Philosophical Ethics and Theory Personality Traits and Psychology Emotions and Moral Behavior

Abstract

ABSTRACT Can “self‐respect” supplant the now much‐maligned “global self‐esteem” in psychological research and therapy? The aim of the present paper is to examine this suggestion and develop it further. It is argued that there are two distinct philosophical concepts of self‐respect abroad in the literature, Kantian and Aristotelian, between which psychologists need to choose. The main components of Aristotelian self‐respect are then worked out. The paper concludes by exploring how, in order to make those components objectively measurable, certain methodological pitfalls must be avoided.
