Within the body of academic research on success and happiness and what factors that we've been reviewing correlate to those, an area that stands out is core self-evaluation. Core self-evaluation is composed of four domains, each of which we'll examine in a little bit more detail, one of which we already have explored earlier in our lesson. First among these, self-esteem. How do you feel about yourself? Do you feel okay? If your self-esteem is high, that contributes to success and probability of happiness. Do you feel you have the skills and ability to do the job? That's generalized self-efficacy. If you believe you do, then your probability of success goes up. Neuroticism, as we talked earlier very briefly about personality and as we'll discuss a little bit later, your ability to stay calm in pressure situations can have a significant positive impact on your success. If you respond emotionally, that could have a negative consequence when it comes to job satisfaction and success. And lastly, locus of control as we described earlier has a significant impact on whether you feel empowered and in control of those factors that you need to be successful. I'd like now as I did before with locus of control, to share some of my own results as I took the self-assessment for Core Self-Evaluation. My results ended up being a number 4 which puts me in roughly in the third quartile. That suggests that overall, I have a positive self-regard that enables me to enjoy success and to be happy in those endeavors that I undertake. My suspicion is the reason it is not a little bit higher is that as I approach new and more challenging activities, I tend to have a little bit of nervousness about whether or not I can accomplish those. And that's probably also reflected in my openness to experience category in the big five that we'll talk about a little bit later.
