QUESTION: 1
Study the text below and answer the questions that follow:
WHAT WE GET WRONG ABOUT SELF-ESTEEM: IT’S BUILT THROUGH ACTIONS, NOT WORDS.
There’s an entire wellness industry dedicated to improving self-esteem, but it often gets things wrong.
Standing in front of a mirror and saying “I’m awesome” probably isn’t going to make you feel better about
yourself, because self-esteem can be explicit or implicit, and how you consciously think about yourself
might not align with how you unconsciously feel about yourself.
People want quick fixes, but unfortunately, building healthy, realistic, and stable self-esteem isn’t that
simple. Self-esteem is often described as high or low: either we like ourselves and are confident in our
abilities or we don’t.
Level of self-esteem is an important measure. Low self-esteem has been linked with depression and eating
disorders and high self-esteem has been linked with defensiveness, aggression, and narcissism.
