\"In this fascinating look at the philosophy of self-esteem, Richard Keshen develops and defends the idea of reasonable self-esteem--a concept based on an ideal of reasonableness--and argues that individuals who think of themselves in terms of this paradigm will lead happier and more fulfilling lives. Keshen presents a set of guidelines for analysing self-esteem and examines various factors that influence our self-esteem, such as other people's evaluations, comparisons with others, social relationships, and inherent qualities. He asserts that self-esteem not founded on individual achievement leads to a continual search for external supports and is easily shaken when such supports are not found. A key element of Keshen's argument is the idea of egalitarian respect, and he shows how we can integrate this idea into our lives. Reasonable Self-Esteem demonstrates the attraction of a life in which reasonableness is a central commitment. It will appeal to those with an interest in philosophy, ethics, and moral psychology and is essential reading for those concerned with self-esteem.\"-- Provided by publisher.

Adolescent girls often face challenges in asserting their sexual rights and boundaries, particularly due to fear of losing a partner or social pressures. This study aimed to examine the influence of self-esteem, self-control, parental support, and peer support on sexual assertiveness among female adolescents in Pacar Kembang district, Surabaya, Indonesia. A cross-sectional design was used with 100 participants who completed self-administered questionnaires. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression, revealing that self-esteem (β = 0.227, p = 0.014), self-control (β = 0.267, p = 0.010), parental support (β = 0.319, p = 0.000), and peer support (β = 0.133, p = 0.032) significantly predicted sexual assertiveness. These findings underscore the importance of building adolescents’ self-confidence, emotional regulation, and support networks to strengthen sexual agency. Interventions that promote these factors may contribute to reducing risky or unwanted premarital sexual behaviors among young females, and similar strategies may be applicable in other low- and middle-income country settings. Les adolescentes rencontrent souvent des difficultés à affirmer leurs droits et leurs limites en matière de sexualité, notamment par peur de perdre leur partenaire ou par la pression sociale. Cette étude visait à examiner l'influence de l'estime de soi, de la maîtrise de soi, du soutien parental et de l'entraide sur l'affirmation de soi chez les adolescentes du district de Pacar Kembang, à Surabaya, en Indonésie. Une étude transversale a été menée auprès de 100 participantes ayant rempli des questionnaires auto-administrés. Les données ont été analysées par régression linéaire multiple, révélant que l'estime de soi (β = 0,227, p = 0,014), la maîtrise de soi (β = 0,267, p = 0,010), le soutien parental (β = 0,319, p = 0,000) et l'entraide (β = 0,133, p = 0,032) prédisaient significativement l'affirmation de soi. Ces résultats soulignent l'importance de développer la confiance en soi, la régulation émotionnelle et les réseaux de soutien des adolescentes pour renforcer leur capacité d'agir sexuelle. Les interventions favorisant ces facteurs peuvent contribuer à réduire les comportements sexuels prénuptiaux à risque ou non désirés chez les jeunes femmes, et des stratégies similaires pourraient être applicables dans d'autres pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire.

Self-esteem forms a critical component of mental health, as an absence of self-esteem is associated with mental disorders like depression. As such, understanding the nature and meaning of self-esteem and related phenomena like self-perception is essential for treatment of a variety of mental illnesses. Chapter One utilizes terror management theory to explain what self-esteem is, how the need for self-esteem develops, how people attain and maintain self-esteem, and why self-esteem is so important for psychological well-being. Chapter Two demonstrates how self-esteem is the fundamental mental attitude that provides the qualities necessary to perform democracy and reject authoritarian threats. Chapter Three deals with the definition of self-awareness, the description of the neural substrates that have been associated with it, and the examination of an interpretive neuroanatomical model of the phenomenon, with a focus on neurological and neuropsychological diseases. Chapter Four advocates a culture of self-evaluation as part of academic and professional culture through critical reflection on teaching and the results of one's own work. Chapter Five analyzes self-concept as a predictor of the academic self-efficacy perceived by adolescents. Lastly, Chapter Six studies the relationship between testosterone levels and self-esteem in school-age boys and girls.

The study aimed to explore the role of self-esteem and self-efficacy in women empowerment among academic and administrative staff at Saudi universities. A cross-sectional design was carried out at 15 governmental universities. A multistage cluster sampling technique was used to select 5587 participants. Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the predictive relation. Data collection included socio-demographic variables, Rosenberg self-esteem scale, general self-efficacy scale, and women empowerment scale. The results indicated that study participants' self-esteem was equally distributed between moderate (49.8%) and high (50.2%). Also, 66.9% of the participants had high self-efficacy, and 86.8% had high total women's empowerment. Regression coefficient showed that self-esteem (B=0.521, b=0.127, t=13.785 and p<0.001) and self-efficacy (B=2.388, b=0.702, t=76.049 and p<0.001) are important predictors of the total women empowerment. However, self-efficacy was observed to be the most dominant predictor (t=76.049). The total model summary shows that 73.4% of the women empowerment level can be predicted through self-esteem and self-efficacy. The study results can be used as a base to build women empowerment programs in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) and help to achieve the 2030 KSA vision regarding women empowerment.

L'étude visait à explorer le rôle de l'estime de soi et de l'efficacité personnelle dans l'autonomisation des femmes parmi le personnel académique et administratif des universités saoudiennes. Une conception transversale a été réalisée dans 15 universités gouvernementales. Une technique d'échantillonnage en grappes à plusieurs degrés a été utilisée pour sélectionner 5587 participants. Une régression linéaire multiple a été utilisée pour analyser la relation prédictive. La collecte de données comprenait des variables sociodémographiques, une échelle d'estime de soi de Rosenberg, une échelle d'auto-efficacité générale et une échelle d'autonomisation des femmes. Les résultats ont indiqué que l'estime de soi des participants à l'étude était également répartie entre modérée (49,8%) et élevée (50,2%). En outre, 66,9% des participants avaient une auto-efficacité élevée et 86,8% avaient une forte autonomisation totale des femmes. Le coefficient de régression a montré que l'estime de soi (B = 0,521, b = 0,127, t = 13,785 et p <0,001) et l'auto-efficacité (B = 2,388, b = 0,702, t = 76,049 et p <0,001) sont des prédicteurs importants du l'autonomisation totale des femmes. Cependant, l'auto-efficacité a été observée comme le prédicteur le plus dominant (t = 76,049). Le résumé total du modèle montre que 73,4% du niveau d'autonomisation des femmes peut être prédit grâce à l'estime de soi et à l'auto-efficacité. Les résultats de l'étude peuvent être utilisés comme base pour élaborer des programmes d'autonomisation des femmes dans le Royaume d'Arabie saoudite (KSA) et aider à réaliser la vision 2030 de la KSA concernant l'autonomisation des femmes.
