Boasting is to speak with excessive pride and self-satisfaction about one’s achievements, possessions, or abilities.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/us/definition/american_english/boast )〕 Boasting occurs when someone feels a sense of satisfaction or when someone feels that whatever occurred proves their superiority and is recounting accomplishments so that others will feel admiration or envy. Individuals construct an image of themselves, a personal identity, and present themselves in a manner that is consistent with that image. Theodore Millon, Ph.D., D.Sc. theorized that in self-presentation, individuals seek to balance boasting against discrediting themselves with excessive self-promotion or being caught blatantly misrepresenting themselves. Studies show that people often have a limited ability to perceive how their efforts at self-presentation are actually impacting their acceptance and likeability by others. ==Religious teachings== Christian bible: ''Thus says the Lord: “Let not the wise man boast in his wisdom, let not the mighty man boast in his might, let not the rich man boast in his riches'' (Jeremiah 9:23 ESV). Quran: ''Verily, Allâh does not like such as are proud and boastful; Those who are miserly and enjoin miserliness on other men and hide what Allâh has bestowed upon them of His Bounties'' (The Noble Qur'an 4:36-37). Hindu Wisdom: ''Whereas, in our Occident, the most dry and sterile minds brag in front of Nature'' (La Bible de l'Humanite in Oeuvres). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「boasting」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
