Answer to Question 1

Answer: C
Explanation: A) Incorrect. Self-evaluation is the extent to which people value themselves and feel proficient as individuals. It has nothing to do with whether people accurately evaluate others' perceptions of them.
B) Incorrect. This answer choice refers to self-awareness, rather than self-evaluation.
C) Correct. The four components of self-esteem are (value), self-efficacy (proficiency), neuroticism (proficiency and value), and locus of control (proficiency).
D) Incorrect. Expressed need for affection is not central to self-evaluation. Self-evaluation is the extent to which people value themselves and feel proficient as individuals.

Answer: B
Explanation: A) Incorrect. This answer choice describes self-esteem. Neuroticism refers to the tendency to have a negative outlook and pessimistic approach to life.
B) Correct. Because this is a negative, rather than a positive, attribute, it is reverse-scored. That is, a higher neuroticism score will lower one's core self-evaluation.
C) Incorrect. This answer choice refers to locus of control. Neuroticism refers to the tendency to have a negative outlook and pessimistic approach to life.
D) Incorrect. This answer choice refers to self-efficacy. Neuroticism refers to the tendency to have a negative outlook and pessimistic approach to life.
