Self-esteem & confidence

How you regard yourself — your underlying sense of worth and your belief in what you can do.

Reflects two well-studied constructs in psychology: global self-esteem (the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Rosenberg 1965) and self-efficacy, the belief that you can handle what you take on (Bandura, 1977) — Bandura framed self-efficacy as a more situation-specific belief than a person's global sense of worth. Offered as gentle self-ratings, not a clinical measure: self-worth isn't fixed and can grow, and research on self-compassion (Neff) suggests it can be a steadier footing than chasing high self-esteem alone. (Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965) + Bandura's self-efficacy (1977))
