Unit 6 – Developmental Psychology
Topic 6.2
How might one contest the theory that high self-esteem in childhood results exclusively from positive reinforcements?
Self-esteem is an inherent trait and cannot be influenced by external factors.
Overcoming challenges independently may build self-esteem without direct positive reinforcements.
Self-esteem solely depends on receiving praise and rewards for accomplishments.
Positive reinforcements always harm self-esteem in the long run.
