Self-Esteem - Science topic

Hi all,

For my masters project I am investigating the correlations between death anxiety, self-esteem and psychopathological symptoms (depression & anxiety). Then I hypothesise that self-esteem moderates the relationship between death anxiety and symptomatology e.g. high levels of self-esteem weakens the relationship between DA and symptomatology.

The statistical analysis suggested by my supervisor is multinominal logistic regression - this is because the three variables are split into categories low, medium and high (due to scales used). In an academic discussion with my peers I was worried this is not the right type of analysis, as I am trying to gauge how many participants I need.

Does anyone have any advice on what tests to use?

Self-esteem plays a very important role in any human being. In orthodontics, self-esteem plays a very important role for the Orthodontist and the patients. The role extends to the psychosocial influence, OHRQOL, and work-life balance.

Hi all,

I'm currently doing my masterthesis and I'm a bit stuck. My thesis researches the link between self-esteem and social relationships and how anxiety and depression influence this relation (a moderation). However, I can't seem te find any research to back-up my moderation. My hypothesis is that there's a positive relation between self-esteem and social relationships, but with higher scores of anxiety/depression, the relation weakens.

I do find enough research that indicate that there's a positive relation between self-esteem and social relationships - and that this relation can variate with other factors, such as age, gender or ethnicity. Just not anything about anxiety or depression.

What I also find are direct links between anxiety and self-esteem, anxiety and social relationships, depression and self-esteem, and depression and social relationships. Which all indicates that there's a negative relation between the variables.

So, my question is: how can I best justify my moderation?

Thanks in advance!

The pursuit of academic excellence and standardized testing has become a cornerstone of modern education, with examinations serving as a benchmark for measuring student success. However, beneath the surface of grades and scores lies a complex web of psychological consequences that can have a profound impact on students' emotional well-being and long-term mental health. The hidden cost of examination goes far beyond mere academic stress, influencing self-esteem, anxiety levels, and even the development of debilitating conditions like depression and burnout. As we delve into the psychological impact of examinations, it becomes clear that the true cost of testing extends far beyond the classroom, shaping the minds and lives of students in profound and lasting ways.

Hello

I ran a parallel Mediation analysis using PROCESS Model 4, but the specific indirect effect of M2 is throwing me off.

X = Child sexual abuse; Higher scores mean more severe CSA

M1 = Depression; higher scores mean worse depression

M2 = Self-esteem; higher scores mean better self-esteem

Y = suicidal ideation: Higher scores mean worse suicidal ideation

The specific indirect effect of M2 (CSA-->Self-esteem-->Suicidal ideation) shows a positive indirect effect that is significant. Path a (CSA--> Self-esteem) is negative and significant, meaning for every unit increase in CSA there is a decrease in self-esteem. And path b (Self-esteem-->Suicidal Ideation) is also negative and significant, which I believe means for every unit increase in self-esteem there a decrease in suicidal ideation.

Question 1: The pathways individually (path a and b) make conceptual sense. I know the indirect effect is the product of path a and b multiplied together and that a negative multiplied by a negative is a positive. However, what does the positive indirect effect mean? Is the meaning of the indirect effect that CSA increases suicidal ideation through an increase in self-esteem?

Question 2: For pathway b (Self-esteem --> Suicidal Ideation) could the interpretation also be that the opposite is true, where a decrease in self-esteem increases suicidal ideation?

Many thanks!

Prolonged bed wetting has been continually occurring beyond the age of 7-10years, when most children typically achieve nighttime bladder control.

it is a common issue that affects approximately 10-20% of 10 years olds, 5-10% of 15years olds, and 1-5% of adults in Africa and beyond. Which these health implications in children and adults in Africa has led to;

(a) emotional distress and low self-esteem.

(b) social isolation

(c) skin irritation and infections

(d) sleep disturbances

(e) impact on daily activities and relationships.

How do I find research on how unconditional love helps in recovery? I work to help people recover, and poor self-esteem, not enough, and damaged goods are themes throughout. Is there research about this?

Your direction is appreciated.

