Self - esteem has been linked to a diverse array of positive and negative affective states. The present research explored the nature of these relationships. Study 1 found that self - esteem (as measured by the Rosenberg Self - Esteem Scale) is more closely associated with self - relevant emotional states than with emotional states that do not directly implicate the self. Study 2 replicated these findings and found that although several personality variables predicted participant’s emotional reactions to success and failure, these effects were eliminated once self-esteem was taken into account. Study 3 found that self - esteem predicted participant’s self - relevant emotional reactions to failure but not their non - self - relevant emotional reactions. These findings provide converging evidence that self - esteem is most closely linked to a particular class of emotions that pertain to how people feel about themselves.
