In recent years, research has increasingly focused on individual fluctuation of short-term emotions as a means of explaining changes in self-esteem. In this study, an association between trait self-esteem (TSE), i.e., self-esteem as a characteristic, and state self-esteem (SSE), the type of self-esteem that is alterable by daily events were examined. Every day for one week, 61 students (23 male) from three universities were surveyed. Data were analyzed by hierarchical linear and nonlinear modeling, and revealed a positive association between SSE and TSE that suggests TSE is a general evaluation and SSE varies according to specific experiences. Individual differences were also observed such that the SSE and TSE relationship was affected by interpersonal dislocation: those who had experienced interpersonal dislocation, compared with those who had not, demonstrated a temporary intensi...

The study included 595 university students (M=19.57 years), and their self-function and social anxiety were measured. We found that the ‘self-functions’ were focused on their understanding and evaluation of ‘seken.’ The evaluation contents were fed back to ‘I’ indicating the early occurrence of anxiety as a warning. This research not only deepened the empirical understanding of ‘seken’ but also provided further implications on the adaptational meanings of self-function and social anxiety.