Specifically, I am currently doing my research on the impact of school bullying on the level of self-esteem and subjective happiness in adulthood. Thank you in advance for any help. :)

Along with other dimensions of women empowerment can I use self-esteem to measure psychological dimension of women empowerment? I have measured self-esteem by the Rosenberg scale. I know there are many more aspects to measure the psychological dimension of women empowerment. As in my study I have considered other dimensions of women's empowerment, So that I have considered only self-esteem. I am working with primary data. I have finished my data collection. So not possible to include any other measure of psychological dimensions. So they have to work with self-esteem only. I need some reference to logically explain why do I use only self-esteem to measure psychological dimensions. If it creates any controversy in the future can I change the name as to the self-esteem dimension in that case? Looking forward to your valuable answer. TIA.

I am studying the influence of current beauty standards on self-esteem and body image f young women, what would be the ideal research design, qualitative or quantitative?

Dear all,

as part of my Master thesis, I am conducting a two-way repeated measures ANOVA on data from a social evaluation paradigm. The purpose for running this analysis is to investigate whether social feedback prediction (like, dislike) moderates the impact of social feedback valence (negative, positive, neutral) on participants' self-rated state self-esteem (i.e. whether unexpected social feedback exerts a differential impact on state self-esteem depending on the feedback valence).

Participants undergo several trials in which they are instructed to make predictions as to the social feedback they will receive, after which they receive alleged social feedback on a personality profile. After a random number of trials, participants need to rate their state self-esteem with reference to the previous social evaluations.

The analysis revealed a significant interaction effect between social feedback valence and social feedback prediction on state self-esteem. I have already plotted this interaction effect using a bar chart, but I would like to quantify the mean differences in state self-esteem between levels of feedback prediction for each level of feedback valence such that I can clearly describe the underlying simple effects and, accordingly, interpret the cause of the interaction effect.

Which methods/procedures/strategies would you recommend using to probe the valence x prediction interaction effect?

I hope that I have provided sufficient information.

Thank you very much in advance.

With warm regards,

Marius

Hello,

I am testing the hypothesis 'men will experience higher levels of self-esteem than women', and I've completed a KS test. The scores were normally distributed for the male group, but were not normally distributed for the female group. So I'm unsure which test I should be doing, any help would be really appreciated!

Hi,

I've ran reliability analyses for my data and received a negative cronbach alpha of -.562 for my Rosenberg Self-esteem scale.

I do have reverse scoring and have gone back to unreverse score and re-score to amend any mistakes I made.

However, after running my reliability test again i still received a negative result of -.608.

I'm not sure where the issue may lie as i have checked my reverse scoring and believe there are no errors made here.

How can i resolve this?

Thank you

The title of my study is 'The sociocultural factors that influence body image and self esteem of young people'. The sociocultural factors I am looking at are media, and friends and family. My aim is to see which of these factors has the greatest impact on body image and self esteem, and to see whether males or females are more influenced by these factors.

My DVs are body image and self-esteem, and my IVs are media, friends and family, and gender. Any help would be really appreciated !

hello, i have 4 variables (job demand, control, self-esteem, situational constraints) which all should predict a specific behaviour. is it right to do a bivariate correlation 4 times? or is this procedure completely wrong?

Here is the hypothetical situation:

I have a single IV; height (tall vs. short) based on nominal scale. There are two DVs; self-esteem and intelligence (based on Likert scale/interval).

The hypothesis is: Taller people are expected to have higher self-esteem than intelligence.

Which test should I use?

Hi there,

I am wondering how people's self-esteem can be reliably pushed down via experimental manipulation? Via fake negative performance feedback? Social exclusion? Or something else entirely? Which method produces the most robust (i.e., replicable and consistent) effects?

Does anyone know how to split a nominal variable on jamovi? I’ve attached an image of my data.

I am studying the effect of prematurity on psychosocial outcomes in adulthood

I want to do a correlation between pre-term/full-term and each psychosocial outcome (self-esteem, life satisfaction etc…).

Obviously if I run the correlation as it is now, it gives me one statistic, and doesn’t break it down into pre and full term.

How would I go about this?

Thankyou

Dear all,

I'm writing my master's thesis about fear of negative evaluation right now. We examined how likes and dislikes have an influence on the current self-esteem of a person and whether social support protects against self-esteem fluctuations in response to social feedback. Further, I'm investigating whether fear of negative evaluation moderates the relationship between social support and self-esteem fluctuations.

I'm using the BFNE-II score (12 items, only straight-worded) from Carleton et al. (2007). I read a lot of papers using this scale until now but still some of my questions remained unanswered.

1.) Is it scored 0-4 or 1-5?

Some papers score it 0-4 and others 1-5

2.) How are the scores interpreted? I calculated the sum and the higher this score, the more FNE a person has but is there any other interpretation?

