I deserve better outcomes: Self-esteem relates to stronger reactions to unfairness
2022, Personality and Individual DifferencesCitation Excerpt :High self-esteem may be associated with a positive view of self (Campbell et al., 2002), which may lead to a sense of deservingness (Wood et al., 2009). For instance, people with higher self-esteem tend to report greater levels of confidence (Campbell, 1990), optimism (Wenglert & Rosén, 1995), and self-worth (Crocker & Wolfe, 2001). They also rate their personal traits as above average (Campbell et al., 2002), perceive themselves to be more socially approved and valued by others (Anthony et al., 2007; MacDonald et al., 2003), and are more confident in their ability and competence (Lane et al., 2004; Wojciszke & Struzynska-Kujalowicz, 2007).
Gender differences in self-esteem, unvarnished self-evaluation, future orientation, self-enhancement and self-derogation in a U.S. national sample
2019, Personality and Individual DifferencesCitation Excerpt :This strong correlation observed between self-esteem and optimism is consistent with the idea that positivity underlies both self-esteem and dispositional optimism (Caprara, Eisenberg, & Alessandri, 2017), and with the measures of “core self-evaluation” (Arias & Arias, 2017; Gu, Wen, & Fan, 2015), which include items that assess current and future self. Wenglert and Rosén (1995) suggest that self-esteem can be conceptualized as encompassing aspects of optimism, such as the expectation that things that enhance one's self-worth will occur. The integration of optimism with self-esteem could reflect temporal self-integration, since people tend to perceive themselves over time as integrated entities (MacKinnon, 2015, pg. 40–41).
Become more optimistic by imagining a best possible self: Effects of a two week intervention
2011, Journal of Behavior Therapy and Experimental PsychiatryCitation Excerpt :Over this period, many cross-sectional and longitudinal studies have indicated that optimism correlates with and predicts psychological as well as physical well-being, both in the presence and absence of stressors (Scheier & Carver, 1986, 1992). Optimism has been shown to correlate with higher levels of self-esteem (Lyubomirsky, Tkach, & Dimatteo, 2006), positive mood (Andersson, 1996; Ben-Zur, 2002; Räikkönen, Matthews, Flory, Owens, & Gump, 1999; Wenglert & Rosen, 1995), more resilience to stressful or negative events (Solberg, Segerstrom, & Septhon, 2005), self-mastery (Andersson, 1996), active coping (Andersson, 1996; Carver & Scheier, 1999), prevention and stagnation of illnesses (Kivimäki et al., 2005; Matthews, Raikkonen, Sutton-Tyrell, & Kuller, 2004), and recovery from illnesses, injuries, various types of surgery, and major life-events (Kivimäki et al., 2005; Mahler & Kulik, 2000; Peters et al., 2007; Scheier & Carver, 1986; Scheier et al., 1999). Although some studies have revealed less desirable correlates, for example reduced health-protective behaviors (Tennen & Affleck, 1987; Weinstein & Lyon, 1999), more positive expectations and continued gambling despite negative gaming outcomes (Gibson & Sanbonmatsu, 2004), and lower immune responses under high challenge conditions (Segerstrom, 2005, 2006), the benefits of optimism seem to outweigh the potential downsides.
