1 hr confidence:
inferiority position Explanation: just a try! Note that Unwertposition and Gleichwertposition do not appear in Google, neither in Medline, which covers a lot of psychology papers; will be dificult to be sure then. Greetings, Nikolaus Reference: http://www.spaceless.com/papers/5.htm |

1 hr confidence:
devalued position Explanation: Or de-valued. I don´t think "negative" and its relatives are quite right - this is the absence of value rather than a negative value - "we are both worthless". I also would not favour "inferior" here, because it implies a comparison in which one side is better, but I don´t think that is the case here, it is even valueless-ness. |

position of underconfidence Explanation: might be an alternative. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-06-02 10:55:22 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- http://www.iew.unizh.ch/grp/hens/papers/MacieSS01.html -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-06-02 11:03:16 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- in view of the fact that both are equally underconfident, probably better: \"position of unconfidence\" http://members.ozemail.com.au/~ddiamond/mbti.html |

1 hr confidence:
position of insecurity Explanation: Since the this term is the opposite of "overconfident", it ought to be something like "insecurity". From the context, "hypercritical position" or "self-denigrating position" would work, too. |

3 hrs confidence:
I-U- life position Explanation: This is how it is generally used within TA. If you want it more descriptive, I'd opt for "negative life position", which is basically what it means. Hope this helps |
