As a measure of one�s sense of self-worth and self-competence self-esteem is a judgment you make of yourself by yourself. Just as people have reputations both good and bad � you too have a reputation. Not the reputation you have as seen through the eyes of others but as seen, so to speak, through your own eyes.

As in the self-actualising tendency of Rogerian psychotherapy, self-esteem can be conceptualised as part of an internal driving force that moves you toward becoming the best you can possibly be. Self-esteem is not fixed and you are not born with it. It grows out of the human tendency to develop to the best as circumstances (the environment) will allow. For all of us it  varies from day to day; increasing or decreasing depending on the 'prevailing psychological climate�

Is self-esteem fixed?
No, it is not fixed and even for individuals with high self-esteem it varies from day to day. Clearly, if it were fixed then there would be little hope that one could make any personal changes.

Is it determined by our childhood experiences?
As children we were bombarded with psychological 'messages' from those significant adults such as parents and teachers? These messages were not necessarily verbally stated but were �coded� so to speak, in the behaviours of those we grew up with. Neither were they necessarily given consciously and intentionally by others. The quantity and quality of the parenting varies from the inexperienced new parent doing the best s/he possibly can, to the outright abusive malfunctioning individual. Messages can be either positive or negative. Positive messages provide unconditional acceptance of the child and encourages healthy psychological development. Negative messages on the other hand are flavoured with we only accept you under certain conditions. Such conditional-acceptance discourages healthy personal development stunting them to develop within the confines and expectation of others. It is as if all these conditions and messages have been instrumental in how we set up or wrote our 'Life Script'. It has been said that we write (metaphorically speaking of course) a life script that determines our role in life and how we act it out.
Back to the question of whether it is fixed we can begin to answer that by looking at some recent research: In 1990 a number of studies were carried out in the United States (the California Task Force). The outcome of these studies clearly indicates that just small, simple, short-term psychological interventions can bring about significant changes.
