Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立臺灣師範大學 === 衛生教育學系 === 94 === The purposes of this study were to investigate self-esteem of junior high school students and related factors. By using crowd random sampling method, 374 of valid samples of the seventh and the eighth grade students selected from a junior high school in Taipei city were surveyed with a self-administered questionnaire. Data was analyzed with independent-sample t test, one-way ANOVA, Pearson product-moment correlation and multiple linear regression. The main findings of the study were as follows: 1. The level of subjects’ global self-esteem and the 5 ingredients of self-esteem were above average. Among the 5 ingredients of self-esteem, the highest was affiliation, followed by mission, competence, security and selfhood in order. 2. The relationships with significant others were above average. The relationship with classmates was the closest, then the relationship with mother. 3. The global self-esteem was significantly correlated with grades, scholastic competence, and father’s and mother’s education levels. 4. The five ingredients of self-esteem were significantly correlated with gender, grades, scholastic competence, maturity, and father’s and mother’s education levels. 5. There were positive correlations among relationships with significant others, global self-esteem and the five ingredients of self-esteem. 6. Personal background factors and relationships with significant others could predict males’ self-esteem. 7. Personal background factors and relationships with significant others could predict females’ self-esteem except mission. At the end of this thesis, these results were discussed and suggestions for education and further studies.
