They recognize their weaknesses and they are disappointed by their failures, but they don"t view these experiences as doubting their overall sense of self-worth. Feelings of self-worth that are unrealistic, vulnerable to threat, and require constant validation. Preoccupied w protecting and enhancing their self-e, which is often accomplished at the expense of other ppl. Self-evals that depend on meeting standards of performance, approval or acceptance in order to be maintained. Only feel good if able to meet those standards (se constantly on the line) They believe that few ppl have truly non-contingent self-e. Ppl differ w regard to the life domains upon which they stake their feelings of self-worth. Drops in se that result from failures in contingent domains are often greater in magnitude than boosts that result from successes so failures.
