What drives us to climb that highest mountain? And what do we subsequently feel when we realize we are extremely bad at mountain climbing and decide to fake an injury to get helicoptered back to base camp?

These self-conscious emotions drive people to work hard to succeed (Stipek, 1995; Weiner, 1985) and to behave in moral and pro-social ways in their relationships (Baumeister, Stillwell, & Heatherton, 1994; Leith & Baumeister, 1998; Retzinger, 1987).
