according to your standard and that of others, while negative self-esteem is the
opposite which is feeling distraught or down and unaccepted by others.
According to Tafarodi & Swann (1995), there are many factors to identify
the level of self-esteem of an individual and some of the major factors are:
- own appearance
- how satisfied you are in a relationship; and
- how you view your performance.
Our self-esteem may change from time to time depending on the situation we
encounter in our daily life. Since it can be partly a trait that someone can
possess.
It depends on how you perceive the things coming your way.
Self-Efficacy
.
Self-efficacy
. is not considered as a trait. “[It]
does not refer to your abilities
but rather to your beliefs about what you can do
with your abilities” (Stajkovic &
Luthans, 1998). It is your will to produce an
effect on a specific thing. It is your
self-belief to effectively achieve your most
important goal. The stronger the belief, the
bigger the possibility to achieve a positive
result. For instance, you are aiming
for a higher grade and you are confidently
believing it then, it will happen.
Maddux and Kleiman (2000) define and explain the five (5)
different
. ways
that influenced self-efficacy beliefs from the ideas of Albert Badura,
a professor
and
. a psychologist.

emotion (e.g.
shame) and physical state (e.g. shaking) come together, it will
affect your self efficacy.
If negative mood connects with negative physical sensation, the
result will be negative. And if it is positive, most likely the result
will be positive.
Self and Identity
• Have you tried to talk to yourself in
front of the mirror? What did you
see?
• According to William James, a
psychologist, “the self is what
happens when I reflect
• upon ME". Taylor (1989) described
the self as a Reflective Project. How
we see
• ourselves is geared toward
improving ourselves depending on a
lot of factors.

Dan McAdam, a psychologist, reiterated that even there are many ways on
how we reflect to improve ourselves, it brings us back to these three (3)
categories

3. Self as Autobiographical
Author
o He/she as the creator of
his/her own entire life story. It is
about
how oneself is developed from
his/her past, up to the present,
and
what he/she will become in the
future.

Judgment and
Decision Making
As an individual, you
are expected to act and
decide on your own.
Most people
tend to decide based
on the intuitions and
available information
that could be a
hindrance in making a
wise decision.

For instance, you applied for different courses in five (5) different
universities
and you were able to qualify in all. Now, how will you decide?
• What makes me
• angry?
What makes
me happy?
