Music Music Education Psychology self-esteem self-esteem enhancement music music education musical competence The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a music-based intervention program on the self-esteem levels of elementary students. All subjects in the control andtreatment groups were pretested with Harter's (1985) self-perception profile for children, <i>What I Am Like</i>. After a ten-week intervention with the treatment group, all subjects were posttested with the same survey. The quantitative results showed that mean gains in perceptions of global self-worth, scholastic competence, social acceptance, athletic competence, physical appearance, or behavioral conduct could not be explained by participation in the musical treatment group. However, in semi-structured interviews, twenty of the twenty-one members of the treatment group reported valuing their participation in theintervention, and some individuals in both the treatment and control groups experienced gains in global self-worth and/or other dimensions of self-esteem from pretest to posttest.These results suggest that self-esteem intervention programs may need to be individualized based on a person's self-esteem strengths and weaknesses, or that interventions may need to be administered to groups with common interests and values in order to be effective. 2008-05-03 English text Bowling Green State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1206035483 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=bgsu1206035483 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
