more closely approximate feelings of self-competence.…”

“…First, self-esteem can positively contribute to higher Page 5 ` efficacy in decision making because people with higher self-esteem have more positive attitudes and value themselves more (Tafarodi & Swann Jr., 2001) and thus tend to prioritize their interests. In addition, people with higher self-esteem are satisfied with being on an equal plane with others and are less likely to be concerned with social expectations and comparisons (Kernis & Paradise, 2002).…”

The aim of this study is to explain why students with high self-esteem have lower career uncertainty than students with low self-esteem. Based on self-determination theory, students with high self-esteem would have higher efficacy in making decisions, which would encourage them to choose a major for self-concordance, such as interest and ability, and increase their course involvement. Both factors are assumed to be related to lower career showing that students with high self-esteem had lower career uncertainty because they chose a major for self-concordant reasons and had a strong motivation to learn, both of which contribute to lower career uncertainty.
