sociometer theory  

Definición

  • Sociometer Theory proposes that self-esteem is an internal, subjective gauge of the degree to which people perceive that they are relationally valued and socially accepted by other people. The sociometer approach to self-esteem differs from most traditional explanations in suggesting that self-esteem has no value in its own right and that people neither need self-esteem nor are motivated to pursue it for its own sake.
