Popis:	Based on Zhongyong wisdom (or the Doctrine of the Mean), the current study argues that syncretic self-esteem, depending on concerns for both the self and others, relates to both agency and communion when controlling for exclusive contingency on either self-interests (i.e., peculiar self-esteem) or the interests of others (i.e., compromised self-esteem). Study 1 showed that syncretic self-esteem was positively correlated with the personality traits of agency and communion, but not with unmitigated agency and communion, when controlling for peculiar and compromised self-esteem. Study 2 showed that syncretic self-esteem was positively correlated with the simultaneous endorsing of high self-competence and self-liking after controlling for peculiar and compromised self-esteem. These results could theoretically help promote both agency and communion and, in practice, contribute to the healthy formation of contingent self-esteem, thus promoting the lasting benefits of human well-being.
