Abstract
Conducted 2 studies to investigate (a) the relationship between the 3 sources of self-esteem outlined in a 1970 study by A. K. Korman (see record 1970-05758-001)-chronic, task specific, and socially influenced-and performance on an anagram task, and (b) the moderating effects of task-specific self-esteem on the relationship between performance and satisfaction. Ss were a total of 205 undergraduates, who completed the Self-Description Inventory, a 5-item measure of task-specific self-esteem, and the California F Scale. Task-specific self-esteem predicted performance for the total sample and socially influenced self-esteem predicted performance for high-authoritarian Ss. As predicted, performance tended to predict satisfaction only for high-self-esteem Ss. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2016 APA, all rights reserved)
