Bill just won a chess competition, but he has an unhealthy self-concept. Predict how Bill may respond to his recent win (and why he may respond in the manner suggested)
What will be an ideal response?
Bill may downplay his strengths, fail to value his win, or expect to be
perceived negatively by others. On the other hand, he might also boast about or
exaggerate his win. Bill may respond in this manner because unhealthy self-concepts
can result in exaggerated and unrealistic perceptions of strengths and weaknesses. Bill
may be overly self-critical because it may be easier and less painful to criticize himself
than to hear the criticism of others. Bill may also boast about his accomplishment to
mask his feelings of insecurity and inadequacy.
