DESCRIPTION (provided by candidate): Psychologists have reached a broad consensus that self-esteem plays a major role in people's quality of lite and well-being. In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of why certain individuals have high self-esteem and others do not, it is necessary to understand the various factors that contribute to people's overall evaluations of themselves. Although the self-esteem literature suggests a generally positive relation between self-esteem and achievement pride, recent research has demonstrated that the relation between self-esteem and achievement pride actually depends an individual's type of achievement pride. Individuals who have high promotion pride (i.e., pride in their subjective history of successfully attaining positive outcomes) express high self-esteem, whereas there is no relation between self-esteem and prevention pride (i.e., pride in one's subjective history of successfully avoiding negative outcomes). The present proposal suggests that using the strategy best suited for each type of self-regulation (eagerness for promotion and vigilance for prevention) increases the chances of self-regulatory success and that feedback maintains or enhances these strategic orientations. Conceptualizing self-esteem as a form of internal feedback, the present proposal suggests that high achieving individuals alter their expressions of these evaluations of themselves such that their optimal strategic state is maintained. Specifically, we hypothesize that high promotion pride individuals will express having relatively higher levels of self-esteem such that their eager state is maintained. In contrast, we hypothesize that prevention pride individuals will express having relatively lower levels of self-esteem such that their vigilant state is maintained. On a theoretical level, this research would extend the current understanding. of self-esteem's functions. On an applied level, this research would suggest that the beneficial role of high self-esteem advocated by psychologists and educators needs to be reconsidered in terms of an individual's achievement pride and tile strategic orientation that is best suited for him or her to self-regulate effectively.

描述（由候选人提供）：心理学家已经取得了广泛的成果 人们一致认为，自尊在人们的素质中起着重要作用 福利。为了更全面地了解为什么某些 个人有很高的自尊，而其他人则没有，因此有必要 了解影响人们总体评价的各种因素 他们自己。尽管自尊文献普遍表明 自尊与成就自豪感之间的正相关关系，最近的研究 证明了自尊与成就自豪感之间的关系 实际上取决于个人的成就自豪感类型。个人谁 具有高度的晋升自豪感（即，对自己的主观晋升历史感到自豪） 成功地取得积极成果）表现出高度的自尊，而 自尊与预防自豪感（即以预防为荣）之间没有关系 一个人成功避免负面结果的主观历史）。这 目前的建议表明，使用最适合每种类型的策略 自律（急于晋升，警惕预防） 增加自我监管成功的机会，并且反馈可以维持或 加强这些战略方向。将自尊概念化为一种形式 根据内部反馈，目前的提案表明，高成就 个人会改变对自己的这些评价的表达，例如 保持其最佳战略状态。具体来说，我们假设 高晋升自豪感的人会表示拥有相对较高的晋升自豪感 自尊水平，以维持他们的渴望状态。相比之下， 我们假设预防自豪感个人会表达相对 自尊水平较低，从而使他们保持警惕状态。上一个 理论层面上，这项研究将扩展目前的理解。的 自尊的功能。在应用层面上，这项研究表明 心理学家所提倡的高自尊的有益作用 教育工作者需要根据个人的成就重新考虑 自豪感和最适合他或她的战略方向 进行有效的自我调节。
