Prove your claim http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-esteemQuote: In the mid-1960s, Morris Rosenberg and social-learning theorists defined self-esteem as a personal worth or worthiness. Nathaniel Branden in 1969 defined self-esteem as "the experience of being competent to cope with the basic challenges of life and being worthy of happiness."
Any psychologist/sociologists to prove me wrong? Good to know... But the same word was there in 1768 (Encyclopædia Britannica)... Quote:History of the Encyclopædia Britannica From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The Encyclopædia Britannica has been published continuously since 1768, appearing in fifteen official editions. Several editions have been amended with multi-volume "supplements" (3rd, 5th/6th), consisted of previous editions with added supplements (10th, and 12th/13th) or undergone drastic re-organizations (15th). Any way, why do you asked? If it is such a major problem,I would like to know what it is and what is causing it but since its such a recent concept it leaves me confused.
