 Researchers have recently questioned the benefits associated with having high self-esteem. I propose that the importance of self-esteem lies more in how people strive for it rather than whether it is high or low. My research investigates the domains in which people invest their self-esteem, how they pursue self-esteem in these domains, and the consequences of this pursuit for goals in specific situations, and for learning, relationships, autonomy and self-regulation, and mental and physical health.