3.) Are there any cut-off scores?

In the paper by Carleton et al. (2011) they name the BFNE-II (the one I'm using) BFNE-R and they name 38 as a cut-off score.

Many thanks in advance and best wishes,

Hi there! First post here, so hopefully this has all the requisite information.

I am a fourth year college student, working on my capstone study, which is on augmented reality lens usage (as in the live filters you see on Snapchat and Instagram and whatnot, to be brief) and the relationship with self-esteem, social comparison, and a number of other variables. I have conducted a survey and my sample size is 300. I am using SPSS.

For my scales, I have tested each scale internally with Cronbach's alpha, calculated the sum and/or mean for each construct/scale, and also recoded them into categorical variable versions (sorted by low, moderate, high) - not actually sure if this is useful? My professor was fine with it, but I sort of feel like they aren't paying super close attention.

My big question is: what tests are recommended for the following variables, especially if I don't know how to define them as independent/dependent or predictor/outcome? In many cases, they are both.

Then I have the following variables I would like to look at those in relation to (in addition to comparing them among themselves):

There are some other variables involved, but you should get the idea, I hope. It can be so hard to keep track of what tests are relevant for each pairing, and I don't understand how best to analyze more than two pairings at a time, so direction towards clear resources would be helpful. I do look at the papers that I adapted my scales from, but there are so many synonyms for the same tests that it can be so hard to get a grasp on what the test is doing, and I don't quite know when I should be using z-scores to compare variables.

Hello, I am currently conducting cross-cultural research on self-esteem and life satisfaction between students in Indonesia and China. The results are statistically self-esteem has no correlation with student's life satisfaction in China. In fact, many studies suggest that self-esteem can be a strong predictor of life satisfaction. Is there any research that can help me explain that self-esteem is not correlated with life satisfaction? or how can I explain these different results with previous studies? Thank you.

I am currently conducting a study about the self-esteem of working students what questionnaire should I use aside from the Rosenberg Self-esteem questionnaire? Also, it would be great if it's the latest or anything from the year 2011-2020. But any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

Good evening everyone, I'm writing the methodology section for my Bachelor Thesis and I'm quite confused about what the underpinning of my Thematic Analysis actually should be. My research's title is: "Exploring young adults' perceptions of the contribution of social media in wellbeing, self-esteem and body image amidst of the pandemic".

The only thing I have come to terms with is that I am going to adopt an inductive TA and now the question is: should I include a critical realist constructivist thematic analysis as well? I base this thought on the fact that in the previous paragraph of my methodology section (the research design paragraph) I mentioned that I chose the qualitative approach for my research thematic due to the fact that previours researches regarding social media and body image/self-esteem, conclude with social media's role in the (social) construction of beauty, body image and self-esteem. Also, I used Thin's (2018) reasoning for qualitative research of wellbeing due to the many ways that it is culturally defined, expressed and generally "socially constructed". So I was thinking maybe I should adopt this underpinning. The problem is, this is the very first time I am conducting such research fully on my own and I have to decide about the theoretical underpinning of my thematic analysis (my supervisor does not provide me any help on this one even though this is the first time we are asked to choose an underpinning for thematic analysis) and unfortunately after many hours of online reading, I still do not fully understand this approach. If anyone could provide me with some insight or further enlighten me in any way, it would be much appreciated! If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

Thank you very much! :))

Dear All,

I am conducting a moderation analysis using Process Macro Model 1. I would like to test if gender (measured binary) moderates the relationship between body image and self-esteem.

The main effect of gender on self-esteem is significant (b = -2.34, se = 1.11, t(297) = -2.12, p < .035, CI: -4.52, -.16), but the interaction term is not (b = .19, se = 1.5, t(297) = .13, p < .898, CI: -2.75, 3.14).

My question is: is it possible, that the main effect of body image is insignificant on self-esteem (see above), but the conditional effect of body image at different values of the moderator (gender) is significant?

It looks as if the main effect of body image is insignificant on self-esteem when I test the whole sample, however, body image positively predicts self-esteem for men and women separately. This does not make sense to me.

I would really appreciate your help and suggestions.

Hey Guys,

The 'question' above is a topic for a research report. I need some guidance regarding a potential title for the report as I am a bit stuck on which way I should take this.

