Social Context Differences in the Relation Between Self-Esteem and Self-Concept during Late Adolescence.

Greene, A. L.; Reed, Elizabeth

Journal of Adolescent Research, v7 n2 p266-82 Apr 1992

In a study of 39 college and 43 noncollege youths, social context significantly differentiated self-concept and self-esteem. College youths were higher in self-esteem, adjustment, achievement, and agency. Also, social context was found to differentiate the relation between self-concept and self-esteem: agency predicted self-esteem among college youths, while achievement predicted self-esteem among noncollege youths.
