Paper topic[edit]

This is an excellent topic that is likely to be read by a lot of people. You have a good starting set of references. You may also want to consider work by Geraldine Downey. William Fleeson (talk) 21:39, 17 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Feedback[edit]

Hi velvsop, Your article is excellently organized, adopts a NPOV, good coverage, and fills an important gap on Wikipedia. I have a few suggestions:

  • Under Costs to Relationship, can you cite the first two sentences? (Your readers may want to follow-up!)
  • This article could be categorized (as it has been tagged): under psychology, self-esteem, or a related topic.
  • Using the template function for the reflist will improve clarity.
  • This article was criticized for relying primarily on a few sources. The only suggestion I have is to be on the "look-out" for articles in this growing area of research and add content as it becomes relevant!
  • Overall organization is clear. Because there is not a Wikipedia page on contingent self-esteem, it may be beneficial to spend 1-2 more sentences distinguishing contingent and non-contingent in the Intro paragraph for those readers unfamiliar with psychology or self-esteem research.

Interesting topic. It seems that like many maladaptive behaviors, endorsing RCSE plunges one in a self-perpetuating cycle. Are women more prone to this than men? I found it interesting that RCSE is not based on the quality of or degree of investment in the relationship. Are there certain personality types that are more prone to exhibiting this? I thought the “approval sex motives” section was cool. Do men do this? This reminds me of a concept I investigated in college, Risk In Intimacy (RII). Those high on this construct tend to display the same kind of maladaptive behaviors (such as rejection sensitivity). In addition, their relationships (romantic and or platonic) tend to be less profound, fulfilling and numerous. I like the section about alternatives and positive coping mechanisms and the findings on self-compassion. Maybe try to add related concepts like RII and relative power in relationships?
