Abstract

In this investigation for studying the relationship between emotions and causal attribution dimensions( control center, controllability, constancy dimensions) with self-esteem, scholar has performed Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RES), Watson, Clark, Positive Affective Negative Affective Scale (PANAS) and Causal Dimension Scale (CDS) Tests, in the case of 367 student subjects in Tabriz University. Spss statistical program, regression analysis and pearsonian correlation is used to analyse the hypothesis. The variables of the Causal Attribution Dimensions were studied in the success and failure situation. Multiple regression results show that , positive emotions and consequently, controllable, inner and constant attributions in the Success situation are the most important factors in increasing self-esteem, and an individual can raise his positive emotions and increase his self-esteem through internalization the attributions and knowing them controllable and constant. Also controllable and inner attributions in Failure situation are effective in increasing negative emotions; so it is probable that negative emotions are effective in decreasing self-esteem and so an individual’s physical and mental health is exposed to risk.

Keywords: Constancy, Control center, Controllability, Emotion, Self-Esteem.
