Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Education

Background:

  • Adolescent self-esteem is crucial for development.
  • Understanding factors influencing self-esteem in high school students is important.
  • Previous research has explored various influences on adolescent self-esteem.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the relationship between school activities, part-time work, and self-esteem in high school students.
  • To examine gender differences in the correlates of self-esteem.
  • To identify specific factors associated with self-esteem in urban, middle-class adolescents.

Main Methods:

  • Survey research design.
  • Sample of middle-class urban high school sophomores and juniors.
  • Analysis of participation in school activities, hours of part-time work, age, gender, and curricular track in relation to self-esteem.

Main Results:

  • Self-esteem was influenced by the nature of school activities and gender.
  • No significant correlates of self-esteem were found among boys in a multivariate context.
  • Among girls, hours worked, age, and curricular track were significant correlates of self-esteem.

Conclusions:

  • The nature of school activities and gender play a role in adolescent self-esteem.
  • Part-time work and academic factors differentially affect self-esteem in adolescent girls.
  • Findings highlight the complex interplay of school, work, and personal factors on self-esteem.
