Summary: Self-esteem is an important factor affecting the quality of life (QoL) for cancer patients undergoing surgical procedures for bodily deformities. However, little data exists on which aspects of self-esteem are most closely associated with QoL. This article presents two studies aimed at addressing this gap. Study 1 focuses on changes in global self-esteem and QoL in oral cancer patients (n = 35) treated surgically, while Study 2 examines changes in explicit and implicit self-esteem and QoL in women with breast cancer undergoing mastectomy (n = 96). Both studies used the EORTC QLQ-C30 and Rosenberg's SES questionnaires, with Study 2 also including the Implicit Association Test (IAT). Results showed that patients experienced a decline in global QoL and self-esteem after surgery. Study 1 revealed that patients with higher initial self-esteem experienced a greater decrease in self-esteem and QoL compared to those with lower initial self-esteem. In Study 2, women with fragile self-esteem exhibited the largest decreases in various dimensions of QoL and explicit self-esteem. Conversely, women with high explicit and implicit self-esteem had the best QoL after mastectomy. These findings highlight the need for special psycho-oncological care for cancer patients with high, fragile self-esteem.

The findings indicated that awareness of purpose and altruistic purpose were positively associated with adolescents' self-esteem, while awakening to purpose was not significantly related once awareness of purpose and altruistic purpose were taken into account. This study expands the existing research on the role of purpose in students' personal well-being and development.

Summary: Past research has shown a positive association between independent self-construal and life satisfaction, mediated by self-esteem, in both individualistic and collectivistic cultures. Different ways of being independent are associated with self-esteem and life satisfaction in different cultures, indicating that feeling independent in culturally appropriate ways is more predictive of self-esteem and life satisfaction than a global concept of independence.

Summary: This study examines the autism identity of adults with ASD and the relationships to their self-reported work-related self-efficacy and quality of life. The findings indicate that acceptance feelings towards autism are significantly higher among individuals with ASD, negative feelings about living with autism are associated with lower work-related self-efficacy, and higher levels of enrichment feelings are related to a higher quality of life. These findings highlight the impact of illness identity on the work-related self-efficacy and quality of life among individuals with ASD.
