Self Esteem: Definitions

In psychology, self-esteem reflects a person's overall self-appraisal of his or her own self worth.

The Positive self-esteem is viewing yourself as a competent and worthy person, and feeling good about yourself. Confidence in one's own worth or abilities; self-respect.

The Negative lack of self-esteem is often associated with poor self image, low self confidence and insecurity.

Self Esteem: Definitions

Nathaniel Branden in 1969 briefly defined self-esteem as "...the experience of being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and being worthy of happiness".

This two-factor approach, as some have also called it, provides a balanced definition that seems to be capable of dealing with limits of defining self-esteem primarily in terms of competence or worth alone.
