Essay Instructions: The self has become an important area of study in Psychology. Self ?related constructs are important explanatory tools of the discipline (Robins et al , 1999). Two self topics are central to humanistic psychology are self-concept and self esteem. Self concept is the ?theory? that a person constructs about herself or himself through social interaction, whereas self esteem is a persons evaluation of his or her self concept.

Over the years there has been an ongoing debate regarding self-esteem and self concept. Two important self motives are the need for self enhancement and the need for self verification. Self-enhancement theories propose that people are primarily motivated to maintain a high self esteem, whereas self verification theories assert that people are primarily motivated to maintain consistent beliefs about themselves, even when these beliefs are negative. Self- enhancement theorists contend that people with low self esteem will seek out positive social evaluation because it will bolster their self esteem. In contrast, self-verification theorists argue that this positive feedback will create the fear in low self esteem people that they may not know themselves after all, and therefore will reject it.
