...How does procrastination vary between students approach to early submission of assignment? Self-esteem refers to an individual's or in some cases a group's evaluative judgment about himself, herself, or itself. The term and concept were relatively unnoticed prior to the 1960s, at which time various thinkers and researchers began to suspect that it could be an important factor in behavior. By the late 1970s self-esteem had become a major focus of a great deal of research, and people began to seek to raise self-esteem in connection with a broad assortment of interventions, including clinical practice and education. During the 1980s self-esteem became a national buzzword and was being studied and applied in a staggering variety of settings. Leading proponents such as Nathaniel Branden (1984) contended that deficient self-esteem was a causal factor behind nearly every sort of personal and social problem and pathology. A high point of sorts was reached late that decade, when the state of California established the California Task Force to Promote Self-esteem and Personal and Social Responsibility. Its manifesto (California Task Force, 1990) asserted that raising the self-esteem of California's citizens would help solve many of the state's problems, including violence, drug abuse, unwanted pregnancy, and school underachievement. Criticism began to mount in the 1990s, and since the early 2000s the value of self-esteem has become the focus of serious debate. As of 2008 there...

Your self esteem depends on many questions: * Is your job worthwhile? Do others respect what you do? Do you? * Do you believe you are successful? * How do you see yourself (your self image)? * How do you feel about your strengths and weaknesses? * Are you comparing yourself to others and ignoring the unique value that you have? * What do you think of your social status? * How do you relate to others? * Can you make your own decisions?

...chance of succeeding in school. Firstly, children whose parents play a critical role in their education score higher grades than those whose parents play a passive role or are absent altogether. This is because active parents encourage their children to succeed in school. They aid their children to do their homework and help teachers to identify and solve difficulties encountered in their children’s education. They also help their children choose subjects and courses they can pursue with passion and excellence. The involvement of parents in the education of their child also influences teachers (Jeynes, 2011). Since instructors play a significant role in rating and grading a child, “a high degree of parental involvement likely influences how the teacher perceives and even grades the child” (Jeynes, 2011, p. 55). According to Chance (1997), providing teachers with feedback about a child’s attitude and wellbeing can help the child achieve higher scores in IQ tests and vocabulary competence. Secondly, children with supportive parents are more disciplined than those with unsupportive parents. It is easy for parents who follow up on their children’s school activities to identify weaknesses that may lead to indiscipline. They can then discuss such weaknesses with teachers and develop...

Childhood depression differs in many aspects from adult depression. Decrease in academic performance, withdrawal and rejection of friends and favorite activities are some of the main unrecognized signs. Some may also exhibit hyperactivity, while others complain of exhaustion and illness. Many times these symptoms are thought to be just a phase in their children, and observed as signs of depression. Children of all ages from infancy through adolescence can suffer from a disorder mood. The symptoms tend to change based on the child's level of development. Depression in infants is often determined based on the child’s failure to grow physically, act unresponsively, and inability to thrive. Although it is rarely seen in babies, it is often due to lack of nurturing relationship between the infant and the caregiver. Postpartum depression has the ability to affect the mood of the infant. It affects approximately 25-30% of mothers and is typically caused by a separation, illness, death, or a broken bond. These mothers tend to show less affection towards their child. Babies are sometimes rejected because they are unwanted, premature or abnormal. Preschoolers are more restless, self-isolating, aggressive, and overwhelmed by sleeplessness and nightmares and are less adaptive to make friends or...

...What affects our Self: Self-esteem is how we assess ourselves as people, and how open-minded are we to receive feedback from a friend, family member, co-worker, etc. How we react to it all matters on high self-esteem or low self-esteem. According to research by Amanda Forrest of the University of California and Joanne Wood at Waterloo University, published in Psychological Science, they found those with low self-esteem feel safer sharing on Facebook. However, the study also found that those with low self-esteem frequently post updates that work against them. They tend to criticize their friends with negative details of their lives, making them less likeable as "friends." Forrest and Wood also found that those people with high self-esteem, who usually posted more positive updates, received more positive responses (Williams, R. 2012, March 2). Self-Knowledge Socialization is being a participant of different activities and interactions with people, being part of a culture that we are born into or a religion, etc. Reflected Appraisals are reactions about our actions with people and how we evaluate them and or perceive us.

...Case Scenario Self-Esteem 1. Differentiate between the terms self-concept, self-esteem, and self-efficacy. Self-efficacy is being sure about completing a certain task to completion and is what leads to more self-confidence when you have self-efficacy in many tasks. (DuBrin, 2014) Having self-efficacy can actually help a person do better than someone who does not have self-efficacy. (DuBrin, 2014) Meaning, if Karen and Abe are given a task to complete and Karen is sure she will do well, while Abe thinks he will not do well, then Karen most probably will perform her task well, but Abe will perform inadequately. Additionally, if a person sets high goals for themselves, this can be attributed to self-efficacy. DuBrin cites research by George P. Hollenbeck and Douglas T. Hall that a person’s self-confidence stems from five sources. (2014) One source is our own experiences in life. Experiences that people experience in life is the best booster for more self-confidence, as in the first time a person creates a graph in Microsoft Word will build for that person greater self-confidence. This is basically an image builder which is also called self-concept. Self-concept is our perception of who we are as far as abilities or uniqueness and is our self-image. (DuBrin, 2014) Self-esteem differs from self-concept and self-efficacy, in that it is what we feel about ourselves. Self-esteem is brought about through actual accomplishments after which praise and recognition follow. (DuBrin, 2014) ...
