The Problem
with Self-Help Books: Study shows the negative side to
positive self-statements
In times of doubt and uncertainty, many people turn to
self-help books in search of encouragement, guidance and
self-affirmation. The positive self-statements suggested in
these books, such as "I am a lovable person" or "I will
succeed," are designed to lift a person's low self-esteem
and push them into positive action. According to a recent
study in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association
for Psychological Science, however, these statements can
actually have the opposite effect.
The psychologists suggested that, like overly positive
praise, unreasonably positive self-statements, such as "I
accept myself completely," can provoke contradictory
thoughts in individuals with low self-esteem. Such negative
thoughts can overwhelm the positive thoughts. And, if people
are instructed to focus exclusively on positive thoughts,
they may find negative thoughts to be especially
discouraging.
