Parental Contexts of Adolescent Self-Esteem: A Developmental Perspective.

Isberg, Roberta S.; And Others

Journal of Youth and Adolescence, v18 n1 p1-23 Feb 1989

Relationships between parental behaviors and adolescent self-esteem were analyzed for 40 male and 50 female early adolescents from multiple settings. Increasing individuation in self-esteem regulation occurs during adolescent development; adolescents of higher levels of ego development evaluate themselves more independently of parental feedback than do their less-developed peers.