Hi community,

I am trying to determine what is the best way to calculate the internal consistency of a newly developed self-esteem scale. I am working together with two other researchers on the evaluation of this scale, that is planned to be used in an international NGO's impact surveys. This self-esteem scale has been filled out by two samples of Ghanaian youth, and we are currenly analyzing the data. We are experiencing some puzzling findings while doing this.

The scale exists of 3 questions in the short version and 5 questions in the long version. Question answers are rank ordered (from low to high self-esteem), so the questions are of the ordinal measurement level. We used the McDonald's omega to compute the internal consistency of the questions, but I am starting to wonder if this is the best procedure. Do you maybe know what is the best suitable manner of calculating internal consistency with our particular set of questions, especially since there is a small number of questions and they have an ordinal measurement level? Ideally, this is a method we could use in SPSS, Stata or JASP.

We also have low levels of the McDonald's omega, about .310 (minimum should be .6 out of 1), which is lower than we hoped for. This could have something to do with a number of things, but what is interesting to note is that both the 3-item and the 5-item scales correlate significantly (p=<.001) with the Rosenberg self-esteem scale (one of the most validated self-esteem measurements) and a body image scale. Personally, I have struggled multiple times with finding internal consistency for validated scales when using them in a developmental context, and I am starting to wonder whether that says something about the scales themselves or about our way of understanding and calculating internal consistency in these contexts.

Has one of you ever struggled finding sufficient levels of internal consistency in your research studies? What was/were the reason(s) for that? What did you do to solve it?

We would be very grateful to hear about your personal experiences and insights.

Thank you in advance for your response! It is greatly appreciated!

A person sometimes do selfless favour only to get remember, or craves to receive. If one doesn't acknowledge his/her contribution. Person feel low and inferior. So my question is is being altruistic is a sign of low self esteem?

Hi all,

I recently posted a question about how to conduct a convergent validity analysis for a self-developed self-esteem scale. I got some very useful responses! However, something I am stuck with is how to determine the sample size I need to conduct a convergent validity analysis between our self-esteem measure and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale. A lot of the quoted necessary sample sizes are larger than I expected, but they also assume that I would want to conduct a factor analysis. Yet, I do not plan to do so, as I do not expect our measure to exist of multiple factors, and the number of questions is quite small as well. Does anybody know what are rules of thumb for sample sizes in case your measurement loads on just one factor, and all you want to do is determine the level of correlation with another established measurement (the Rosenberg self-esteem scale)?

Thank you so much!!

Hi all!

Together with another researcher, I have developed a new type of self esteem measure, to use in Ghana and potentially other countries. We wanted to create a measure that is less abstract, and more related to the daily lives of the respondents. Instead of using a typical scale, with statements and a Likert-scale as answer options, we use scenario based questions. We describe certain situations that are reflective of the lived realities of young people, and then let them select how they would most likely respond to that situation. Answer options describe different responses, which reflect different levels of self-esteem.

We now would like to determine the convergent validity of this measure, by letting respondents fill out our self-esteem measure, as well as 2 or 3 established self-esteem measures and determine how they are related to each other. However, I have never conducted such a study before, so I am looking for some guidance. Maybe some tips on how to go about it, literature that gives further guidance or anything else that could be of use.

Thank you in advance!!

SELF ACTUALIZATION :

As per the Maslow’s idea of hierarchy for human-beings, the self-actualization comes from the persons' self-esteem. In simple term, self-actualization represents self-realization or self-reflection or self-exploration. This entry describes the concept of self-actualization, how one measures it, how self-actualization develops across the life span, and how the concept of self-actualization has shaped the fields of humanistic and positive psychology.

Hi all, I would really appreciate some help.

I have recently conducted multiple imputations (m=5) on a very large dataset. I have then conducted linear mixed models with each of my outcome variables on each dataset. Following this, I have checked the model fits with AICs. My problem is that for many of my variables different datasets prove the best fit. For example, one of my outcome variables was self esteem and dataset 3 proved the best AIC, whilst for self-presentation dataset1 had the best AIC. There are a few that have the same dataset as the best AIC. Do I just go with that one? Or should I do another form of analysis to check this?

Thank you in advance :)

Entrepreneurial education is the process of providing individuals with the ability to recognise commercial opportunities and the insight, self‐esteem, knowledge and skills to act on them. It includes instruction in opportunity recognition, commercialising a concept, marshalling resources in the face of risk, and initiating a business venture. It also includes instruction in traditional business disciplines such as management, marketing, information systems and finance.

