Overconfidence Effect - Core Self-evaluations

Core Self-evaluations

Very high levels of core self-evaluations (CSE), a stable personality trait composed of locus of control, neuroticism, self-efficacy, and self-esteem, may lead to the overconfidence effect.

Famous quotes containing the word core:

    “In the core of God’s abysm,—
    Was a weed of self and schism;
    And ever the Daemonic Love
    Is the ancestor of wars,
    And the parent of remorse.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
