James (1890/1950) argued that self - esteem fluctuates around a typical level in response to successes and failures in domains on which self - worth is staked. In a test of James’s hypothesis, 32 students applying to graduate school completed a measure of contingencies of self - worth, and then for 2 months reported global self - esteem twice a week and any day they heard from a graduate program. As predicted, participants who were higher in basing their self - esteem on academic competence showed greater increases in self - esteem on acceptance days and greater decreases in self - esteem on rejection days than participants low in this contingency of self - worth. Daily affect was significantly related to daily self - esteem, but this association was stronger for students who based their self - esteem on academic competence, suggesting that affect and self - esteem are more strongly related when events are relevant to one’s contingencies of self - worth. Implications for research on stability of self - esteem are considered.
