The study found self-conscious emotions is produced by attribution, when the main self are manifested can trigger the reason of emotions, the internal or external attribution will cause self-awareness emotions.Lewis of self-conscious emotions theory research propound not only this way, some personality attribution factors, such as self-esteem will influence of self-conscious emotions. Research in recent years in self-esteem found, implicit self-esteem is a very important character existed in self-esteem structure, with the explicit self-esteem, and play the basic role. Lewis in his self-conscious emotions theory proposed that the implicit self-esteem may be the basis of Self-conscious emotions, and long-term experience of the emotions will shape and change the individual's implicit self-esteem and explicit self-esteem. This shows that explicit self-esteem, implicit self-esteem and self-conscious emotions may exist certain relationship. The research on self-conscious emotions in domestic just stay in the explicit self-esteem, but lack of research on implicit self-esteem. The study is based on the above ideas, explore the students explicit, implicit self-esteem, attribution style and the relationship between self-conscious emotions, to train students to create a good mood experience and good personality.
