Conceptual and empirical challenges to the "Authentic" versus "Hubristic" model of pride.
TLDR
It is demonstrated that the Hubristic Pride Scale does not measure feelings of pride at all, but rather measures acknowledgment that one has displayed pride in an excessive manner, and advocate, on evolutionary grounds, for continued inquiry into the prospective two-facet structure of pride using improved instruments.

The effects of self-esteem and evaluator demandingness on effort expenditure.
TLDR
Based on a self-enhancement perspective derived from attributional principles, an interaction was predicted: High self-esteem subjects would plan to exert greater effort when the evaluator was demanding than when he was undemanding, whereas low self- esteem subjects would exert greater efforts when theevaluator is undemanded.
