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《调查人员摘要》)本提案是一项 为少年派申请独立科学家奖，詹妮弗·克罗克， 博士学位，使她能够集中精力研究自我的偶然性 尊重(SE)，并扩展这项工作以测试关于SE在 抑郁症、自闭症与衰老、自闭症与文化。自尊心是精神的一个中心方面 健康，已经发表了数以千计的关于SE的研究。然而，有几个基本的 关于SE的性质和功能的分歧和混乱仍然存在 悬而未决。PI目前的R01拨款解决了这些基本问题，以及 自闭症偶发事件在易受耻辱中的作用。 K02奖将使PI能够扩展这项研究，以测试以下内容 假设：1)SE的偶然性，结合相关的生活事件， 通过SE的不稳定导致抑郁的风险，并可能 应激激素皮质醇的增加。2)SE的偶然性变得更多 在整个生命周期内，内部的，可能是更低的整体，以及 SE的偶然性可以解释SE水平在整个 寿命，尽管与衰老相关的许多损失，以及 SE随年龄增长的稳定性。3)方向和方向上的文化差异 可能SE的或有内容可以解释相对较低的 亚洲人和亚裔美国人的SE平均水平。
