→Psychologist Martin Seligman and Coach Rick Patino on self-esteem
It's counterproductive to boost someone's self-esteem when that person doesn't deserve it.<ref>''Success is a Choice'' by Rick Pitino, Chapter 2, page 29. Broadway Books. 1997</ref>}}

== Self-esteem and self-worth ==
''See also:'' [[Self-worth]]
[[Self-worth]] is the internal sense of being good enough and worthy of love and belonging from others. Self-worth is often confused with [[self-esteem]], which relies on external factors such as successes and [[achievement]]s to define worth and can often be inconsistent leading to someone struggling with feeling worthy."<ref>[https://uncw.edu/seahawk-life/health-wellness/counseling/self-help-resources/self-worth#:~:text=Self%2Dworth%20is%20the%20internal,someone%20struggling%20with%20feeling%20worthy.

The abstract for the 2001 journal article ''Contingencies of self-worth'' published in ''Psychological Review'' states:
{{Cquote|Research on self-esteem has focused almost exclusively on level of trait self-esteem to the neglect of other potentially more important aspects such as the contingencies on which self-esteem is based. Over a century ago, W. James (1890) argued that self-esteem rises and falls around its typical level in response to successes and failures in domains on which one has staked self-worth. We present a model of global self-esteem that builds on James' insights and emphasizes contingencies of self-worth. This model can help to (a) point the way to understanding how self-esteem is implicated in affect, cognition, and [[self-regulation]] of behavior; (b) suggest how and when self-esteem is implicated in social problems; (c) resolve debates about the nature and functioning of self-esteem; (d) resolve paradoxes in related literatures, such as why people who are stigmatized do not necessarily have low self-esteem and why self-esteem does not decline with age; and (e) suggest how self-esteem is causally related to depression. In addition, this perspective raises questions about how contingencies of self-worth are acquired and how they change, whether they are primarily a resource or a vulnerability, and whether some people have noncontingent self-esteem.<ref>[https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/11488379/ ''Contingencies of self-worth''].
