| Summary: | This annotated bibliography of 12 publications on student self-esteem includes six research studies that indicate the following: (1) it is the actual ability of students, not their self-concepts of ability, that make the difference in academic success; (2) students who feel strong parental pressure generally have lower self-esteem; (3) self-esteem has a negligible effect on subsequent delinquency, and delinquent behavior itself tends to lower, not raise, self-esteem; (4) there is no significant causal relationship between general self-esteem and academic achievement; (5) self-esteem is caused by prior success in the classroom; and (6) high self-esteem is a consequence of having experienced meaningful successes. Additional publications deal with: measuring self-esteem in early adolescents; steps administrators can take to raise students' self-esteem and to help students in middle-level schools enhance their self-perception; ways to block the no-effort strategy employed by students who have a fear of failure; helping students set meaningful goals that they can attain. Finally, one article argues that healthy self-esteem is based on a realistic and responsible assessment of one's self in all its aspects, and accepting the worth and rights of others. (MLF) |
