Self Esteem
 One’s overall self-evaluation
 “I feel I am a person of worth, the equal of other people.”
 “I feel I do not have much to be proud of.”
 A Cross-Cultural Perspective:
 Individualistic Cultures – United States, Canada, New Zealand,
Netherlands
 Focus more on themselves
 “me” culture
 Collectivist Cultures – Korea, Kenya, Japan
 How you feel about yourself is less important then life satisfaction
 More important to do your duty and fit into the community
 “we” culture
