| Summary: | The present study investigated relationships between individuals' irrational beliefs and their levels of self-esteem and public and private self-consciousness. Four hypotheses were proposed. Firstly, there is a negative relationship between the number of irrational beliefs on an individuals own level of self-esteem. Secondly, there is a negative relationship between self-esteem and public and private self-consciousness. Thirdly, there is a positive relationship between irrational beliefs and public and private self-consciousness. The fourth and last hypothesis is that there are no gender differences in self esteem, irrational beliefs and public and private self-consciousness.
