Abstract
“This study investigates the relationship between self-esteem and the recall and repetition of success and failure experiences . . ‥ groups . . . were selected on the basis of their self-evaluative responses and an evaluation of their self-esteem behaviors. The combinations of these two variables, at their extremes, yielded significantly different patterns on such variables as achievement, ideal self, and sociometric status, and apparently represent distinct types of self-esteem . . ‥ two factors [appear] . . . necessary for the recall and repetition of failure . . ‥ the ability to tolerate failure and the motivation and striving to overcome its effects.” (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
