Abstract
explicate the ambivalence that characterizes people with negative self-views / suggest that this ambivalence grows out of a tendency for such persons to be trapped in a crossfire between two competing motives / on the one hand, people with negative self-views desire favorable feedback; on the other, they desire feedback that confirms their self-views / [examine] the nature and consequences of their desire for favorable evaluations (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2004 APA, all rights reserved)
