Self-efficacy is defined as self-perceived ability to successfully complete or perform a particular task.

According to the Rogerian perspective, self-esteem is a personal judgment of worthiness.  It would follow then that low self-esteem is a result of personal judgment of unworthiness.  Rogerian theory suggests that people who have a consistent self-view across situations are psychologically healthier than people whose self-view is variable [...]]]></description>

These include unconditional positive regard of the client, empathic understanding, and congruence.

The Superego represents the moral branch of our functioning and contains ideals for which we strive as well as punishments we expect if we violate ethical codes.
