Przewidywanie efektywności własnych działań u osób z wysoką i niską samooceną w zadaniach o różnym stopniu kontrolowalności

Abstract

The goal of this study is to present the results of the research concerning the relationship between the evaluation of self-efficacy and a global self-esteem as well as to answer the question of the differences in the evaluation of self-efficacy in different control tasks at people with high and low self-esteem. To verify the hypothesis 130 students were tested. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale was used to measure global self-esteem whereas two different sets of equations were used to differentiate the degree of controlling the conditions experienced these people. The results confirm the hypothesis that people with high self-esteem evaluate their actions higher in relation to people with low self-esteem in higher-level controlled conditions. Analyses do not support the hypothesis assuming that in lower control tasks people with high self-esteem also evaluate their self-efficacy higher as compared to people with low self-esteem. Moreover, the results show that there are no differences in people with high and low self-esteem regarding the changes in evaluation of self-efficacy in low control tasks.
