Relationship Contingent Self-Esteem[edit]

  • Article is new enough and long enough. Hook is properly formatted.
  • Article has a tag that needs cleaning. Some one add categories to it please? Article is not fully supported by inline citations. See fact tag in article. Article has POV tags that need cleaning up. Some of these sentences make little sense to me: "Those who are high in RCSE are often high in rejection sensitivity" Is that saying: Those who have high self esteem like that being discussed in this article are great at handling insensitive rejections? There are some other tags that need cleaning related to clarity.
The meaning of the sentence you quote above is directly explained in the following sentence: "High rejection sensitivity is the tendency to anxiously expect rejection from one’s significant other." So this means that people whose self-esteem is highly contingent upon their relationship (high RCSE) often have high levels of anxious expectation about rejection. Please let me know if I can be more clear about this.Velvsop (talk) 17:52, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Don't think hook is really supported by article. The article doesn't say this is a fact but that it is thought this is true I think.
I will change the wording. The authors of the empirical article from which I get this information believe this is true.Velvsop (talk) 17:52, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
  • offline sources are not plagiarised and support cited text. --LauraHale (talk) 02:37, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Before going further with the review, please fix problems where tags are indicated and then remove tags, make sure hook is supported by text and improve readability so text makes more sense? --LauraHale (talk) 02:37, 14 April 2012 (UTC)

Do you have any specific suggestions for how I can improve readability? Thank you.Velvsop (talk) 17:52, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
  • Is "Relationship Contingent Self-Esteem" even a term of use in psychology? Only one of the sources seems to mention it. And the source most heavily used (26 citations, I think, doesn't use it). MathewTownsend (talk) 21:22, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
