	A SELF CONCEPT-BASED MODEL OF WORK MOTIVATION (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		In the self concept-based model of motivation which we are proposing, one's concept of self is composed of four interrelated self-perceptions: the perceived self, the ideal self, one's self esteem, and a set of social identities.
		Self-esteem is the evaluative component of the self concept, and is a function of the distance between the ideal self and the perceived self.
		The structure of the self concept may be thought of as a relatively stable set of cognitions that provide the basis for the expectancies, instrumentalities, and valences in instrumental or calculative motivation.

	Self Concept Based Motivation (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Self Esteem The self esteem is the evaluative component of the self.
		Since the distance between the ideal and perceived self constantly varies depending on task and social feedback, self esteem is a dynamic component of the self concept and it is always in a state of change and development.
		Socially-influenced self esteem results from communication or feedback from reference group members or society as a whole, concerning the value of an identity and the individual's ability to meet the expectations of the reference group and/or society as a whole.

		The formation of a self image can be a very challenging project for an individual, especially when family, community, or the general society issues strongly negative evaluations of a person that happen to be inaccurate.
		However, when social forces directed against the individual have been strongly manipulative, it may be very helpful for the individual to secure professional help in rectifying matters.
		Such rectification is most often directed at the individual, but corrective efforts may also need to be directed against members of the general community and/or social institutions that have manipulated individuals in a detrimental way.

	Self-efficacy
		This focus on a student's sense of self as a principal component of academic motivation is grounded on the taken-for-granted assumption that the beliefs that students create, develop, and hold to be true about themselves are vital forces in their success or failure in school.
		This conception of self brought to the forefront of psychological thought an emphasis on the importance of social comparisons in the development of self-beliefs.
		This is the foundation of Bandura's (1978) conception of triadic reciprocal causation, the view that (a) personal factors in the form of cognition, affect, and biological events, (b) behavior, and (c) environmental influences create interactions that result in a triadic reciprocality of human functioning.

		In stating that the goal for Gestalt therapy work is self support, we put the unblocking of a positive sense of self at the heart of the maturation process.
		In an earlier paper (Korb, 1984) I described one of the reasons for the slowness of the maturation process: the necessary change of the "core" self concept from the (to some extent) negative and shameful (Yontef, 1993) sense of self that is learned in childhood and reinforced by personal experiences throughout life.
		Negative beliefs about the self are built up in early years of life (perhaps before age 6) as a reaction to the input from significant others.
