Running Head: DECEPTION and SELF-ESTEEM
How Deception is linked with Self-esteem among Male
Collage Students
Abstract
The aim of this research is to examine the relationship between deception and self-esteem. In nature, human beings perceive themselves as much unique as possible and have priority to control other creatures in existing environment confidently; thereby it is crucial that to emphasize one of the vital psychological term, namely self-esteem, and its relationship between deception in a broad perspective. People with high self- esteem have comfortable feelings with a broad range of emotions. On the other hand, those who have fear of being ridiculed, negative thoughts about life, and blaming behavior might also have low self-esteem. In some condition, when people realized that they are deceived, then their self-esteem might change in temporal differences. In this perspective, I postulate that deception is negatively correlated with self-esteem by using two of influential measuring techniques, namely signature size and state self-esteem scale (SSES).
Key words: Self-esteem, deception, placebo effect, individual’s feelings, state self-esteem scale (SSES), signature analysis.
