I describe three ways in which self-esteem can be raised. The first way, using selfdeception and self-enhancement, is deemed ineffective because it produces defensive, fragile self-esteem. The second way is from within, through self-contact and autonomy. However, there is no experimental evidence that this is sufficient to produce changes in self-esteem. The third way is to boost people’s self-esteem by being accepting and approving of them, thus elevating their sociometer and their sense of relatedness. Research suggests that this is effective and that it can engender long-term changes in self-esteem, because outward reaffirmation produces the conditions that promote self-growth and self-determination.
