<p>The article provides survey results that points to high self-esteem, that’s all. The researcher (or maybe Fox News) then makes the jump from high self-esteem to mean over-confidence, they then make another jump from over-confidence to unrealistic expectations. As far as I can see, there is no mention or arguments made to validate these two contentious inferences, they were just asserted plainly. I see it as either the researchers’ ploy to gain attention, or the media’s ploy at sensationalism.</p>
