Self-evaluative Motives

Self-Evaluative Motives is a psychological construct that refers to the internal drives orienting individuals toward self-assessment in order to maintain, enhance, or verify their self-concept, distinguishing it from other self-regulatory motives by its focus on evaluating the self rather than changing behavior or achieving external goals.
