An investigation into the interrelations between the self concept and feelings directed toward other persons and groups.

Abstract

Client statements from 10 cases were analyzed. It is concluded that there is a definite relationship between the way an individual feels about himself and the way he feels about other persons. One who holds negative feelings about himself tends to hold negative feelings toward other people in general. As a client's feelings about himself change to objective or positive, feelings about others change in a similar direction. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2006 APA, all rights reserved)
