Book excerpt: Individuals vary in the degree to which they invest in their romantic relationships, with some individuals deriving feelings of self-worth from their romantic relationships. When this occurs, the individual is said to have developed relationship-contingent self-esteem (RCSE). RSCE is associated with how individuals evaluate themselves and their relationships. The goal fo the current project was to expand on what is known about RCSE by examining its association with mate retention behaviors. Mate retention behaviors are actions that individuals employ to increase the probability that their partners will continue their investment in the relationship. A number of hypotheses were tested across a series of studies. Study 1 provided a correlational assessment of the predictions that self-esteem level and RCSE would be associated with mate retention behaviors. Study 2 involved the collection of weekly measures of self-esteem, RCSE, and conflict to assess the prediction that mate retention behaviors would increase following conflict. Finally, Studies 3 and 4 offered an experimental assessment of the prediction that threat to the relationship would influence mate retention behaviors. Generally speaking, there was some sort of support for these hypotheses. Individuals with high levels of RCSE were found to be more likely than other individuals to engage in benefit-provisioning behaviors (e.g., displaying love and affection, bestowing gifts on the partner), and there was some evidence that individuals with high levels of RCSE increase their benefit-provisioning behaviors following certain types of threat to their relationships (e.g., weekly conflict, the unspoken complaint procedure). Similar results were observed for cost-inflicting behaviors, such that individuals who scored high on RCSE and self-esteem level reported engaging in more cost-inflicting behaviors.

This book was released on 2014-06-09 with total page 465 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Self-determination theory is a theory of human motivation that is being increasingly used by organizations to make strategic HR decisions and train managers. It argues for a focus on the quality of workers' motivation over quantity. Motivation that is based on meaning and interest is showed to be superior to motivation that is based on pressure and rewards. Work environments that make workers feel competent, autonomous, and related to others foster the right type of motivation, goals, and work values. The Oxford Handbook of Work Motivation, Engagement, and Self-Determination Theory aims to give current and future organizational researchers ideas for future research using self-determination theory as a framework, and to give practitioners ideas on how to adjust their programs and practices using self-determination theory principles. The book brings together self-determination theory experts and organizational psychology experts to talk about past and future applications of the theory to the field of organizational psychology. The book covers a wide range of topics, including: how to bring about commitment, engagement, and passion in the workplace; how to manage stress, health, emotions and violence at work; how to encourage safe and sustainable behavior in organizations; how factors like attachment styles, self-esteem, person-environment fit, job design, leadership, compensation, and training affect work motivation; and how work-related values and goals are forged by the work environment and affect work outcomes.

This book was released on 2018 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There has been much research done on self-esteem in the field of psychology, and its effect on mental health, such as depression, has also been well-documented. More recently, the concept of contingent self-esteem has been introduced, and initial research suggests that individuals high in contingent self-esteem, meaning they base their self-esteem on external factors, have a higher rate of depressive symptoms. A relatively new type of contingent self-esteem, known as relationship contingent self-esteem (RCSE), is used to describe those who base their self-esteem predominately on their romantic relationships. Due to the research confirming the relationship between contingent self-esteem and depressive symptoms, it stands to reason that individuals high in RCSE would also experience higher levels of depressive symptoms. However, the association between RCSE and mental health had not yet been studied.This study examined the direct relationship between RCSE and mental health. It also analyzed whether current relationship functioning could serve as a moderator between RCSE and mental health. The current study hypothesized a moderated mediation relationship in which general self-esteem would mediate the relationship between the interaction of RCSE and relationship functioning (RCSE*Relationship Functioning) and mental health. Participants (n=121) were recruited from introductory psychology courses at a mid-size Midwestern Catholic university. Participants were administered six self-report questionnaires in groups of no more than 30, and were instructed to complete each questionnaire independently, and silently. The questionnaires were randomized in terms of order, with the order of the questionnaires having been determined using Latin Square design.Results indicated that the relationship between RCSE and depression was not significant as hypothesized. However, RCSE was found to be positively correlated with anxiety; meaning that the higher the individual is on RCSE, the higher their levels of anxiety. Relationship functioning did not serve as a moderator between RCSE and mental health. The indirect effect of RCSE on mental health was nonsignificant, and relationship functioning was not significantly related to the strength of this relationship. More research is needed with a larger, more diverse sample of participants, as well as more varied methods of data collection, in order to accurately determine the relationship between RCSE and mental health, as well as which other factors may strengthen or weaken this relationship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research and theory on self-esteem have flourished in recent years. This resurgence has produced multiple perpectives on fundamental issues surrounding the nature of self-esteem and its role in psychological functioning and interpersonal processes. Self-Esteem Issues and Answers brings together these various perspectives in a unique format. The book is divided into five sections. Section I focuses on core issues pertaining to the conceptualization and assesment of self-esteem, and when self-esteem is optimal. Section II concentrates on the determinants, development, and modifiability of self-esteem. Section III examines the evolutionary significance of self-esteem and its role in psychological processes and therapeutic settings. Section IV explores the social, relational, and cultural significance of self-esteem. Finally, Section V considers future directions for self-esteem researchers, practitioners, parents and teachers. This volume offers a wealth of perspectives from prominent researchers from different areas of psychology. Each expert contributor was asked to focus his or her chapter on a central self-esteem issue. Three or four experts addressed each question. The result is that Self-Esteem Issues and Answers provides a comprehensive sourcebook of current perspectives on a wide range of central self-esteem issues.

