Роль самооценки в реагировании на ситуации «угрозы Я»
This article aimed at analytic examination of how people with different self-esteem types react to receiving threatening information about the self. We modified K. Mruk’s “Self-esteem meaning matrix” model, which gave understanding of self-esteem created by the interaction of self-worthiness and self-efficacy. According to this modified model, there are five types of self-esteem: authentic, medium, negativistic, self-centered and overachieving. Self-threat was modelling by false negative feedback from participants of communication. The study included 231 students (middle age – 20.5 years): 157 respondents in experimental group, 74 respondents in control group. Results of research find specifics of personal reaction depending on self-esteem type: there was differences in cognitive, emotional and evaluative reactions in response to receiving negative feedback. According to results of the experiment, authentic and negative types are the most vulnerable types of self-esteem.
