    Self-esteem in children differs by age and sex, with reading achievement correlating with self-esteem in boys but not girls. Sex-role related factors influence self-esteem differences in preadolescent children.

    Area of Science:

    • Developmental Psychology
    • Child Psychology
    • Educational Psychology

    Background:

    • Self-esteem is a crucial aspect of child development.
    • Understanding sex differences in self-esteem and its relation to academic achievement is important for targeted interventions.
    • Bardwick's theories provide a framework for exploring these differences.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To test Bardwick's predictions regarding sex differences in self-esteem among preadolescent children.
    • To examine the relationship between reading achievement and self-esteem across different age groups and sexes.
    • To identify sex-role related factors influencing self-esteem.

    Main Methods:

    • Collected data on self-esteem and reading scores from 307 urban children (grades 2-6).

    Related Experiment Videos

  • Analyzed self-esteem and reading achievement data in relation to age and sex.
  • Utilized statistical analysis to test specific hypotheses derived from Bardwick's theories.

    • Main Results:

    • Confirmed that self-esteem was higher in boys than girls among older preadolescent children.
    • Confirmed that sex differences in specific self-esteem items were related to sex roles.
    • Did not find a significant correlation between reading achievement and self-esteem for girls at any tested age level, contrary to predictions.

    Conclusions:

    • Self-esteem development in children is influenced by age and sex, with older boys exhibiting higher self-esteem than older girls.
    • Reading achievement's link to self-esteem differs significantly between boys and girls.
    • The findings suggest distinct developmental pathways and sources for male and female self-esteem in preadolescence.
