Improving Adult Self-Esteem

This research assesses the effectiveness of an intervention �

designed to improve the level of self-esteem of an adult person. �

Behavioral system balance within a person is a manifestation of �

successful adjustments and adaptations, even though observed �

behavior may not appear to be consistent with accepted cultural �

or biologic norms for healthy behavior (Fawcett, 1994, p. 192). �

Living systems can and do operate at varying levels of �

effectiveness and efficiency, but, to be able to operate at all, �

some minimum level of balance, both internally and externally, �

must be maintained. A behavioral system possess sufficient �

flexibility to react effectively to usual variations in the �

forces acting upon it, and it possess sufficient stress tolerance �

to permit effective adjustment to many extreme variations in �

these forces. There occur instances, however, when the stress �

level reaches a point when balance in the behavioral system �

temporarily or permanently is lost.�

One psychological factor that impinges on a person's �

behavioral system balance is low self-esteem. Low self-esteem �

creates a potential for several outcomes for adult persons. �

Specifically, job dissatisfaction has been found to be �

significantly associated low self-esteem. Lower self-esteem �

also has been associated with higher levels of stress �
