High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Self-esteem is a term in psychology to reflect a person's overall evaluation or appraisal of his or her own worth. Self-esteem encompasses beliefs (for example, |I am competent,| |I am worthy|) and emotions such as triumph, despair, pride and shame: some would distinguish how 'the self-concept is what we think about the self; self-esteem, the positive or negative evaluation of the self, is how we feel about it'. A person's self-concept consists of the beliefs one has about oneself, one's self perception, or, as Hamlyn (1983: 241) expresses it, |the picture of oneself.| Baumesiter (1997) described Self concept as totally perception which people hold about him/ herself (p. 681). It is not the |facts| about one-self but rather what one believes to be true about one-self (Sarah Mercer, p. 14). Early researchers used self-concept as a descriptive construct, such as 'I am an athlete' (Rosenberg 1979). However, recent theories adapted self esteem with more evaluative statements like 'I am good at tennis' (Harter 1996). The latter statement not only describes the self, as the individual identifies himself or herself, but evaluates the self by putting worthiness on it. Therefore, self-esteem is defined as both descriptive and evaluative self-related statements. As a social psychological construct, self-esteem is attractive because researchers have conceptualized it as an influential predictor of relevant outcomes, such as academic achievement (Marsh 1990) or exercise behavior (Hagger et al. 1998). In addition, self-esteem has also been treated as an important outcome due to its close relation with psychological well-being (Marsh 1989). Self-concept is widely believed to be composed of more than just perceived competence, and this leads to the relative degree of evaluative and cognitive beliefs of the construct. Self-esteem is viewed as the most evaluative and affective of the three constructs (Harter, 1999a). Overlay, self-concept is considered as the beliefs about perceived competence and self-evaluative in a specific domain.Self-esteem can apply specifically to a particular dimension (for example, |I believe I am a good writer and I feel happy about that|) or have global extent (for example, |I believe I am a bad person, and feel bad about myself in general|). Psychologists usually regard self-esteem as an enduring personality characteristic (|trait| self-esteem), though normal, short-term variations (|state| self-esteem) also exist.
