自尊领域中亟待解决的几个问题

Several questions need to be resolved in the field of self-esteem

自尊是心理学中的一个重要概念,被包含进很多的理论模型中,包括依从、吸引、劝说、认知不协调、主观幸福感,以及社会比较加工等。但是,由于自尊本身内涵的丰富与复杂以及研究者的研究焦点的不同,使自尊研究领域中至今仍存在三个未形成一致结论的问题。它们分别是,自尊是什么,自尊如何发展,以及自尊的维度划分问题。此文首先分析了这几个问题的争议之处,并指出这种争议在新近研究中的表现,从而指出未来研究的可能发展方向。

Self-esteem is an important concept in psychology. It have been included in many models for theory such as compliance, attract, persuasion, cognitive dissonance, subject well-being, social comparison, and so on. However, due to the connotation of the self-esteem is so inclusive, complex, and the difference of the researchers＇ focus, three issues still need to be discuss in the further research. They are： ＂what self-esteem is＂ , ＂how self-esteem progress＂ , ＂Is there only high and low division in self-esteem ＂ . This paper first illustrated where the disagreement was, and pointed out it in recent research. Then, it predicted the possible development direction of the further research.
