Emotional intelligence includes self-perception regarding attention to feelings, clarity of feelings and mood repair. The aim of this work is to study the relationship between emotional intelligence, self-concept, and self-esteem. The sample included 137 adolescents from Buenos Aires City, that attended middle school, with a mean age of 13.12 years old (SD = 1.79). Correlation analysis and linear regression analysis were performed. Results showed significant positive correlations between self-esteem and clarity of feelings on the complete sample and the female subsample, and between mood repair and self-esteem on the male subsample. The linear regression analyses showed results on the same line. It´s concluded that positive self-evaluation regarding emotions, emotion comprehension and recovery can minimize the effect of negative experiences.

Seventy-eight employees (32 males, 46 females) took part in a study to test the hypothesis that the core self-evaluation components of self-esteem and self-efficacy moderate the relationship between workplace stressors (role conflict and role-ambiguity) and strain (depression, anxiety, and tension-stress). Results supported our hypotheses in that self-efficacy moderated the relationship between role ambiguity and depression and between performance role ambiguity and stress, while self-esteem moderated the relationship between role ambiguity and anxiety, between performance role ambiguity and anxiety, and between performance role ambiguity and stress. These findings reinforce the importance of considering role stress variables in relation to the context of an interactive person/environment fit model and provide further insight into the nature of the stress process itself. Furthermore, these results indicate that the function of self-esteem and self-efficacy in the stress process is not identical. Implications for the conceptualisation of the transactional model of stress are discussed.

From a self-evaluation perspective, we explored the influence of negative workplace gossip on targeted employees’ innovative behavior. We surveyed 296 employees of 19 enterprises. The results of regression analysis showed that negative workplace gossip was negatively related to employees’ innovative behavior, that organization-based self-esteem mediated the relationship between negative workplace gossip and employees’ innovative behavior, and that employees’ creative selfefficacy moderated the relationship between organization-based self-esteem and employees’ innovative behavior, such that the positive relationship was stronger when employees’ creative self-efficacy was higher. Our findings offer insight into the potential harm of gossip in the workplace and contribute to delineating the underlying mechanism and boundary condition of the link between negative workplace gossip and employees’ innovative behavior. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.

The imposter phenomenon (IP) is associated with a bias towards negative evaluation of one’s own performances. In this study, we present a novel experimental paradigm to explore the relationship between IP and negative performance evaluation. First, we address the possibility that the negative evaluations associated with IP are feigned for social benefit. Second, we test the hypothesis that these evaluations are driven by biases in the search for evidence, such that those high in IP seek out more negative feedback regarding their own performance, leading to more negative judgments. Finally, we assess whether the evaluations are better explained with reference to other constructs, namely, depression and low-self-esteem.We find that participants high in IP evaluated their performances more negatively. This occurs in an anonymous online setting, with no social incentive to feigning such behaviour, contradicting suggestions that the negative self-evaluation associated with IP is feigned for social benefits. Despite evaluating their performances more negatively, participants high in IP do not exhibit a bias towards seeking out more negative feedback regarding their performance. When controlling for the effect of depression and low self-esteem, IP is only predictive of one form of negative performance evaluation: comparison to others.

The relationship between well-being and the personal strength of hope has been elaborated by the identification of internal (self) and external (family, peers, spiritual) locus-of-hope dimensions. Du, Bernardo, and Yeung (2015) showed that self-esteem (personal and relational) mediates the relationship between locus-of-hope and life satisfaction. Locus-of-hope’s goal-related thoughts involve self-evaluation that may either enhance or diminish self-worth, which then influences life satisfaction. We tested the mediated model in three cultural groups: Malaysians, Macau Chinese, and Filipinos. Participants completed scales measuring locus-of-hope, personal and relational self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Path analysis showed significant indirect effects in all cultures: (a) internal locus-of-hope on life satisfaction, mediated by personal self-esteem, and (b) external-family locus-of-hope on life satisfaction, mediated by relational self-esteem. Other significant indirect effects were found in specific cultural groups. Cross-cultural similarities and differences are discussed with reference to how distinct cultures give different meanings to forms of agency associated with the personal strength of hope, creating distinct pathways towards life satisfaction.

