Locus of Control and Chronic Self-Esteem as Determinants of Acceptance of Positive and Negative Self-Evaluative Feedback

Stuart J. Clayman

Richard M. Ryckman

University of Maine at Orono

Internals and externals with differing self-esteem dispositions were administered a series of personality tests and subsequently provided with bogus reports by a clinical psychologist containing either positive or negative information about their personalities. Consistent with self-esteem theory, more low than high self-esteem internals showed willingness to undertake remedial behavior to solve their problems, while there were no differences in the behavior of high and low self- esteem externals under the same circumstances.
