在一项对642名大学生进行的纵向研究中，研究了大学入学前自尊水平和自我价值的偶发性对大一期间经历的学业、社会和经济问题的独特影响。低自尊预示着社会问题，即使控制了人口统计学和人格变量（神经质、宜人性和社会可取性），但在控制了其他变量后，它并不能预测学术或经济问题。在控制了相关人格变量后，学术能力权变预测学术和财务问题，外表权变预测财务问题。我们的结论是，在自尊和其他人格变量水平之外，自我价值的随变对大学新生经历的学业和经济困难有独特的贡献。另一方面，低自尊似乎是导致日后社交困难的唯一因素。
The unique effects of level of self-esteem and contingencies of self-worth assessed prior to college on academic, social, and financial problems experienced during the freshman year were examined in a longitudinal study of 642 college students. Low self-esteem predicted social problems, even controlling for demographic and personality variables (neuroticism, agreeableness, and social desirability), but did not predict academic or financial problems with other variables controlled. Academic competence contingency predicted academic and financial problems and appearance contingency predicted financial problems, even after controlling for relevant personality variables. We conclude that contingencies of self-worth uniquely contribute to academic and financial difficulties experienced by college freshmen beyond level of self-esteem and other personality variables. Low self-esteem, on the other hand, appears to uniquely contribute to later social difficulties.
