Positive & Negative Emotions

Self-Esteem

  • Adults emotions depend on their environment
  • Family relations, financial status, personal difficulties, etc.
  • Adults tend to be happier if they are both financially stable, and have ample time to continue their hobbies, as well as have a good relationship with friends and family
  • Adults tend to be sadder if they are having trouble at work or with people close to them, and do not have time to do what they would like
  • Self-Esteem in adulthood is affected mainly by one's professional career and social life
  • Self-Esteem tends to go up until a person's 60's
  • Could be because of all of the different jobs and accomplishments a person achieves at this time
  • One's self-esteem begins to decline around late 60's - early 70's
  • Could be because of lower social status and reflection on life, as well as relationships with people close to them