In other words, a good way to differentiate between the two education categories is to decide exactly what your career goals are.  With a Bachelor’s in Entrepreneurship degree, students will be primed with the knowledge needed to start their own business from scratch and become a jack-of-all-trades when it comes to running a small business.  With a Bachelor’s in Business degree, students will take a more scientific approach to understanding the inner-workings of large businesses to learn how they can better run and effect change within a large business.

all my dependent and independent variables are Scales.

Hypothesis 1 - those with low self-esteem will be more likely to make self-attributions than those with high self-esteem in the wake of a negative outcome (main effect of self-esteem).  

Hypothesis 2: those with high perfectionism will generate more self-attributions in the wake of a negative outcome relative to those with low perfectionism (main effect of perfectionism).

Hypothesis 3: It is expected that those with a

high perfectionism and low self-esteem will generate the most self-attributions in the negative outcome (interaction effect).

Good evening,

I was wondering if there was a non-parametric equivalent of a quadratic discriminant analysis?

What would you use?

Thank you very much,

I would be interested in self-report measures assessing

- different forms of addictive behavioures (e.g., Drug, Internet, Gaming, Gambling Addiction)

or

- different underlying general factors or motives (e.g., Impulsivity, Loss of Control, Self-esteem)

Do such measures exist?

What are your experiences in research and clinical practice?

I conducted a study using three dependent variables, which were self-esteem, social identity and life satisfaction. I plan to use a multiple regression. When I looked at the histograms and shapiro wilks test, I found that the data for self-esteem and life-satisfaction was significantly skewed. As this is the case, what would my next step be?

Would I conduct a spearman's rho correlation followed by the multiple regression?

Or would I need to transform my self-esteem and life satisfaction variables to make them normally distributed and then conduct a Pearson's correlation followed by a multiple regression?

Also, if I needed to transform my variables how would I do this on SPSS?

Thank you

I conducted a study using three quantitative variables and aim of the study was to investigate whether self-esteem and social identity predict life satisfaction. With the histograms, I know that the data for self-esteem and life satisfaction is significantly skewed, however I am unsure about the social identity data? I have calculated the skewness and kurtosis for the data, which is:

Skewness: -.091

Kurtosis: -.46

I was wondering if I could get a second opinion on the social identity histogram?

Also the Shapiro-wilks test shows that the p value for social identity is .723, which I know is non-significant.

What does a non-significant skew mean?

And if the social identity data is normally distributed, what does it mean of the data has a non-significant normal distribution?

I would be grateful for a reply. I have attached the Shapiro-wilks table, the descriptive statistics and the social identity histogram.

Thankyou

All the participants took part in both conditions:

there was no main effect for self-esteem on the DV, [F(1, 51) = 0.02, p = 0.880]

There was also no main effect for gender on the DV, [F(1, 51) = 0.33, p = 0.568]

In terms of the two independent variables; there was no interaction between the effects of self-esteem and gender [F(1, 51) = 0.001, p = 0.977]

The significance level was set at 0.05

So what would these results show?

I want to assess the effectiveness of an educational intervention in modifying cognitive predictors of tramadol abuse among a group of youths.

I consider both attitude and beliefs as cognitive factors in addition to knowledge and self-esteem. But can attitude and beliefs be measured as separate variables?

Thank you for your anticipated answers.

I have a set of five self-attribute variables (x1, x2, x3, x,4, x5) representing how individuals view themselves (e.g., how attractive they think they are) and a set of five variables, which capture how important they think each x is (i.e., y1, y2, y3, y4, y5). What I am trying to do is to compute a new set of variables (z1, z2, z3, z4, z5) which transform x by taking into account y. The idea is that examining only views on self-attributes might be misleading. Pelham and Swann (1989) did that by computing a differential importance index: "A differential importance index was computed for each participant by treating each of his or her specific self-ratings as a "predictor" observation and each corresponding certainty rating as a "criterion" observation in the computation of a within-subjects correlation coefficient."

I am at a complete loss on how to this in SPSS. A step-by-step guide or alternative ideas will be tremendously appreciated.

Hello everyone,

I am currently conducting a meta analysis as master thesis for the effect of SNS use on self-esteem.

there are many studies which report multiple types of SNS use and its correlation ( posting photos, browsing profile etc.. ) so I am not sure if I should code only one of them or aggregate all into one. and how to do the aggregation because it does not make sense to me to simply calculate the average of all these variables.
