    "This study examined several different types of self-worth beliefs and  evaluations as predictors of depression and self-esteem.  Based upon a  self-schema model of emotion, some of these beliefs and evaluations had a  traditional negative focus (e.g., “I am failing at work”), whereas  others focused specifically on positive aspects of self-worth (e.g., “I  am able to give, as well as receive, in relationships”).  Findings  indicated that positive self-worth evaluations were one of the main  predictors of greater self-esteem and less depression, thus indicating a  need for further exploration of the role of positive evaluative  components of the self-schema on psychological well-being.  Our findings  also revealed that self-worth beliefs and evaluative standards  pertaining to independence and a sense of mastery over one’s environment  were generally better predictors of well-being than those pertaining to  relationships with others.  This pattern was particularly evident for  self-esteem, and supports the distinction made in the self-schema model  between self-worth based upon individualism versus relatedness themes.   Finally, we compared the relative predictive utility of the self-schema  model with a self-worth contingency model advanced by Crocker.  Here,  the beliefs and evaluations specified in the self-schema model were  significant predictors of well-being, above and beyond the specific  content domains specified in the self-worth contingency model."
