Past research has shown that those low in self - esteem tend to persist less after initial failure than do those high in self - esteem. It is not clear, however, whether this motivational vulnerability is attributable to low self - competence, low self - liking, or both. To address this question, the persistence and performance of students with distinct self - esteem composites were examined using an anagram task. The persistence results revealed that low self - liking was independently associated with decreased effort following performance failure, suggesting that it is this dimension of low self - esteem that is of primary importance in accounting for the previously demonstrated phenomenon. Differences in performance, although less pronounced, corresponded roughly with differences in persistence.
