Self concept refers to the collection of information, ideas, attitudes and beliefs we have about ourselves. In other worlds it is constructed and is a schema of the self. Students took a self esteem test before semester. Students sat a midsession test during semester. Students sat a final exam after semester. For students who did well on the first test did well on the second test irrespective of the self esteem. Students who did poorly on the first test their results on the second test depended very heavily on their self esteem. Self esteem influences the way we respond to failure. People with high self esteem did pretty well on the second exam, people with low self esteem did poorly on the second exam as well.
