Abstract

Discussions of self -esteem date back to the early writings of William James, who concluded that human aspirations and values have an essential role in determining whether we regard ourselves favorably . According to James, if our achievement approaches our aspirations, the result is high self-esteem; on the other hand, if a wide divergence exists, we then regard ourselves poorly.
