Self-esteem vs Self-efficacy
We all know the meanings of the words esteem and efficacy isn’t it? But when applied to self, the concepts of self esteem and self efficacy become very confusing, so much so that people tend to use the words interchangeably which is wrong. This article will explain the differences between the two concepts so as to enable one to use one or the other term correctly.
自尊
Though mostly confined to psychology, self esteem has become a very popular word today and commonly refer to people having a high self esteem or low self esteem. Self esteem is a concept that refers to a person’s overall evaluation of himself. It is an appraisal of one’s own worth. There is no scale to measure self esteem but you can tell whether a person has a high self esteem or low self esteem by his behavior and reaction to his environments. Self esteem is the opinion one has about himself. People having high self esteem have a good self image and such people believe that they are good, reliable, hardworking, honest and friendly to others. Self esteem is just like a mirror in which you can see your qualities just as you see your image in a mirror.
但是，那些自尊心低的人是那些胆小，害羞，内向和非竞争力的人。这样的人认为别人比他们更好，尽管穿着最好的衣服会感到尴尬，并且感觉别人的着装比自己更好。自尊心低下的人永远不会意识到自己的潜力，并且至少在内向上过着次级标准的生活。自尊是对生活和他人的积极态度至关重要的。低自尊心转化为自信不良，这会导致人们产生负面情绪，而这样的人很容易放弃挑战。
自我效能
自我效能是与自尊有关的概念。它是由阿尔伯特·班杜拉（Albert Bandura）介绍的。如果您听说过控制源，您将很容易理解这个术语。这是对个人执行任务或面对情况的能力的评估。这是一种感觉，您可以继续学习和掌握生活中不同的能力。实际上，自我效能是对自己在各种困境中取得成功的能力的强烈信念。如果您对学习新事物的能力有强烈的信念，那么您倾向于发展一种自我效能感。
Self-esteem vs Self-efficacy
A person may not know ball dancing and may have a low self efficacy for ball dance, but that doesn’t result in a low self esteem if he does not think of ball dance being important in his life. Thus you can see that self esteem is different from self efficacy. Self esteem is a permanent internal feeling while self efficacy is a feeling that depends upon the performance at hand. Had they been the same, you would have been on a high one day and felt terribly the very next day when confronted with a task that you did not have the ability to perform. Similarly, you know that success or failure at one task does not affect your self esteem. You know that you are worth more than a performance or more.
This is a pretty inaccurate post, but props for the attempt.
I was VERY surprised you chose to describe having “Low Self-Esteem” as being an Introvert.. You do realize that people who are Introverts could make up close to half of he population on Earth ? I also am of the opinion that the using “value” or “self-worth” as descriptors infers there either is, or should be some way to “measure” this. I’ve no doubt it’s a concept born that cam from the Western Mentality of materialism.
Perhaps the very simple concept of “confidence” is a better means of determining a persons “self-esteem”. Ironically, the amount of confidence a person actually shows is what most people will focus upon when they are deciding about a persons self-esteem being high or low.
I’m an Introvert, but have confidence in my abilities to handle life’s difficulties as they come.
I am actually surprised as well that this unintentional insult to Introverts everywhere has been left up to add to the “low-self esteem ” some Introverts may already have.
有趣的文章，写得很好，但是您提到没有衡量自尊心的规模吗？那非常著名且使用良好的罗森伯格的规模呢？这实际上是在1000年代的研究中用于衡量自尊的吗？