This book was released on 2010 with total page 48 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past few years researchers have begun to explore a concept called relationship-contingent self-esteem (RCSE), when one bases his or her self-esteem on being in a romantic relationship (Knee et al., 2008). RCSE has been linked with many negative aspects including low relationship satisfaction, low relationship autonomy, and more recently, body shame in women (Knee et al.). However, no studies to this date have examined the relationship between RCSE and self-objectification, a concept similar to body shame, that involves critically viewing one's body from a third person perspective (Fredrickson & Roberts, 1997). The current study examined how RCSE is correlated with self-objectification and other constructs including relationship satisfaction, relationship autonomy and relationship commitment in college-aged single and coupled women (N=155). As predicted, results indicated a positive correlation between RCSE and self-objectification; women with high RCSE tended to have high self-objectification. However, RCSE did not have any correlation with relationship satisfaction, relationship commitment, or relationship autonomy.

Book excerpt: The purpose of the current research was to examine the effect of relationship-contingent self-esteem (RCSE) and body shame on women's cognitive, affective, and body-related behavioral responses to significant events that occur in romantic relationships. Participants read vignettes involving either a positive or negative relationship event and were asked to complete measures of self-esteem, affect, and behavior in responses to the event. The study found that level of RCSE had an impact on state self-esteem for both positive and negative relationship events. Level of RCSE also had a significant effect on women's pursuit of an ex-romantic partner. Lastly, women with high body shame were found to engage in more body-related behaviors after a significant romantic relationship event than women with low body shame.

This book was released on 2019 with total page 56 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Relationship-Contingent Self-Esteem (RCSE) involves individuals basing their self-regard on the nature and outcome of their relationship (Knee, Canevello, Bush, & Cook, 2008). RCSE is said to occur from a thwarting of basic psychological needs, including competence, relatedness, and autonomy (Deci & Ryan, 2000; Knee et al., 2008). When these needs are not fulfilled, issues such as feelings of incompetence, a lack of feeling of control, and issues with connecting with others can occur (Hadden, Rodriguez, Knee, & Porter, 2015). Further, those high in RCSE can have lower relationship satisfaction and experience higher levels of negative emotion (Knee et al., 2008). The objective of the study is to examine how certain personality risk and protective factors that are correlates of the basic psychological needs influence the relationship between RCSE and relationship satisfaction and the experience of negative emotion (i.e., depression). The study draws from a large sample of university alumni N= 2903) ranging in age from 21 to 90 years old (M = 45.1) from a private Catholic US university. Participants were asked to complete a survey containing a range of measures that examined various personality factors, as well as their current level of depression and satisfaction. Based on moderation analyses (Cohen, Cohen, West, & Aiken, 2003), results indicated a significant positive association between RCSE and relationship satisfaction for males that weakened as level of competence increased. However, no significant association between RCSE and relationship satisfaction was found for any of the other correlates of the basic psychological needs. For both males and females low in autonomy, high in anxious attachment, and high in self-alienation, a significant positive association was found to exist between RCSE and depression. Similarly, a significant positive association was also found for females low in competence and self-compassion and for males low in relatedness and high in accepting external influence. Additionally, there was a significant positive association between RCSE and depression for females that weakened as level of authentic living increased, accepting external influence decreased, and relatedness increased. The results support the idea that RCSE's negative influence on mental health outcomes depend on certain personality risk and protective factors.

