The results of the study showed that self-esteem and life satisfaction are positively correlated with positive problem orientation and rational problem solving; they are negatively correlated with negative problem orientation, impulsivity/carelessness, and avoidance styles. Self-confidence is one of the most important factors when it comes to problem solving and decision-making. It can help you feel more confident in your ability to figure out a solution or make a decision and help you feel more comfortable taking on challenges. Having a high level of self-confidence can also make you more likely to take risks and try new things, which can lead to better outcomes.
