Question

BlackTom AI · Accepted Answer

The question asks about individuals who base their self-esteem on one social domain and how this affects their responses to failure or self-knowledge strategies.
Option 1: 'more likely to maintain their self-esteem in response to failure' – This suggests resilience in the face of failure, but when self-esteem hinges on a single social domain, failure in that domain typically undermines overall self-esteem, making strong maintenance less likely.
Option 2: 'less likely to use a greater variety of ways to gain self-knowledge' – When self-worth is tied to one domain, there is often less motivation to explore multiple self-knowledge routes, since the domain-based threat narrows focus. However, this statement is about diversity of self-knowledge methods rather than response to failure, which weakens its direct link to the core idea.
Option 3: 'less likely to maintain their self-esteem in response to failure' – This aligns with the notion that relying on a single social domain makes self-esteem fragile; a setback in that domain can disproportionately lower overall self-worth, leading to diminished self-esteem after failure.
Option 4: 'more likely to use a greater variety of ways to gain self-knowledge' – If self-esteem is dominated by one domain, there is typically less incentive to seek diverse sources of self-knowledge, not more; this option contradicts the idea of domain-dominated self-esteem.
Across the options, the reasoning centers on how domain-specific self-esteem reacts to failure and how it shapes subsequent self-knowledge strategies. The core pattern is that anchoring self-esteem in a single domain tends to reduce stability after domain-specific setbacks, and it generally reduces motivation to diversify self-knowledge approaches.
