 Among people with "positive self-views", the desire for self-verification works together with another important motive, the desire for positive evaluations or "self enhancement".For example, those who view themselves as "insightful" will find that their motives for both self-verification and self-enhancement encourage them to seek evidence that other people recognize their insightfulness.In contrast, people with "negative self-views" will find that the desire for self-verification and self-enhancement are competing.
