How much self-esteem does it take to be sceptical?

When we doubt ourselves or even reject ourselves we cause emotional damage to ourselves on the one hand and on the other hand our entire life suffers - our relationships with other people our work our free time and much more... How much we believe in our abilities or not depends of course on the development of each individual (education upbringing etc.) but we must not forget the influence of external factors such as advertising. Media coverage plays a major role as do constant comparisons with other people. This paper aims to examine the two constructs of self-esteem and scepticism and also asks to what extent these constructs are related and influence each other.
