The concept of self confidence has gained popularity, in culture over the past five decades. Parents and educators have increasingly emphasized the belief that enhancing childrens self assurance can lead to performance and a successful life overall (Baskin, 2011). This movement originated from a book published in 1969 by psychologist Nathaniel Branden. Branden argued that many mental and emotional challenges people face stem from self esteem. He laid the groundwork for the Self Esteem Movement by suggesting that improving an individuals self esteem not enhances performance but may also alleviate issues.
Since then numerous studies and publications have explored the connection between success and self esteem. This idea has gained prominence not in literature but also in mainstream media. Before delving into the complexities of self esteem it is crucial to understand the distinctions among related concepts such as self efficacy, self confidence and self esteem.
