Self-esteem has been demonstrated to predict health and well-being in a number of samples and domains using retrospective reports, but little is known about the effect of self-esteem in daily life. A community sample with asthma (n = 97) or rheumatoid arthritis (n = 31) completed a self-esteem measure and collected Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) data 5x/day for one week using a palmtop computer. Low self-esteem predicted more negative affect, less positive affect, greater stress severity, and greater symptom severity in daily life. Naturalistic exploration of mechanisms relating self-esteem to physiological and/or psychological components in illness may clarify causal relationships and inform theoretical models of self-care, well-being, and disease management.
自尊已被证明在许多样本和领域中通过回顾性报告来预测健康和幸福,但对于自尊在日常生活中的影响却知之甚少。一个患有哮喘(n = 97)或类风湿性关节炎(n = 31)的社区样本完成了一项自尊测量,并使用掌上电脑在一周内每天5次收集生态瞬时评估(EMA)数据。低自尊预示着日常生活中更多的负面影响、更少的积极影响、更大的压力严重程度和更大的症状严重程度。对自尊与疾病中的生理和/或心理成分之间关系的自然主义探索可能会阐明因果关系,并为自我护理、幸福和疾病管理的理论模型提供信息