This book was released on 2018 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Individuals whose self-esteem relies heavily upon being in and maintaining their romantic relationship may react to conflict with the partner as if it were a threat to the relationship, which in turn is a threat to the individual’s self-esteem. This study proposed to discover if individuals with more relationship contingent self-esteem (RCSE) responded more negatively to relationship conflicts than individuals lower in RCSE, especially during more serious conflicts, and as a result, react by sacrificing their own wants and needs to “save” the relationship. For this study, 225 cohabiting couples from the Couple’s Daily Lives study completed a one-time survey assessing their RCSE and 14 daily diaries measuring the presence of conflict, conflict severity, relationship satisfaction, self-sacrificing behavior to resolve the conflict, and affect. Results indicated that individuals with more RCSE did react more negatively to relationship conflict than individuals lower in RCSE, but only as those conflicts became more severe. Results also indicated that RCSE made no difference in the likelihood of individuals using self-sacrifice to resolve conflict, but did indicate that individuals high in RCSE feel more negatively when they must sacrifice in response to more serious conflicts compared to individuals low in RCSE. Finally, the evidence shows that the partners of individuals higher in RCSE tend to be more satisfied with their relationship regardless of their partner’s sacrifice, but all partners preferred it when their partner sacrificed to resolve the conflict rather than when they did not, especially when those conflicts were serious.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although romantic relationships are an important source of self-esteem, individuals vary in the degree to which romantic relationships determine their self-esteem. For individuals with relationship-contingent self-esteem (RCSE), self-esteem is based on the quality of perceived romantic relationship functioning. In contrast, global self-esteem is derived from a variety of domains, not specifically relationship quality. The present study investigated the moderating effects of RCSE and global self-esteem on the effects of relationship specific or relationship-unrelated threats and self-affirmations. Individuals with low global self-esteem react to threats by distancing themselves from their romantic partners. For those low in RCSE, this should occur only when the threats are relationship specific, whereas those low in global self-esteem distance themselves regardless of what type of threat they experience. Exposure to self-affirmations limits this defensive distancing in individuals with low global self-esteem. Prior studies examining the effects of induced self-threats and self-affirmations on perceived relationship functioning have been limited by reliance on college student samples, whose relationships are often shorter in duration than older adults. The current studies examined self-esteem and RCSE within the context of older participants in longer romantic relationships. Specifically, Study 1 examined how self-threats and self-affirmations interacted with dispositional levels of RCSE and self-esteem to predict romantic relationship outcomes. Participants wrote about past experiences to induce self-affirmations or self-threats, which were either relational (i.e., about their current relationship) or non-relational (i.e., about their personal lives), and then completed measures of relationship functioning. Contrary to predictions, there were no significant interactions between either RCSE or self-esteem and the experimental conditions. There was a significant main effect for self-esteem, such that participants with low self-esteem reported less commitment, closeness, and satisfaction as compared to participants with high self-esteem. In Study 2, participants completed one of two writing prompts: a prompt to induce high RCSE, or a control prompt. Participants then wrote about past experiences to induce self-threats that were either relational or non-relational. Contrary to hypotheses, inducing high levels of RCSE and exposing participants to a relational self-threat did not result in decreased relationship commitment, closeness, or satisfaction. The results of both Study 1 and Study 2 are contrary to previous research; potential explanations for this discrepancy and implications are discussed.

Book excerpt: This volume brings together leading investigators who integrate two distinct research domains in social psychology--people's internal worlds and their close relationships. Contributors present compelling findings on the bidirectional interplay between internal processes, such as self-esteem and self-regulation, and relationship processes, such as how positively partners view each other, whether they are dependent on each other, and the level of excitement in the relationship. Methodological challenges inherent in studying these complex issues are described in depth, as are implications for understanding broader aspects of psychological functioning and well-being.
