Produktbeschreibung
The Resource Bin Model of Self-Esteem is proposed as a new theoretical model that conceptualizes self- esteem as a fluid construct, suggesting that self- esteem changes constantly as a function of environmental change. This kind of approach may be contrary to other theories of self-esteem that consider self-esteem as a stable trait. The Bin model is cognitive in nature, and argues that self- esteem is comprised of resources that are cognitively linked to environmental cues that, when present in the environment, make these resources available in a cognitive space. In general, resources are defined here as one of two kinds: 1) an affirmation, or a positive resource and 2) a defamation, which is a negative resource. Here, the author presents the model in total and performs two experiments that provide interesting preliminary information regarding the model.
