Believing that the future is beyond human control increases self-esteem of introverts
A new experiment tested the effects of inducing a fatalistic time perspective on the self-esteem of introverts and extroverts. Results showed that self-esteem of introverts increased after fatalistic time perspective was induced i.e., after they were put in a situation in which they saw the future as beyond human control. The same procedure had no effect on extroverts. The study was published in the the Journal of General Psychology. The perception of how much control one has over time and what is happening in his/her life is very important for psychological functioning of every individual.