Resumen: En este estudio se analizan las relaciones entre tres variables relativas a la autoevaluación como son la autoestima, la autoeficacia y la satisfacción vital, así como sus tendencias evolutivas y las diferencias de género en una muestra de 2400 adolescentes con edades comprendidas entre los 12 y 17 años pertenecientes a 20 centros educativos de Andalucía Occidental. Por otro lado, se presentan las relaciones de estas tres variables con el estilo educativo parental. Los resultados indicaron correlaciones significativas entre las variables de autoevaluación, así como con las dimensiones del estilo parental. Concretamente, los niveles de afecto-comunicación y el sentido del humor de madres y padres fueron aspectos que se relacionaron de forma muy significativa con la autoevaluación adolescente. Por otra parte, aparecieron importantes diferencias de género en las trayectorias que la autoestima, la autoeficacia y la satisfacción vital siguen durante la adolescencia, ya que mientras que en los chicos se observaron pocos cambios, en las chicas la tendencia fue descendente, de forma que las adolescentes de más edad mostraron las autovaloraciones más bajas. Adolescents own perceptions of self-evaluation: Self esteem, self efficacy and life satisfaction Abstract: In this study we analyse the relationships between three variables of self-evaluations, being self esteem, self efficacy and life satisfaction. Moreover, we study the evolution of these three aspects during adolescence paying attention to gender differences. The sample was made up of 2400 teenagers aged between 12 and 17 years old taken from 20 high schools in Western Andalusia. In this study we also analyse the relationship between teenager self evaluation and parenting style. Our results show, on one hand, high correlation between self esteem, self efficacy and life satisfaction, and on the other hand, between teenager self evaluation and parenting style. In fact, parental warmth and communication and sense of humor show high correlation with adolescent self evaluation. We also found increasing differences between boys and girls as regards their self esteem, self efficacy and life satisfaction as adolescence progressed. Specifically, little changed was observed in boys, whereas girls’ self-evaluation decreased with age.

Background. It is stated that the anxiety issue of adolescent pupils has been increasing a concern in teachers and society (Lee & Hankin, 2009; Mocus, Schoot, Klimstra, & Branje, 2011). The analysis of the reasons affecting a poor emotional state, anxiety processes and low self- esteem of adolescents leads to the following factors: socio-economic status, parenting styles (Cohen, Mansoor, Gagin, & Lorber, 2008), insecure attachment and non-functional beliefs (Lee & Hankin, 2009), adaptation difficulties, relationship with peers (Mocus et al., 2011), emotional pressures at  school  (Klizas,  Ramanauskienė,  Dumčienė,  &  Linonis,  2010).  Meanwhile,  it  was  found  that  involvement  in sports activities positively affects adolescents’ self-esteem, contributes to adolescents’ identity and positive self-evaluation  development,  encourages  cooperation  with  peers,  develops  physical  skills,  character,  creativity,  and value system, distracts from harmful habits, and helps to integrate into society (Dunn, Dunn, & Bayduza, 2008; Šniras & Malinauskas, 2006). Thus, it is evident that today’s adolescents, facing growing demands in environment, society, experience more anxiety, which may affect their self-evaluation, self-confidence, self-esteem and vice versa, deteriorate their quality of life and mental health. So, it is highly important for educators (school teachers, coaches, etc.) to understand what causes anxiety in adolescents and how such factors as sport may have an influence on it. Research aim was to determine the relationship between the self-esteem, self-confidence and anxiety for adolescent athletes  and  non-athletes.  Research  object  was  the  relationship  of  adolescents’  self-esteem,  self-confidence  and anxiety.Methods. The pilot survey was carried out in Kaunas, in 2013. Adolescent athletes and non-athletes aged 16 were selected for the research. The study employed questionnaires survey method. Results and conclusions. It was discovered that the self-esteem and self-confidence of athlete adolescents was higher compared with non-athlete adolescents. The results showed that comparing the different anxiety factors of athlete and non-athlete adolescents no significant differences were found with the exception of anxiety related to social stress experience, and it is lower for athlete respondents. The analysis of self-esteem, self-confidence and anxiety relationship, depending on the sport activity, determined that the sport element had little relevance to these factors.Keywords: students, self-determination, anxiety, sport.

The present study discusses the role of self-esteem in moderating the relationship between mortality salience and valuation of possessions. Terror Management Theory (TMT) proposes that self-esteem serves as an anxiety buffer when thoughts of death are salient and that compared to people with low self-esteem, individuals with high self-esteem are less defensive in response to mortality salience. On the other hand, studies about the mere-ownership effect suggest that people with high self-esteem extend their positive self-evaluation to the evaluation of possessions just because they own them. Thus, self-esteem affects both reactions to mortality salience and the valuation process. However, no studies have explored the effect of mortality salience on possession valuation. The present study suggests that when reminded of death, people with low self-esteem raise the minimum selling price of owned objects, while people with high self-esteem lower the price. A moderation model shows that self-esteem moderates the relationship between mortality salience and valuation of possession.

The aim of this study was to examine the relationship between self-esteem, narcissism, and measures of proactive and reactive aggression in two large community samples of young adults from two countries (the United Kingdom and Malaysia). Self-esteem and narcissism were measured through the Multidimensional Self-Esteem Inventory and the Narcissistic Personality Inventory, whereas aggression was measured by the Reactive–Proactive Aggression Questionnaire in 501 young adults with approximately equal numbers of men and women. In both countries, low levels of self-esteem were associated with reactive aggression while high levels of narcissism were associated with proactive aggression. Although this pattern was similar for both genders, the associations between both types of self-evaluation and proactive aggression were greater for men. The results suggest that people with low self-esteem are prone to greater reactive aggression due to anger and hostility, whereas those with high levels of narcissism can act with deliberate, planned aggression to achieve a goal. These effects appear stable across gender and culture.
