Abstract: The purpose of this study was to determine if self-esteem and augmented feedback had an effect on the amount of negative self-reinforcement which high school girls in physical education activity classes would give themselves after they performed a novel motor task. The hypotheses were: (a) low self-esteem (LSE) individuals who received augmented affective reinforcement (AAR) and augmented informational feedback (AIF) would administer more negative self-reinforcement than would high self-esteem (HSE) individuals who received AAR and AIF, (b) HSE and LSE individuals who received AIF would respond with more negative self-reinforcement than would HSE and LSE individuals who received AAR, (c) LSE individuals who were administered AIF would give more negative self-reinforcement than would LSE individuals who were administered AAR, and (d) HSE individuals who were administered AAR would give more negative self-reinforcement than would HSE individuals who were administered AIF. Forty subjects selected from 312 high school girls were assigned to two levels of self-esteem, high and low, according to the scores made on the Rogers and Dymond's revised version of the Self-Ideal- Ordinary Q-Sort. The subjects were randomly blocked to two augmented feedback conditions, AIF and AAR.
