“…Cast and Burke (2002:1042) define self-esteem as "…an individual's overall positive evaluation of the self" (Citing Gecas, 1982;Rosenberg, 1990). They note that it is primarily composed of two dimensions, competence and worth, where competence is defined as the "degree to which people see themselves as capable and efficacious" and worth is defined as the "degree to which individuals feel they are persons of value."…”

“…"An identity is a set of meanings that represent the understandings, feelings and expectations that are supplied to the self as an occupant of a social position" (Cast and Burke, 2002:1043, citing Burke and Tulley, 1977and Stets and Burke, 2000. Self-esteem is believed to increase when the meanings between the situation and self-identities are congruent because there is affirmation of the self.…”

“…Self-esteem is believed to increase when the meanings between the situation and self-identities are congruent because there is affirmation of the self. Conversely, when identity is not verified, the individual may be left feeling unaccepted by the group, consequently leaving them alienated (Cast and Burke, 2002). When an individual forms their role identity (i.e., as a police officer) the result is to match meanings of the situation to their conception and expectations of the role.…”

The evidence on police stress is mixed as to whether or not the nature of police work is inherently stressful. A growing body of research suggests police officers are no more stressed than other groups and police work is not especially stressful. Instead, organizational stressors may be the greatest source of stress in police officers. Various structural arrangements, policies and practices imply police agencies can be inhospitable workplaces, where officers must withstand a variety of daily hassles generated internally by the organization.

“…First, young East Germans used positive re-evaluations of the GDR to protect their selfesteem or positive evaluations of self (Cast and Burke 2002), which were de-valued in the wholesale condemnation of communist East German experiences and culture (Clarke and Wölfel 2011). The use of the GDR past as a "protection" is also seen from another research with East…”

The present study found that the textbook and newspaper presentations, primarily shaped by the 1990s nation-building elites, mainly portrayed Yugoslavia in negative political, economic and ethnic terms. However, findings from 72 in-depth interviews with the two young Croatian generations suggested that the influence of the dominant negative re-evaluations was limited, particularly among the vocationally educated individuals who were least exposed to the institutionalized presentations of the Yugoslav past. In contrast, the young Croats, independently of their differences, generally dominantly evaluated Yugoslavia in positive social terms, which was a perspective obtained from their parents and older people recounting their good lives in Yugoslavia. This perspective was appropriated not only because its sources were emotionally available and credible, but also because the social lens on Yugoslavia helped the young Croats make sense of their lives in the social insecurities of the contemporary Croatian society.ix Therefore, the present study showed how different beliefs on the Yugoslav past, available from different sources, were appropriated and used by the young Croats. I also proposedInteractional Model of Collective Memories Formation, which elaborated how the influences on the beliefs of the past were formed at the macro, micro and the level of social interaction. Finally, this study also illuminated how active actors reinterpreted the presentations of the past, thus demonstrating how individuals can use culture in diverse and adept ways. They wore their hair long, discovered LSD and pot They sang about peace, with Tito they were non-aligned On national basis, they were not divided It was easy to talk philosophy in a student mess, To be a penniless artist and a musician in-between In a place where things were working out all-right, where the state functioned It was easy to be a student in the 1970s My folks -they easily found their first job Nobody hit the unemployment office with a degree in their hands The living was good in that party system Nobody talked about Goli otok, you just changed the subject The students with their hair long got a degree and got a job, got their paycheck regularly You even could get an apartment from the United Work It was easy then to have big plans To make your own nest, to be relaxed, no tensions there To have your spot in the company reserved, in the selfmanagement committee as well You stayed until you retired -all your life at the same desk Everything didn't seem as a bluff, a cheap trick in those days Nobody went hungry They were happy in their little apartment Secure job and a retirement fund It was an easy decision to have us Nothing is the same anymore, there is no secure path There is no direct flight to the stars, to the better tomorrow Black-and- (born 1989-91), was born after the break-up, but it spent its formative years in democratizing post-Yugoslav period.Both these generations were hardly able to form mature meaningful evaluations of the past. 4Rather, for th...

“…In particular, feelings of shame, self-doubt and social isolation also influence the behaviour and self-perception of the needy. Self-esteem is significantly determined by positive affirmations of identity within reference groups (Cast and Burke 2002). If these positive affirmations are not available, a lack of self-consciousness and shame can be the result.…”
