They have a stronger self-concept and therefore stronger self-verification. They would consider that they did a good job and deserved a more positive feedback. Therefore, a more positive feedback would increase their motivation and performance. If slight positive feedback is given to this group of people, they would not receive this feedback as the slight positive feedback did not match with their self-concept.For those chose to use toilet bowl, which showed that they had less trustfulness and lower self-concept, a less positive feedback would cause a higher(prenominal)(prenominal) motivation and performance since they think they deserved less po sitive feedback. They would accept it and hence it satisfied their self-esteem. Once their self-esteem is satisfied, they would promote to a higher hierarchy self-actualization. P. s.
