Sociometer

Explanation:

The sociometer theory talks about how self-esteem is influenced by the reactions of our social surroundings. Whether or not an individual has a high self-esteem naturally or not, when a person receives a negative feedback from his or her environment due to a behavior they engage in, their self-esteem would be lowered. The opposite also applies - when they engage in behavior that their environment approves of, the individual would report higher self-esteem.
