As I indicated in class, Lyobomirsky, Sheldon & Schkade (2002) argued that:
activities and practices directly under our control account for about 60% of the variance in happiness.
In discussing self-esteem we distinguished between two aspects or views of self-esteem:
self-esteem as competence, and self-esteem as worthiness [correct]
Based on Harter’s work on the developmental course of self-esteem, we would expect that levels of self-esteem:
would be highest either in early childhood or in adulthood.
In Mruk’s model, people with high levels of competence self-esteem and low levels of worthiness self-esteem are described as having:
antisocial self-esteem [correct]
in Mruk’s self esteem enchancement programwhat were the errors of thinking and perceiving that lead to problems with
self-esteem
1) Filtering - Attending preferentially to negative aspects of a situation, and minimizing positives.
2) Overgeneralizing - Extending the negative significance of an event so it seems worse than it is.
3) Personalizing - Being so sensitive about a negative event that it becomes unrealistically painful.
high levels of self-efficacy are associated with a number of positive outcomes or states.
1) improved cardiovascular and
2) immune system functioning.
3) more effective problem-solving higher academic performance
