Abstract

Self-esteem, a critical psychological construct, reflects an individual’s subjective evaluation of the irworth and is intricately linked to social and emotional processes. This paper explores the neural mechanisms under lying self-esteem, drawing on sociometer theory and neuroscientific findings. Key brain regions, including the prefrontal cortex and cerebellum, are implicated in modulating self-esteem through social cognition and emotional regulation. The discussion integrates theoretical perspectives and empirical evidence to provide a comprehensive understanding of how self-esteem functions as a monitor of social acceptance and influences psychological well-being.
