This illustrates one significant advantage of the learning approaches over psychodynamics: Because learning approaches involve observable, measurable phenomena, they can be scientifically tested.

They are constantly doing, planning, playing, and getting together with friends. This is an active time and when they are gaining a sense of how they measure up when compared with peers. Erikson believed that if these industrious children can be successful in their endeavors, they will get confidence for future challenges. If not, a sense of inferiority can be haunting during middle and late childhood.

Motivation describes the wants or needs that direct behavior toward a goal. In addition to biological motives, motivations can be intrinsic (arising from internal factors) or extrinsic (arising from external factors). Intrinsically motivated behaviors are performed because of the sense of personal satisfaction that they bring, while extrinsically motivated behaviors are performed in order to receive something from others.

Bandura's social learning theory emphasized that individuals learn by observing others, integrating behaviorist and cognitive theories by focusing on attention, memory, and motivation. It developed into the Social Cognitive Theory, highlighting the interplay of personal, behavioral, and environmental factors.

Self-esteem derives from our evaluations of our self-concept and skills, known as self-efficacy, as well as comparisons between our actual, ideal, and ought selves, as per self-discrepancy theory. Social comparison and self-discrepancy theories impact self-concept and self-esteem, influencing communication and behavior through judgments of self-worth.
