N2 - The study compared the affective and cognitive reactions of three different personality groups after experiencing failure and success: individuals with high self-esteem and high need for approval (nApp)-defensive high self-esteem; individuals with high self-esteem and low nApp-true high self-esteem; and individuals with low self-esteem. One hundred and thirty eight subjects completed the Marlowe-Crowne Social Desirability Scale, and two scales of the Self-Rating Scale, self-regard and academic self-esteem. Subjects were given an anologies test and were then given either success of failure feedback. They were then asked to predict their success and to express their willingness to succeed in another task. Results showed that the affective responses of the subjects with high self-esteem and low nApp differed from the other two groups. The results suggest that there are two types of high self-esteem individuals, those with defensive high self-esteem and those with true self-esteem.
