DESCRIPTION: (Adapted from Investigator's Abstract) This proposal is an application for an Independent Scientist Award for the PI, Jennifer Crocker, Ph.D. to enable her to focus her efforts on research on contingencies of self esteem (SE), and extend that work to test hypotheses about the role of SE in depression, SE and aging, and SE and culture. SE is a central aspect of mental health, and thousands of studies of SE have been published. Yet, several basic disagreements and confusions regarding the nature and functioning of SE remain unresolved. The PI's current R01 grant addresses these basic issues, as well as the role of contingencies of SE in vulnerability to stigma. The K02 award would enable the PI to extend this research to test the following hypothesis: 1) Contingencies of SE, in conjunction with relevant life events, pose a risk for depression mediated through instability of SE, and possibly increases in the stress hormone cortical. 2) Contingencies of SE become more internal, and possibly lower overall, across the lifespan, and this shift in contingencies of SE can account both for continuity of levels of SE across the lifespan, despite many losses associated with aging, and for increases in stability of SE with age. 3) Cultural differences in the direction as well as possibly the content of contingencies of SE can account for the relatively low average levels of SE in Asians and Asian-Americans.

描述：（改编自研究者摘要）本提案是一项 为PI，Jennifer Crocker申请独立科学家奖， 博士使她能够集中精力研究自我的偶然性， 自尊（SE），并扩展这项工作，以测试有关SE在 抑郁症，SE和衰老，SE和文化。SE是心理学的一个核心方面， 健康和成千上万的SE研究已经出版。然而，一些基本的 关于社会企业的性质和功能仍然存在分歧和困惑 未解决的。PI目前的R01赠款解决了这些基本问题，以及 社会性别的突发事件在污名脆弱性中的作用。 K02奖将使PI能够扩展这项研究，以测试以下内容 假设：1）SE的偶发事件，结合相关的生活事件， 通过SE的不稳定性介导的抑郁症风险， 压力荷尔蒙皮质激素增加。2)SE的意外事件变得更多 在整个生命周期内，这种内部的变化可能会降低整体水平， SE的突发事件可以解释整个SE水平的连续性 寿命，尽管许多损失与老化，并增加 SE随年龄的稳定性。3)方向上的文化差异以及 社会环境的偶然性内容可能是社会环境相对较低的原因 亚洲人和亚裔美国人的SE平均水平。
