What type of rewards are intended to enhance a person's self-esteem?

Informative rewards are designed to enhance a person's self-esteem by providing feedback about their performance or achievements. These rewards offer meaningful recognition, such as praise or constructive feedback, which helps individuals understand their value and capabilities. When someone receives an informative reward, it validates their efforts and successes, contributing positively to their self-perception and self-worth.

In contrast, material rewards, such as physical gifts, may not have the same impact on self-esteem since they do not necessarily communicate personal value or ability. Social rewards can enhance self-esteem as well, but they are more focused on acceptance within a group rather than personal feedback about one's own performance. Monetary rewards primarily motivate through financial gain rather than fostering a sense of self-worth or personal accomplishment. Thus, informative rewards are specifically tailored to boost an individual’s self-esteem by highlighting their strengths and successes.
